have you tried pressing the mute track button on the top video track?
(little blue circle with slash thru it on on the track panel)
this will all you to cycle between video track 1 and video track 2

or you can use the track motion on both video tracks to "shrink" them and place them 1/2 size each, so you can watch them both at the same time.

Cool, the mute works, haven't got the split screen thing yet.

For multi cameras, many use Track motion to temporaily reduce the size of each track - I have had six cameras all playing at once - like a control room.

If you track down Ed Troxel's Vegas Tips and Tricks Newsletter, there's an article on ways of doing this, plus of course the best way of all - use Excalibur.

Vegas Tips, Tricks, and Scripts - look specifically for the issue that talks about multi-cam editing!

There are several ways of doing multicam edits.

For small numbers of camera (2-3)
I add each shot as a take so I have only one timeline event.
I then do splits and I use the T key on the keyboard to switch between each angle.

That is a workable method, but what about adding a dissolve or transition? What about 200 of them?

When I go to print to DV, I then need to change the Track Motion back to be 100% and 100%, same position for each track right?

When I printed to tape, I got the PIP/mulitiple windows on tape.

When *I* print to tape, I just have to make sure the "Master" track is at 100% (and it never leaves 100% so that makes it REAL easy)
