How to use Multicam clip, not as a sequence, but as a clip in other sequences?
I usually work in FCPx which creates a multi-cam sequence that you can double click and open as a sequence, but also provides a Multicam clip in the browser that I can set in and out points in like a regular clip and use in other sequences or “projects” as they are called there. I’ve done many google searched about how to access the Multicam clip that way in Premiere. what am I missing, kind Premiere Pro gurus?

A multicam clip is a clip and behaves like one. When you double-click a multicam clip in the bin, it loads into the source monitor ready for multicam editing. It will edit like a clip, retaining it’s multicam properties.
For sequences, regular or nested, you can right-click in the bin. Down near the bottom is “Open as Source Sequence.” This will load the sequence into the source monitor. When you edit from a sequence, you can choose to patch tracks independently or treat the source sequence as a single video clip (nested). The toggle for this is in the upper right of the timeline, next to the “snap” icon (the magnet). When on, it treats all source tracks as one and nests them into the target sequence. When off, you can patch source tracks independently.
One glitch I discovered in testing the above: if you use “Open Source as Sequence” on a multi-cam clip, you get only one angle. Probably the last one selected.
