I’m guessing the question is really how many clips can play back in real time in the multicam split because you can have many more clips in a multicam and you can play back. How many you can play back at once in real time is dependent on many factors including frame rate, resolution, speed of your Mac but more importantly hard drive speed.

The exact NUMBER is a bit UNKNOWN since I don’t know of a specific formula but if you’re USING thunderbolt storage and you’re using ProRes as your codec of choice you will be able to play back more simultaneous streams you can ACTUALLY keep track of in real-time.
