Good suggestion. Here is what happened.
First off I labeled one camera of footage as "FRONT" and copied/pasted that angle name into all 3 files. It pieced them together just fine. This camera is a prosumer video camera, so there are no breaks between the files. It assembled it no problem.
Second pass I added only one additional camera of footage. This was from another posumer video cam and there are no time breaks between the files. This one got labeled with the angle "GUEST1". Same deal, copy/paste so no typos. The result was only one of the 8 files was used (the last on in the sequence) files are named 0000.MTS - 0007.MTS, only file 0007.MTS was used and it was entirely in the wrong place.
The unused files were not moved to the "Original Clips" bin, if that is at all helpful, and yes I did select all the files. I actually repeated this one twice to be certain and got an identical result both times (including incorrect placement of the one file.)
Third pass, I added one of our DSLR sources. There are time gaps between these files, but they are minimal (1-3sec) Again cut/paste the angle name into the meta "GUEST2" this time. Ran the multicam process with the "FRONT" and "GUEST2" the result was the same as before. Only the last file from the second camera was used. In this case 1 of 6 mp4 files all with sequential names.
Fourth pass, I attempted all 3 camera positions. "FRONT" again was perfect, both "GUEST1" and "GUEST2" had only their last file used, and all others seemingly ignored.
When I opened the multicam track, both of the single files from the "GUEST1" and "GUEST2" cameras were again in the totally incorrect location.

Any thoughts, thanks again for the help. Since the incorrect result appears to be the same each time I'm inclined to thing that the issue is in my process, but the fact that the multicam routine is reliably leaving behind all the files save the last one from each of these cameras seems extremely strange.
