I'm having a problem with multiple GPS cams. I wanted to make a separate cam for each CP on a trials track, but restart only seems to work on the first one.
On cams after that, when I restart, the GPS cam keeps playing--my view doesn't return to normal, even though I can see the car spawn in off to the side. I'm still "stuck" in the GPS.
Each cam is from a separate short replay. For each one, I removed the default camera track, added a custom camera track, then exported a clip, and imported that clip into the appropriate in-game MT track.
In each one, text and transition tracks are set to keep playing (I tried turning this off, and it didn't make any difference).
Am I missing something obvious? It seems like this should just work (and it does work on the first GPS cam, just not any after that)? This is the first time I've tried to do multi-part GPS, instead of just one...
Help with GPS cams--restart only works on first one?

One suggestion:Click on the first block of each track and look at the top-left corner of your screen - is the 'Keep playing' button ticked or red? if ticked (and green), the video will not stop at the end of your custom camera track.
I often find, for example, when I add a text track, the button is ticked by default, so the text stays on the screen way past where I want it to stop.
It's a complicated business and I too am learning after several months of headaches....

Nighthawk, thanks for the attempt to help, but like I said above, I had the transition and text tracks set to "keep playing", but it didn't make a difference when I un-checked it. 
Someone on the TM Exchange forums suggested that I add an empty clip trigger to each of the CPs, which would basically act as a mediatracker "reset" upon restarting. That worked and solved my problem, but I thought I should add the solution here, in case someone else has the same trouble and finds this thread.

Sorry I didn't read carefully (/me idiot) but "... add an empty clip trigger to each of the CPs, which would basically act as a mediatracker "reset" upon restarting"...
