Removing Camera Switch in Multicam Mode at DVinfo.net

I'm using Vegas 8.0c and multicam. Quick question - once I have a camera switch/transition on the timeline, how do I go back and REMOVE it if I decide to? I can click near it, and the cursor snaps to it. But how do I delete it?

Right click> delete active take.
You can also right click> change transition properties, from cut to dissolve or whatever.

Actually, there are several ways. In addition to what Paul said, the simplest thing would probably be to just click on the incorrect event (after the switch you want to remove) and then just press "T" until the same camera is visible.

Another option would be to DELETE the incorrect event. Then just extend the previous event to fill the hole you just made. That's really the option to actually REMOVE the camera change. The other options simply make it look like the camera change did not happen.
