  • More about multicamera mode

    Posted by Harry Putnam on December 22, 2010 at 7:11 pm

    Not being able to see multicam preview, I started searching these forums and found what is supposed to be the sequence one needs to follow to see and edit in multicam mode.

    John R shows this sequence in his second post on
    THIS thread:

    • (1) Select the tracks you want to edit in multicamera mode
    • (2) Then select Tools | Multicamera | Create Multicamera Track
    • (3) Finally select Tools Multicamera | Enable Multicamera Editing

    When I attempt to follow that the Multicamera/Create Multicamera Menu item is greyed out (inactive).

    I have selected two stacked video/audio clips
    Went to Tools/Multicamera and always that choice is inactive.

    OK Tried select/enable multi cam First, still Create Multicam trk is inactive.

    Where am I missing the boat?

    You need to select the tracks by clicking and shift+clicking the track headers.

    I’m going to update this in case someone finds this in the future.

    Also, make SURE you have your audio tracks in sync before entering MCM because it appears that you cannot resync them after you start editing. I tried it today, and no matter what I did, even after expanding tracks and undoing multicamera editing, that I could not slip tracks to sync.

    Was I missing something?

    If not, be forewarned. I needed to revert to last save.
