    Doing my first multicam edit….two camera shoot of a dance performance. Of course, the two cameras don’t match exactly so I tweaked the color of one to get them closer together before I started editing.

    I had no idea that Vegas could not hold the color correction when going into multicam mode. Thinking of tweaking each take of cam 1 after the edit is making my head explode (this is a pretty Loooonnnngggg project). Is there an easier solution to color correction in multicam mode? (BTW…I’m using Vegas 8)

    Never mind…I found out how to do this….you have to make your color corrections at the media level….this seemed to work…I’m doing a test render to see if the output looks alright because you don’t get a preview when you edit the media file after the multicam edit is completed….

    I’ll try the second half of the project tomorrow…

    9. Once you get your multicam edit done and you want to color correct the video, you can apply it to the media in the media pool or to each individual take or the track. (if you apply your color correction before you enable the multicamera track, you will lose it once a multicam track is in place).

    Right click on media in the file bin and select media effects.

    SHABAM!!!

    just found this after reading you guys

    I have tried to color correct in the media file, in the Project Media, but I can not preview what I’m color correcting. The trimmer does not show the color correction of media.

    1. In Project Media

    2. Choose file

    3. Right Click > Media Fx

    4. Add Fx chain

    5. See media in trimmer but the color correction is not showing any of the changes.

    This is where other comments leave off.

    Any way to see the media fx color correction preview?

    Thanks.
