Using Multicamera, wanting different pan/crop settings on each video

Hello all! Apologies if asked before, ive searched and cannot find an answer.

I'm using Multicamera to edit two video tracks (it's a video of an event with two cameras facing different ways on the same topic). One camera is fixed and the other is roaming. The fixed camera needs a crop/pan to make it at a better angle, but the roaming needs to stay as was filmed.

Is there a way to do this without having to click each cut individually and "paste attribute" one by one? I just wish to save time.

Screenshot attached to visualise what i mean (ignore media offline, it works fine).

Move all of the one camera to it's own track and use Track Motion to adjust it (or use the PIP effect on that new track)

You can apply the CROP effect at the Media Pool Level in combination with the Picture in Picture effect.

Is there a way to do this retroactively after the multicamera effect has already been used, or must it be done from the beginning?

I also could not seem to work out why CROP and PIP would need to be used. Apologies for my basic level of understanding, ive never used these before.

As the two cameras have been combined into one multicamera track, whenever i try and just select the "hard" camera track (once edited), it also selects the other camera, as they are now one track together as such.

You can do it at anytime. It depends on what you need to do. PIP may do all you need.Crop only crops.

@edlerman, it would probably be easier to do as DMT3 suggests and add the effect(s) at the media level. That would do them all at once.

Spot on - PIP appears to have done exactly what i need! Thank you both so much for your help!!!
