MultiCamera Mode

After loading a group clip into the Source monitor and editing it to create a new sequence, select

MultiCamera Mode from the Special menu to activate the features. The MultiCamera Quad Split

Edit or MultiCamera Nine Split Edit is displayed, depending on whether you were in Quad Split

Source view or Nine Split Source view before entering MultiCamera mode.

You can also enter MultiCamera mode by clicking the Quad Split button or the Nine Split button

if you have previously mapped the button to one of the toolbars in the Timeline or the

Source/Record monitor.

MultiCamera mode takes the Nine Split Source view and Quad Split Source view one step

further: it gangs all clips in the group clip displayed in the Source monitor with the sequence

displayed in the Record monitor. All clips are synchronized and continuously updated during

playback and editing.

You see the best real-time playback performance when you play material that was recorded at

10:1m, 4:1m, or 1:1 resolutions. Also, you see better performance when you play in Best

Performance mode rather than in Full Quality mode. For more information about these modes,

see “Playing Effects Back at Different Video Qualities” in the Help.

When you play back multicamera material, you can cut by using the MultiCam keys to select

different camera angles when stopped. The camera angles you selected with the MultiCam keys

are recorded as cuts in the Timeline and are displayed in the Record monitor.

MultiCamera mode. The Source monitor controls are disabled.
