After selecting a clip and making changes, in the inspector for example, one needs to go back to the viewer to re-select multicam mode.
Good Luck
Thanks for your message, Howard. We use Change Clip Speed (via custom shortcut - Ctrl + R) to change the clip speed.
With your message, I was testing around and found the fix for this exact concern:
When there is a clip speed/retime effect added to a multicam clip, and is on Single Viewer Mode with Inspector open(not dual/no multicam/source monitor) - the custom shortcut for switching multicam angle does not work. However - if we turn off inspector panel, then switch to Dual Viewer Mode, and open Multicam Viewer. Then the shortcut works.
This turning off inspector panel, and opening dual viewer, then multicam viewer is not required for clips without any clipspeed/retime effects.
Overall, rightclicking the exact clip>Switch Multicam Clip Angle>Angle1/2/3/4 is faster than closing and opening these panels. As not everytime we need the Multicam Viewer open, as it sometimes hampers playback perfomance.
Maybe a custom AutoHotKey would be ideal for doing this right click mouse option. As we already use that for other stuff like Move Playhead to Cursor.
Still unable to find a fix for flattening Multicam Clips which have Clip Speed/Retime Effect Added.
I had one more concern - there are some projects where we want to Change Scaling of the Original Video to Crop Mode or any other Mode (via Retime & Scaling in Inspector Panel) after making the edits on the Multicam Project. I have found that this is not possible - unless we flatten the multicam clip.
(our raw footage is 4k, and exports are 1920x1080 OR 1080x1920)
Flattening the Multicam Clip is the only issue we are mainly facing now, specially for the clips with retime effects added.
