    Hi
    Im making a 3 or 4 screen installation, and have to edit 4 tracks.
    It would help a lot to be able to see four tracks in the wiever at once, like when editing multicam productions. But as i know that only woorks with material that is grouped, and set in a fixed synch relation? Any tips?

    Why can’t you use the multicam process. There really is not fixed sync relationship. You just set and inpoint on your 4 camera and then make them a multiclip. If there is not talking heads on al cammera’s that makes it even easier. If there is then you have a sync point. It may not be matching time code, but find first audio on all of your clips, sest an inpoint and bam you have all you need for a multiclip.

    Thank you for reply Steve C!
    The thing I want to do is to edit the tre tracs separately, but watch them simultaneosly. So i will be editing the synch points all the time, or better; i dont want any synch points.
    I need a window witch shows all tre tracks at once, but the tracks should function as regular tracks. Possible?
