 The Multicam Selector strip is used for multi-camera editing.
 Multi-camera editing is when a scene is recorded using multiple cameras from different angles
-and then edited together afterwards. This process can be rather easy in the Video Sequencer
-if you properly setup every to improve your workflow.
+and then edited together afterwards.
 
 
+Workflow
+========
+
+The process of multi camera editing can be rather easy in the Video Sequencer if properly setup.
+The following guide shows the basic steps to setup a basic multi camera editing workflow.
+
+#. First you are going to want to add in each of your video strips.
+#. Next, you will want to sync all your cameras by either using
+   :doc:`Audio Waveforms </video_editing/edit/montage/strips/sound>` or by the movement of objects.
+
+   .. tip::
+
+      To make syncing strips easier you can group cameras, their audio,
+      and their effects together using :doc:`Meta Strips </video_editing/edit/montage/meta>`.
+
+#. Split the editor into many :doc:`Previews </editors/video_sequencer/preview/index>`, one for each input track.
+   Then change the :ref:`Display Channel <bpy.types.SpaceSequenceEditor.display_channel>`
+   of each of the previews to the channel number of the input track.
+#. Add a Multicam Selector strip *above* all the video channel tracks.
+
+   After completing these steps you should get something similar to the following image:
+
+   .. figure:: /images/video-editing_sequencer_strips_effects_multicam_example.png
+
+      Multi-camera editing setup.
+
+#. Now select the Multicam strip, if you take a look at the strip options (in the Sidebar),
+   you will notice, that Multicam is a rather simple effect strip:
+   It just takes a selected channel as its input. That is all.
+   The magic comes with the convenient keyboard layout.
+#. When you select the Multicam strip, the keys :kbd:`1` to :kbd:`9` are mapped to the cut buttons.
+   So, select the Multicam strip and start playback and press the keys
+   for the correct input while watching the individual cameras.
+#. You will end up with a small Multicam Selector strip for every cut.
+
+In reality, it boils down to: watch a few seconds to see, what is coming,
+watch it again and do a rough cut using the number keys.
+Then fine-tune the placement by selecting the outer handles of two neighboring Multicam for A/B rolling.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   To improve playback performance enable :doc:`Proxies </editors/video_sequencer/sequencer/sidebar/proxy>`.
