"If I film a 5 minute show using 3 cameras can I put all 3 on 3 time limes . ." - YES

" . . and view all 3 at once . . " - YES, 3 windows on 1 external monitor

" . . and cut to any of the 3 and create a new clip? " - YES.

Buy Vegas!

But don't take MY word for it .. wait for the deluge of replies . .

Grazie

How do you acheive that?

Might I suggest a side order of Tsunami, with a 3x1 video wall setting?
You can then watch all three tracks at once either on the preview window or ext monitor. placing markers as to which cam you want for that portion.

I don’t know how Grazie does it but one way is to add Track Motion to each track and make them a PIP. This will give you all three on the preview window at once. Once you’re finished making your cuts, either remove the single Track Motion keyframe from each track or move them all onto one track without Track Motion. Alternately you can move them to the new track as you go (possibly make that a 4th PIP to view the final selection).

Why not split the preview screen into 4 equally sized windows (to maintain aspect ratio) using PIP; one window for each of the 3 camera clips and the fourth showing the composite (edited) view. Edit: Oops, I guess jr already said this.

I guessed that's one way but Grazie did say three windows...

Sorry Guys . . been out visiting family .. Sunday and all that. . .I use Track Motion to get more than one track visible in Preview or External Monitor. . . .However, I prefer to use the Preview Window rather than the External monitor option:

1 - Faster Preview

2 - Clearer Preview

3 - Somtehing else that could possibly make use of the RAM and thence potentially crash my system

Apologies for not spelling out . . .. Grazie

Made the upgrade to Vegas 2 months ago - just a newbie, but very impressed. My first project was a two camera shoot, cut together in Vegas. Would have been an agonizing job in my previous entry level NLE (Studio 8 )

Buy it!!!
