Hello - I'm doing Multicam for the 1st time on MC and I've searched the forums on a tutorial and cant find one, althought there's tons about the topic. In the MC help file it says " After loading a group clip into the Source monitor and editing it to create a new sequence, select MultiCamera Mode" etc... How do I load a bunch of clips into the source viewer? I've mapped the 9 split button to the KB and I have 9 video tracks in my sequence and all the timecode are locked, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the 9 split to come up. What am I missing here? Thanks!

You have to create a Group clip in the bin.  To create a group clip, select the clips in the bin and then use the keyboard shortcut shift+ctl+g or go to the Clip menu and select create group clip.  It will ask how to sync the clips (aux timecode, timecode, in point) after you make the selection it will create a group clip in your bin.  Load that group clip into the source side.  Here's the step many people overlook, edit the group clip into the timeline.  Now you can turn on multi-cam with the keyboard shortcut shift+ctl+m or go to the Special menu and turn it on.  You should now be able to see multiple camera angles filling those quad or nine split screens.  I hope this helps.

Wow that was easy!! if that's in the help file I'll eat my shorts (I hope no one proves me wrong on that count)

So that being solved, when I play the group it doesn't play all streams in real time, all 9 squares show the same image. When it's still, I see all cameras. I've tried yellow/yellow mode same thing. My footage is SD 1:1. Is that the way it's suppose to behaive? I have an Adrenaline. Thanks.

You might want to watch this nice "quick tour" movie, which actually explains all basic steps and shows how it should look on your adrenaline system:

I'm not sure if your clips being 1:1 causes bandwidth problems (shouldn't, with adrenaline, should it?), but of course you should see all nine clips running simultaneously - that's the whole point of multicam editing, isn't it? I've been doing this only with dv25 footage, but that went fast and smooth and the system "felt" like there was still headroom for higher bandwidth clips.

what i've been doing is syncing my clips/audio, entering a aux tc at the start of each clip along with an add edit and then going to my bin and selecting multicam after i highlighted my clips. it automatically makes your groups and gives you a multicam file that you load into your source window.
