System information
Previewing multiple takes
In multicamera editing mode, the Video Preview window switches into multicamera mode, with a
multicamera tiled view showing the contents of all takes simultaneously. The active take is highlighted with
a colored border.
Notes:
n Vegas Pro can preview many takes at once in multicamera mode, but your computer performance
will limit the playback frame rate.
n If you have multiple video tracks and/or overlapping video events, the topmost multitake event is
displayed in the Video Preview window. Single-take events, such as title overlays, are ignored. When
there are multiple video tracks, the topmost event is the one on the topmost track. When there are
overlapping events on the same track, the topmost event is the one to the right.
