System information
2. Once all of your cameras are laid out across tracks, synchronized, and ordered to your satisfaction,
select the tracks from which you want to create a multicamera track (or press Ctrl+A to select all
tracks). For more information about synchronizing your video, see "Synchronizing Video in
Multicamera Projects" on page 192.
3. From the Tools menu, choose Multicamera, and choose Create Multicamera Track from the
submenu. Vegas Pro builds a set of tracks containing a series of events, with takes representing each
of the cameras.
A new event is created for each time a camera was started and stopped, as well as empty "(no
camera)" takes for video events where cameras were missing.
If you have envelopes, effects, or motion applied to the original camera tracks, these will be
lost during this operation.
4. You're now ready to start editing your multicamera video. For more information, see "Editing
Multicamera Video" on page 194.
Editing Multicamera Video
Once you have synchronized multitake events, you can use multicamera editing mode to choose takes and
switch cameras. This can be done while Vegas Pro is paused for cuts at precise points (such as certain
timecodes or beat markers), or it can be done live during playback. Playback continues even when a take is
chosen.
When multicamera editing mode is active, video envelopes, effects, and motion are bypassed in the
Video Preview window to preserve your playback frame rate.
Enabling multicamera editing mode
To edit multicamera video in Vegas Pro, you must enable multicamera editing mode. From the Tools menu,
choose Multicamera, and choose Enable Multicamera Editing from the submenu.
