I was wondering something. I have a project going on where I am using multicam in Excalibur. I have 4 cameras presently in the project. I already did the process of putting in a marker and aligning up as best as possible, and running the sync mode in Excalibur. I have since manually shifted all tracks where they are pretty much sync'd. I now have been given camera #5, and want to use some of the footage from it also. Since I have only done the sync process in Excalibur, (even thought it has put several master tracks in the project, can I just add a video track and insert footage from camera #5 into the timeline and manually sync it with the other 4 tracks, and still be able to do the camera selection process, and finally the finishing process of Excalibur? Or am I going to have to start from start with all 5 camera?
Thanks
Steve

Here's what I would do:
1. Delete the "Extra" tracks (Tally, Tally2, and Overlay).
2. If you're using 6.0.3 - reset the Track Motion keyframe at the beginning of each camera track. For older versions, select all camera events and run the "Reset Pan/Crop" tool.
3. Add the 5th camera and manually sync it.
4. Run the Sync tool with NO markers (now using 3x3 instead of 2x2)
