Play nested multi-camera clips in the Program Monitor
1 Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the nested multi-camera sequence in a Timeline.
2 From the menu, select Multi-Camera, and make sure Enable is checked.
3 Select Multi-Camera again, and select the camera desired for viewing in the Program Monitor.
Play clips in the Multi-Camera Monitor
1 Select the track header of the video track containing the clips in the multicamera target sequence, and then select
Window > Multi-Camera Monitor.
2 Do one of the following:
• Use the playback controls in the Multi-Camera Monitor.
• Use the playback keyboard shortcuts (spacebar, J, K, L).
A yellow border around a camera preview indicates the active camera. If you click a camera preview, the border turns
red and you’ll begin recording that camera footage to the sequence.
Note: The Multi-Camera Monitor previews the targeted video only. Effects applied to the target sequence don’t display in
the Multi-Camera Monitor, though effects applied to the source sequence do. To preview a multi-camera sequence with
target-sequence effects applied, as well as any additional video and audio tracks, preview it in the Program Monitor.
Rerecord multi-camera edits
1 Position the current-time indicator before the edit you want to adjust.
2 Start the playback in the Multi-Camera Monitor. When the playback reaches the spot you want to change, switch
the active camera by clicking the camera’s preview in the Multi-Camera Monitor.
Note: No recording occurs until you switch the active camera. The active camera’s preview border switches from yellow
to red.
3 When you are done editing, click the Stop Playback button in the Multi-Camera Monitor.
Adjust multi-camera edits in a Timeline panel
❖ Do any of the following in the multi-camera target sequence:
• To replace a clip with footage from another camera, select a clip in a Timeline panel and choose Clip > Multi-
Camera > Camera [1,2,3,4].
• Use any of the standard editing tools to make changes in a Timeline panel.
Insert or overlay clips in a multi-camera sequence
You can make edits to a multi-camera sequence from the original four camera clips. For example, if one camera
recorded a presenter and another recorded a screen of presentation slides, you can intersperse shots of the presentation
slides. You can use this technique as an alternative to rerecording sections of the multi-camera sequence.
1 Double-click the multi-camera target sequence in a Timeline panel to open it in the Source Monitor.
