3. Select the video and audio tracks in the nested sequence, and then choose Clip > Multi-Camera > Enable. The command is unavailable
unless you have the video track selected.
4. In the Multi-Camera Monitor, click the downward-pointing triangle next to Video 1 to open the Select Video Track menu. Select the video
track containing the multi-camera nested sequence. Then click the downward-pointing arrow next to Audio 1 to open the Select Audio Track
menu. Select the audio track containing the multi-camera nested sequence.
Record multi-camera edits
You record a multi-camera edit in the multi-camera target sequence you have already assembled. (See Add clips for multi-camera editing .)
1. Select the multi-camera target sequence in a Timeline panel, and then choose Multi-Camera Monitor from the Window menu.
2. In the Multi-Camera Monitor, click the Record On/Off Toggle button .
You can also switch into record mode during playback by clicking a camera preview in the Multi-Camera Monitor.
3. To record audio from the selected camera to the audio track, select Audio Follows Video in the Multi-Camera Monitor panel menu. Deselect
this option to record audio from the audio track selected in the source sequence.
In order to retain audio from more than one track simultaneously, mix all the desired tracks to a single track in the source sequence,
select the resulting audio track, and deselect the Audio Follows Video option.
4. Click the playback button in the Multi-Camera Monitor to start playing the video from all cameras.
The footage from the active camera is recorded in the multi-camera target sequence. A red border indicates the active camera, and the
large preview shows the content you are recording.
5. To switch to another camera and record its content, click its small preview in the Multi-Camera Monitor.
You can switch cameras using a keyboard shortcut. The 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys correspond to each camera.
6. When you are done recording, click the Stop button or the Record button to get out of recording mode. You can then use the playback
controls to preview your sequence without recording over it.
The target sequence is updated to show the edit points where each camera switch occurs. Camera 1 is the default track in the target
sequence. No recording occurs, so no edit points are created until you switch cameras. Each clip in the target sequence is labeled with the
camera number (MC1, MC2).
Another method is to not use the Record button or play through the sequence, but to simply move the current-time indicator to the frame you
want and select a new camera.
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.
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
