I’m sure not the expert on any of this but I’m saving lots of time using multicam. I use to put several camera tracks on top of each other and I would basically have to guess where to switch cameras, split a clip on the top track, drag it to the right to view the camera below, etc. I had a pretty good idea of where to split clips but it was cumbersome to say the least.
Using multicam I can easily switch between clips and then if I want later I can still move camera 1 to a different track and the edits will still be the same length, etc.
After I separate them I can continue editing from there as if nothing were ever put into multicam to begin with. At least that’s how I’m seeing it.
