My apollogies if this sounds like too basic a question, but I need some help on this.

Just shot a concert using 4 cameras, and it came out great. But there is one section where there is a good shot of a soloist, and I would like to show it in a split screen with the band.

How can I do that from the Multi-Cam timeline in Premiere Pro CS5.5?
Also is there a way that I could show all 4 camera views at once?
Thank so much for your help!

You can use the crop, scale, and position controls to create a split screen, putting the two clips on separate tracks. You also might find use for the PIP (picture-in-picture) presets, which offer some animation as well, particularly for the 4-camera view you mentioned.

Here's a tutorial: http://premiere.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=193167\

and the Adobe help file: Adobe Premiere Pro * Creating common results (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS166DBF09-FBA5-4f3f-86D8-2F6F91B2AAC2.html)

Google is your friend, there is a wealth of how-to information not only on the Adobe help system but adobe.tv and lynda.com, to name a few.
