Default Multicam switch

is there a way to have a multicam video control? let's say I align in reaper 3 videos and I would like to switch between them with 1 2 3 keys, basically just selecting the track, cutting and muting or similar comand... is there some scripe to make this feasible?

thank you

One way is to make a custom action to 'EXOR' each track using the 'Toggle mute track #' action.

3 custom actions assigned to your 3 keys like
1:
Toggle mute for track 2
Toggle mute for track 3
SWS Select only track 1
2:
Toggle mute for track 1
Toggle mute for track 3
SWS Select only track 2
3:
Toggle mute for track 1
Toggle mute for track 2
SWS Select only track 3

This only works when you start with 2 out of the three tracks muted, natch. But it does work.

solo can't be automated, track mutes can.

there are two ways I can see to approach this, but neither are optimal.

I'm gonna try to build both workflows for a video tonight.

The OP didn't ask for automation.

no but I'm just guessing the point of it is to create a video with multiple cameras with as few steps as possible. They were describing a workflow from Premiere. You play the video once, tapping number keys to change angles in realtime. you can then fine tune the timing of the cuts.

I hate Premiere but when that feature works it is great. Confusing to set up sometimes.

I have something now that works almost exactly like the Premiere multicam editing. Works stopped or during playback. including 4 video preview.
