If you search for multi camera editing it should guide you in the process. First make sure the tracts are very well synced. Second make a duplicate of each tract. Third select the each duplicate track make sure all selected at once. Finally tools multi camera editing create multi camera track (this puts all of the duplicated tracks into one new tract this will change preview so you can see a small picture of each. Once you have this display turn on preview play and click on the one you want displayed and it will cut when you click. If you hold down the control button as you click. Auto overlap. No control it is a split cut. Turn off enable multi camera and preview will show the final project. Takes some practice but great skill to put into you bag. Probably could find a YouTube video demonstrating. Here is one I did a few years ago. I think there were 5 cameras included. https://youtu.be/NhK-X0mn_0w

Important to note that that Procoder also comes in an express package. Many of the features at a fraction of the price. I use it for MOV and windows encoding, quick, easy with good results.

At under $100 it is well worth the money. My projects ( high school marching band performances and practices) are for nonprofit so I do not get paid. The ability to turn out a quality multi cam project the same day it was taped and deliver to the kids/directors the next morning is well beyond the price.
Add in the photo montage capabilities and there is great value.

Excalibur can also do this for you.

Thank you now I know.

I hate to be dumb, but what is a window blind?

I do multi camera performance videos on a regular basis. I would highly recommend Excalibur for slicing and dicing the two camera tracks. After the tracks are synced it is really a lot easier to watch two at the same time, decide which is the better shot and add a marker for a cut.
I also have problems with color correction – different cameras operated by different people not having been white balanced properly or difficult lighting situations – high school auditoriums, gyms, or fields under the bright field lighting.
The HSL filter or the color correcting controls in Vegas will help fix these problems. Others in the forum can give specific instructions but remember to do the correcting before making the cuts on the original video tracks, this will save the effort of doing each cut seperately.
Good Luck

I like using nero because it gives an indication that the material has been verified – something that DVDA does not do. Nero also seems to burn a bit faster. I have never really timed it so that observation could be incorrect.

The Software that comes with the EPSON R200 printer has a number of different versions of the DVD Logo. Seems funny they can include them as clip art but officially we are not allowed to use them. I wonder how epson has the right to do so?

I delete sections from a multicam edit by setting the region to be deleted, right clicking on select entire region and deleting. Then I use the post edit ripple to adjust the tracks.
A question. Why do you move track 2 one frame before putting in the sync markers? I usually just leave the tracks alone after syncing them. Just wondering.
You can do PIP and multicam without running the sync wizard.
