I just upgraded to Premiere 5.5 and shoot a lot of multicam events. As this was the first project since my upgrade, I had everything ready to go and then noticed that the resolution on the Multicam Monitor was considerably lower than it had been in previous versions...including 5.03. Other 5.5 users have noticed the same thing. It's very pixelized and difficult at times to see the image clearly. Is there any reason for this decrease in resolution, and is there something I can do in Premiere to rectify this issue? Some hidden menu or button that I haven't seen?

I don't have 5.5 yet, but does the multicam monitor have the same right click context menu that the program and source monitors do, where you can select the playback/paused resolution of the video? That'd be my first guess...

Not at the editing box right now but I recall being surprised when I upgraded and both 2nd monitor full screen and the multicam seemed aliased. The default resolution was, I think HALF, so I changed it to full rez and it became beautiful again. So I'd guess that David B is correct. Let us know whether or not that solves your problem.

Fraid Not. Both I and another user contacted Adobe support and they told us that it indeed was a bug in the 5.5 upgrade, but will be rectified in an upcoming fix..... I hope. My program monitor plays at full resolution. It's only the multicam monitor where the low rez problem exists.
