    Here’s a good one. A two cam shoot. Cam A and Cam B, and they start and stop very frequently. My editor would like a single group clip, so I created a sequence to sync them up and added auxiliary timecode to sync them. This means, when A cam drops out, and comes back, it will appear as the third angle in the group.

    My editor would like for Cam A to always appear in the same angle bank, and B always in the same angle bank. How would I do this?

    Create a third clip by logging it so that the timecode spans all your other clips. use that as part of your group clip. Arrange clips accordingly once in multicam view. Pretty sure that should do it for you.

    Turned out by using multigroup instead of group, and making sure I sorted first by auxiliary timecode, and second by tape name, it did exactly what I needed. Thanks for your suggestions!
