[Answered] Change Settings of Multicam Timelines

PostMon Oct 25, 2021 1:23 pm

Hey everyone,

I have a multicam timeline in 1920x1080 already edited to the main timeline.
I wanted to change the dimensions of the multicam timeline, but can't find the option to.
Want to know if there's a method.

It isn't. I'm wondering if after making a multicam timeline if there's not much flexibility to do anything else but switching. Maybe it's a feature I should request?

Correct, there is not. You could make your own request, or add your +1 to this lengthy feature request thread that's related to the general concept of nested containers and mentions the point of having no settings control over Compounds and Multicams: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=115706

Multicam uses the resolution of the parent timeline, if you take a 256x256 pixels multicam and throw it inside a 1920x1080 timeline, it will act as a 1920x1080 even if it appears as 256x256 in the media pool.

Good to know, panos_mts. Your name reminds me of MTS files I got from PANOS for an edit.
My concern is if it downscales the original resolution of the footage to the timeline settings and doesn't use the full resolution of the source media for output.
