    Do you mean to preview or for the final piece?

    Here’s the basics on multicam setup:

    — Select clips for each camera angle.
    — Find “slate” points and cut the clips there.
    — Move clips to a bin.
    — Highlight clips.
    — Go to Modify dropdown menu and select Make Multiclip
    — Select “Sync using in points”.
    — Check “on” all clips.

    Your multiclip will then be created and can be found in the bin.

    Drag this multiclip into a sequence.

    — In Viewer: Show Multiclip Overlays; Show Source Angle Effects should both be “on.”
    — Go to View dropdown menu — Playhead sync — Open
    — Go to View dropdown menu — Multiclip Active Tracks — Video + Audio
    — Go to View dropdown menu — External Video — All frames (not sure if this is essential)

    When you click on your sequence and hit the space bar, you should see all camera angles in the viewer playing simultaneously and the “program” or selected camera angle should be playing in the canvas as well.

    To select a camera, just click on the angle in the viewer.

    At the end your multiclip will be cut into their respective camera angles. You can go back and fine tune the cuts, too.

    Is there any way of viewing more than one angle on an external monitor? I’m using a Kona LHe with DVC Pro HD 1080i60 footage @ 23.98fps (24/60)
