Freezing up while editing Multi Camera footage in Vegas Pro 21

I'm having a problem with constant freezing while editing a project with multi camera footage. I'm running Windows 11, AMD Ryzen 9 3900, 64 gb RAM, NVIDIA RTX 2070. The footage has 3 video tracks recorded with two Sony A7R III cameras and a Samsung S23 Ultra. I was able to edit the footage from the 3 separate video tracks fine but as soon as I created the multi camera track it started freezing consistently.

Multi Camera mode is resource intensive.

You may have better luck creating video proxies from all of your media files first.

Thank you. I'll give that a try. It would be nice if there was a more graceful way to handling it other than locking up. Maybe give the option to make the proxies when you add large videos to Project Media? I suppose if it could be easily predicted they would have designed for it.

On certain file types, Vegas already does this.
