About the Multi-Camera Monitor
The Multi-Camera Monitor plays the footage from each camera and a preview of the final edited sequence. When you record the final sequence,
you click a camera preview to make it active and record footage from that camera. The active camera is indicated by a yellow border when in
playback mode and a red border when recording.
The Multi-Camera Monitor includes the standard playback and transport controls and keyboard shortcuts. The Play Around button
plays
around the edit point in the preview display, including any preroll and postroll frames specified in General Preferences.
In the Multi-Camera Monitor, clips are displayed in a grid. The grid automatically adjusts to the track count with a minimum grid size of 2 x 2. For
example, if there is one track, the multicam grid is 2 x 2. If there are seven cameras, the grid is 3 x 3. If there are 16 cameras, the grid is 4 x 4.
Turn time ruler numbers on and off in the Multi-Camera Monitor panel menu.
You can also use the Multi-Camera Monitor to change angles, and cut to new angles in multi-camera target sequences. See

If the Multi-Camera Monitor displays the same frame in large previews on both the left and right side, the current clip is either not a multi-
camera clip or a multi-camera clip that is not enabled.
