View Multiple Cameras Unnested

[angaelica]

Hi there, is there any way to view multiple video tracks at once if you choose to view your multicam sequence as individual clips on the timeline instead of the nested view? Thanks!

Yes. And @Jarle Leirpoll and @PaulMurphy are both better at explaining this than I am.

To view multiple camera angles while working with a multi-camera source sequence in the timeline, follow these steps:

1. Load your multi-camera source sequence in both the Source Monitor and the Timeline.
2. In the Source Monitor, click the Settings (wrench icon) and enable Gang Source and Program.

This will sync the Source Monitor with the Program Monitor, allowing you to view all camera angles at once.

@PaulMurphy Thank you for the response! This works, but I am wondering do you have to reload the Source Monitor for each different clip on the timeline? In other words, how do you load the entire sequence in the Source Monitor? Thanks!

[R Neil Haugen]

Right-click on the sequence in the bin, "open in Source monitor".

If you have multiple multi-camera source sequences on your timeline and want to view all the angles for each, you can enable Multi-Camera Mode in the Program Monitor:

1. Click the Settings button (wrench icon) in the Program Monitor.
2. Select Multi-Camera from the dropdown menu.
3. Alternatively, use the shortcut Shift + 0 to toggle Multi-Camera Mode.

Hi there, this still hasn't worked for me. The two video sources are not synced up when I open the full sequence in the source window. Both the program and the source monitors will play clips, but they aren't the two clips that are layered one on top of the other in the timeline. Using multi-cam mode doesn't work because each layer of the timeline is separate. They are not nested. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks so much!!

To further clarify, I created the clips using the multicam option but then dragged the the multicam into the sequence with "insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips" toggled off so that you can see all the separate tracks. Thanks!

Did you try right-click, "open in Timeline panel "?

[angaelica]

I'm not sure how this would apply to this question?

[R Neil Haugen]

Depending on how you get a multicam 'clip' into the Timeline panel you get different views.

Doing it the way I suggested normally gets each clip on it's own video track.

And of course, going to the Program monitor settings, and setting it to Multicam, then shows a left-side panel with all clips showing in sections of the side, and the currently 'selected' clip of the timeline full-size in the right side of the Program monitor.

If you edit the multi-camera source sequence into the timeline as individual clips, and there's no way to see them in a multi-cam split view. They're no longer multicam source sequences; they're individual clips. The only way to see multi-cam angles in a multi-cam split is to set them up in a multi-camera source sequence.  The only other option would be to just scale the clips down and change their position, building your own little multicam split on the individual clips.
