In Multicam mode can I get 2 cams to the 1 primary screen ?

I would like at some stage in the project get both cams to line up next to each other across the primary screen showing both angles.

Have looked but can't see what may be obvious !

How can this be done please in both MEP Prem and Video Pro X ??

I have looked at the very good tutorial by browsj for side by side but I was thinking more of a 'on the fly' while editing multi cam.

I tried to find those video tutorials again and couldn't find the links.. This looks like the page where they are supposed to be but aren't.

Do you mean like this?

Are you turning on Multicam mode - Edit, Multicam ?

If not then you need to do this, you will get this message if there are objects on tracks 1 and 2- click Yes

There is more information on Multicam mode in the PDF manual available under Help

Thanks John. Yes I have found that okay but it was rather the side by side fx I was after.

browsj I think it is who has a nice video tut about it sort of.

But that is doing it manually , I was thinking more of on the fly whilst in the 'choosing' which cam mode.

EDIT: I have just found the video tuts at https://www.magix.info/us/tutorials/

Still would like to know if I can do the side by side on the run sort of.

Hi.

I don't think you can do this "on the fly", only in "postproduction" because it would mean you have to absolutely simultaneously click on two source images and then expect MEP/VPX to understand it must put one into the left half of the screen and the other into the right!

So, you need to create your edited multicam version (in Tracks 1 and 2 in multicam mode) and then, once out of multicam mode, go back to the sections where you wish to be able to view the output of two cameras in the same screen, and use Size>Position to make the "existing" camera fit one half of the screen and add the second to fit the other half.

Thank you. I just thought there may be an FX option where one would pre set what track went left or right etc.

That's fine.. one can't expect to have everything.

Thank you for the guide too.
