How to use Multi Screen Mode on the timeline.

Question: So I have an interview that was shot on wide with 1 camera.

I know that Premier will allow you to do a multi screen switch kind of like when you are punching a live broadcast on a truck.

My question is this.  I am am using the same clip and with each one set a different possition and scale to simmulate a different camera, I now have the same clilp stacked 4 times on the time line with each track with its own possition and scale.  If I set that up as a multicamera and want to just do a "live punch" for the interview does it matter if I am using the same clip?  because my hope is I hit the play sequence and according to the tutorial, I just click on the screen I want to go to program....??

Anyone ever used premier this way and might offer some help?

Yes, that will work. Here's what you do:

1. Select all of the stacked clips and nest them.
2. Right click on the new nest and select Multicam > Enable
3. Turn on the Multi-camera view in the Program monitor using the wrench or the button shortcut.

Voila!
