    Hi,

    I’m having a hard time to get my keyboard controls, and for that matter MOST controls to work while in multicam mode. I’ve named all of my angles correctly. Made a multiclip, load it into the viewer then load onto the timeline.
    I’m on ‘open’ and can watch all angles together in the Viwer AND on the canvas, just not change angles in the viewer.

    Sometimes i’m able to select between camera angles, other times i’m not able to by using keyboard controls or the buttons. A lot of the time clicking on the separate angles in the viewer doesn’t allow me to change individual angles, it only moves the green box selecting the separate audio channels? I know i’m completely missing something here?

    I’ve read thorugh as many tutorials and forums as I can on this, but can’t figure out what’s going on? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    James

    [Giant Tarantula] “A lot of the time clicking on the separate angles in the viewer doesn’t allow me to change individual angles, it only moves the green box selecting the separate audio channels?”

    In the View menu go to “Multiclip Active Tracks” and make sure “Audio + Video” is selected if you want to cut audio and video at the same time. If you just want to cut the video and have the same audio source untouched then select “Video”.

    To be consistent with always having the angles visible in the viewer and the active angle present in the canvas make sure that the playhead sync button (that’s the middle one at the top of the Canvas window) is set to “open”.

    Also make sure that “Show Multiclip Overlays” is selected in the View menu.
