Multi camera editing

Hi, I just downloaded Vegas Pro 20, I did use a Vegas program a couple years ago and then switched to adobe but I wanted to go back to the vegas program. I am trying to use the multi camera editing feature. I watched a tutorial on it and followed the instructions but I can not get it to show both cameras on the screen. Also, in the tutorial when the person selects "create multi camera track" all his clips stay where they are, when I do it it moves all video to one line and all audio to the line underneath. Why is this happening? Is it a user issue or a program issue and how do I fix it? I would love to use this feature in my editing if I can get it to work for me.

Processor   Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8300H CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz
Installed RAM   12.0 GB (11.8 GB usable)
System type   64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Using windows 11

One thing to consider... VEGAS Pro Recommends 16GB of RAM for 1080p, 32GB for 4K, and for 4K, it is also recommended to have a modern GPU with at least 8GB of VRAM. Being that your system falls below these specs, it's recommended you use proxies. To create proxies of your media, right click on the videos in your project media bin, and select "create video proxy" from the menu that appears. This process will take some time, but when finished, as long as you have your preview window quality set to "Preview" or "Draft" quality, you should notice a big gain in performance when editing multicam.

Does that mean that it wont edit multi camera footage?

It will, you just may have to use proxies like described above.

Try it without them first, though, if you notice performance is too sluggish, then build the proxies and try again.

Your video was actually exactly what I needed. I was selecting all the audio clips as well as the video clips. You just ended days of frustration. Thank you!
