I had 3 cameras at my wedding so what would be the most efficient way to get all 3 angles playing and choose the best one for that moment? I have been capturing the video from one camera, put it in Vegas, then begin to edit but to see all seperate cameras would seem to be more efficient. Any tips or ideas how to accomplish this concept?

if you have vegas 8, multicamera. If you have excal (maybe in ultimate s too, don't know for sure) you can use the multicamera with any version of vegas that's supported. If you have neither, put each camera on their own track & use track motion to change the size so you can see all three.

"Is it possible to view 2 seperate tracks (in Vegas) on 2 seperate monitors at the same time?"

The question is... why would you need to???

If you press F11 then you can turn one monitor into a FULL track monitor. You can then put everything else on the other monitor. My main monitor is a 25.5 inch wide screen and when I use it for full tracks I can make the tracks literally bigger than the previewer.

When you hit F11, the video is then previewed on the larger screen, ok i got that! Can you watch one track on the larger screen? For example: Camera1 was fixed on the bride and Camera2 was fixed on the groom thus running both tracks at the same time? Running it way would seem pretty efficient especially with 2 fixed cameras. Running 2 separate clips at the same time would allow for some pretty cool transitions not to mention previewing 2 clips at the same time. Sorry if my question is repeated in this reply but you have stated in your reply that F11 would allow you to preview "everything else on the other monitor." Thanks again!!!!

I can completely understand WHY you'd want to do this however Vegas is not the kind of system that does this.
New Tek have these kinds of systems. It's pretty much also how editing on a good old linear system works. Of course these kinds of systems get expensive as track / tape preview is on external monitors, you just don't have enough real estate on a PC monitor nor enough CPU grunt to handle all those video streams in real time.

The other way to work if you want uber fast editing is to switch vision through a vision switcher to a VCR. At the end of the event the edit is pretty well done. Expensive option though, especialy in HD. Then again a few years back we had someone do an edit through an MX50 by playing out 3 VCRs into the MX50 and having one for record. No sync, just seat of their pants but it was quick.

Well, Maybe I'm just dense but I'm totally confused as to why you would need each track on a separate monitor. I suppose you could always spark up 2 instances of Vegas and run one on each monitor, but I'm not exactly sure what this would accomplish.

Maybe if you state what the end goal is to be? Is your end goal a split screen with bride and groom on the screen at the same time??

If this is the case then put the bride on one track, the groom on the other, go to track motion on the left, zoom out both tracks, put one on the left and the other on the right. You will now see both tracks in the preview. You need a fast system to view this at full frame rate though.

He already said why (or rather, why he thinks he needs them on separate monitors): "I had 3 cameras at my wedding so what would be the most efficient way to get all 3 angles playing and choose the best one for that moment?"

And TheHappyFriar answered his question: Vegas 8's multi-cam tool, Excalibur, Ultimate S, or good old fashioned track motion.
