Resolve: Need larger source viewer during multicam

Any insights here would be greatly appreciated.

I'm doing a multicam edit. The grid of camera angles to select from in the source viewer is the most important thing to be able to see clearly, but I can't make it very large. If I hit Cinema Viewer (control-F), the timeline viewer goes full screen and I can't see the source viewer anymore. If I leave it in dual viewer mode, the camera angles are so small that I can't make critical decisions in real time while editing.

I'ts frustrating because I have three (!) monitors. 2 GUI monitors in dual monitor mode and one flanders reference connected by the decklink card. With all of those monitors, I'm still limited to a rather small source viewer, which is normally not a big issue when editing single cameras at a time, but with the grid of all the different camera angles in a multicam edit, you simply need a bigger viewer.

Am I missing something here? Can you actually make the multicam viewer/source viewer full screen?

Thanks,
O
 
Lightworks has user sizable desktop windows for all viewers in its classic flexible layout mode. With dual monitors the multi-cam edit preview can be full screen.
If you do a lot of multi-cam editing, it is worth giving Lightworks a try for that feature alone. Once the first cut timeline is finished you could export an EDL to Resolve for finishing.
