I have 2 video tracks and one audio track in edit mode in PD12. I now want to go to multi-cam mode ( MCM) to synch them and edit them that way but when I switch from edit to MCM the tracks disappear and I have four blank windows and it now wants me to import media in to MCM... why do I have to import my media all over again? The media has a green check mark next to them showing that they are in the timeline. I tried to select all the media to see if they would then show up in MCM but they do not.
also, how do I rename tracks? it would be easier to know which camera I am going to by knowing whose camera I am cutting to.
Thanks

Well, this time when I highlighted the tracks they came in to multi-cam editor ...
wish list:
I wish I could mute audio on video tracks like I can in edit mode
I wish I could rename tracks in MCM
learn how to extend some video on one track to blend with another track once I have my edits done. I like seeing two video tracks at the same time sometimes for a cool effect. (see some of my videos on YouTube as genegenedtb to see what I do)
Thanks all

Ill just keep asking questions as I go along to see if anyone can help with any of my questions.
In Premiere I could right click on anything in a timeline and then cut or clear that item. I don't see how to clear anything that I don't want while in MCM. I tried to cut one thing by clicking on the little lines next to camera but I got rid of the wrong clip and now I cant get it back... anyone know how to do that?
