Bouncing more than 4 feed in multicam at DVinfo.net

Does anyone know if there is a way of adding more than the standard 4 camera angles to a multi cam project.

I am editing a music video with lots of takes (10 +) and I started doing a piecemeal edit and quickly got discouraged. I moved on to the multicam tool and have been using that to weed out all of the bad camera shake and bad shots. So basically I have now got 2 good whole takes with multiple clips and angles. I want to merge these 2 takes together. Does anyone know if this is possible without outputting them to another file first.

I.E -

Bounced camera angles 1 to 4 into one sequence called "Sequence A"
Bounced camera angles 5 to 8 into one sequence called "Sequence B"

Can I multicam Sequence A and B into another sequence without outputting them as separate files? I tried this but only one of the feeds was played back so I am rendering now, it's just really just a test if this type of work flow is possible. If not does anyone else have any good ideas for editing music videos with many takes, the main problem seems to be the time code although I did set up audio queues on all takes but it's more hassle than I imagined :)

i think you could open a new sepuence "sequence c" and copy and post your timelines you made with the multi cam tool into sequence c on tracks 1 and 2. line them up and multi cam between the two.
