Source Viewer bug with Multicam view
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2023 2:13 pmIn 18.5.1, it seems as though when the Multicam view is selected in the Source Viewer, you can no longer activate the Source Viewer panel, which makes hotkeys that work within the Source Viewer panel unusable.
The Source Viewer needs to be the active panel in order to use hotkeys to change the Source Viewer Options to either Source, Offline, Audio Track, Multicam, or Annotations. So because this bug prevents the Source Viewer panel from becoming active while in Multicam view, you can not use hot keys to switch between different views once you've selected Multicam. If you try to use the hotkey to activate the Source Viewer while in Multicam view, it will actually active the Timeline Viewer instead, and using hotkeys to switch Timeline/Source viewer doesn't work.
In practice, this means that if you use hotkeys to toggle to Multicam view, you can't use hotkeys to toggle back to Source view until you mouse over and change it manually.
Not sure if this was fixed in 18.6, but hopefully it's resolved soon if not.
