Multicam Not working correctly in Beta 6

Hello and Happy new year!

So after spending the week between Christmas and New Year sourcing parts to build and new machine (My asrock fatal1ty x99x killer bit the dust unexpectedly). I finally got around to working with the speed editor and Resolve 17 Beta 6. My main reason for moving to Resolve (from Edius since 2000) was because the ATEM Mini Pro ISO outputs a multicam .drp ....

Today I wanted to test creating a multicam project from scratch using footage of an already delivered job. I loaded the 2 camera clips into the media tab and created a multicam clip (right click selected) that appeared to work properly as it created a single muticam clip icon and a folder for the original files.

When I jumped to the edit tab and created a timeline using the multicam clip, it now brings down the 2 video clips stacked in-sync, but the Multiview window shows nothing and you cannot switch back and forth selecting (pre-cutting) which view you want as your program out...

This software touts amazing features, but these basic editing workflows need to work and be rock solid to be of any professional use....HELP!

Create a new timeline. Then add the Multicam clip to it by dragging it from the bin.

That worked! thank you for the prompt reply.
Shouldn't the "Create timeline form multicam clip" option also worked? bug? Fluke?

Also, shouldn't I be able to bounce between the cut & edit tabs? when I jump to the cut tab and select sync bin....it says no sync'd clips??

Not sure about switching between edit and cut since I don't use the edit tab. The point of having the timeline with all the source angles is to be able to detect clips from the same camera and sync them up. Once you have moved the clips from the same camera down to that cameras angle timeline you can delete the unused angles. Also I use it to do a general color correct for entire angles before going into the multicam edit.

Shouldn't the "Create timeline form multicam clip" option also worked?

I don't have such an option.

I wonder if this is another feature that just doesn't work when using a Timelines Bin.
