While the MCD is intended to be used "live" as you've described: swapping between the various cameras as the scrubber moves along; that's typically just the first step.
Make sure your start by clicking on
Produce as: Single Video, and start recording the MCD camera. When you're ready to save what's essentially your rough draft, click on
OK then save the main project.
Next, click on the
MC x clip on the timeline and choose
Designer |
MultiCam Designer to re-open it in the MCD.
This time, simply drag the connecting edge of each section to the left or right as needed wherever you want to adjust the timing. Take as long as you like, and change as often as needed, just be sure to click on
OK and save the project often so you won't lose any work. You can also change the specific camera used for any section, and/or use the Record button again to overwrite any sections you'd like to do over completely.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes - that's what
Undo is for! The more you practice the easier it will get to get things very accurate the first time through, and then to go back and tweak any timings whenever you want by re-entering the MCD. It should also be much faster/easier than trying to manually time the transitions and then go back and match them...
