saving preview monitor setting
We are doing a 4 camera edit and I have split the monitor screen to preview all four tracks to make the rough cuts. Now I want to go back to a single view preview to adjust fades etc. Is their any way to save the muli-track preview setting so we don’t have to re-draw the screen each time we want to go back to the 4 camera setting?

For multi-cam editing, look at Vol 1 #9 of my newsletters (link below my name) to see multiple means of editing multi-cam projects. If you are doing it manually, you really should look at using a script as it simplifies the process tremendously.
My immediate suggestion for you would be to use a MASTER track. Copy the segments you want to keep up to a master track. Now when you want to see the PIP’d view, simply mute the Master track.

Edward modestly didn’t say it, but I will – get Excalibur!
As well as dozens of other very useful functions, Excalibur makes multi cam editing a real pleasure – it automates all the time consuming parts of the job, including helping synch the cameras together, and creating multi screens for whatever number of cameras, with Tally numbers to identify each.
Then it is a simple matter of going through and when a camera change is required, hitting M to create a Marker and giving it the number of the camera to cut or dissolve to.
Once you’ve been through, a single click assembles your program for you. The time you save will more than pay for the program.

Excalibur has made multicam so easy for me to edit that practically everything I shoot is multi-cam now.
