Switching back and forth from two cameras

Using MEP11

I recently taped a lecture with 2 cameras. One wide angle on one side of the room and the other camera I used as a close-up camera. I have put one cameras footage on track 1 and the other cameras footage on track 2. Once I match the two audios is there an easy way to switch from one camera to the other?

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, that's not how digital editing works. You'd have to edit it all together, so cut up your two videos into the takes you'd like to use, delete the ones you don't and position them together onto the same video track:

The ability to do that will be in MEP 15+, it has a switcher built in.
