colour correcting cam B in a multicam shoot...

...after I performed a multicam edit? Is it possible to just fix that one tape and have all instances of that camera automatically corrected?

I recall somewhere it might be possible to add an effect to a clip in the bin but I can't get that to work.

Apply the correction to the track at the track level. Click on the icon on the track header at the left of the track.

Apply the correction to the media in the Project Media tab. Then any clip on any track that uses that media will be corrected.

Jack, if the multicam edit used the native Vegas Pro multicam feature this approach would not work, since the track uses takes for the process and any track level FX would then apply to all the footage on it. The only way to accomplish the correction then is on the media itself. I've done this countless times.

That's true and may I also add for anyone considering a multi-cam edit, be careful with what Vegas does to tracks.

I am finishing up a wedding and saved the ceremony for last for a number of reasons.

I synced up my tracks and enabled Multicam... and Vegas promptly collapsed all of the previously edited timeline, blowing away some of the layering I did previously.

Thinking now I guess it makes sense, I only lost my dissolves and colour correction, but still always build your multicam timeline in an instance of Vegas outside your main timeline.

My bad. I wasn't thinking of the multi-cam part of the question.
