You could use Track Motion on the camera clips to view all cameras simultaneously in real time. Then move the camera desired for each segment to a "master" track that does not have any Track Motion. This would let you see all cameras at once similar to the MultiCam product.

While playing, you could press "M" to place markers where you want to switch cameras.

Personally, I just solo the tracks, pick the camera I like best for each segment, and then move it to the master track.

I did it slightly differently. I had three cameras, and I put the most frequently used track on the bottom, next most used in the middle and least used on top. Then I would just "chop away" at the two upper tracks to get the edit I wanted. Not saying this way is any better. It just worked for me.

If anyone is curious about the results of this project (my first), it's at www.tiferet.com/keneally. It's a live show of Mike Keneally (former Frank Zappa "stunt" guitarist), and is the result of three cams from three different taper/fans, as well as soundboard audio from a fourth. The second set is the best.

Thanks to all your input. I'll try your suggestions, though Marty's seems a bit more easier to do.

Marty's tutorial on multicam editing is superb. My monitor still has the three labels stuck around the screen indicating "Cam 1" "Cam 2" "Cam 3". It's the easiest of several that I've tried, and his tutorial page is bookmarked. There's several other well written tutorials there too. Nice Work Marty!! Thanks for your ongoing support here and at the COW...

Marty,

Just what I was looking for. (No wonder United Media doesn't have MultiCam for Vegas!). Just this feature is already a couple of hundred dollars savings.

Thanks again,
George
