Initial printing preparation

I'm considering getting a 3D Chameleon for my creality CR6-SE printer using it in mode 3 when the mk4 is released. My question is because i normally start a print with filament primed up to the hot end. With this system, will I still able to begin the print with the beginning colour pre primed to the hot end and with no additions to the custom start gcode? Or will it only work if all filaments are started just before Y-adaptor and using custom start gcode to prepare the filament at start, similar to what the Chris Riley tutorial shows? If possible I would prefer to stick with my usual method of beginning the print with the starting filament pre loaded to the hot end. advice of anything I should do differently from the tutorials to achieve this would be greatly appreciated otherwise some trial and error may be required.

Thank you. It appears that I have missed somewhere that you have to start the print with no filament loaded into the printer, just up to the y adaptor and that starting a print with filament all ready loaded will not go very well.

I think this way might make setup a little easier and I will just have to learn to do things a bit differently when starting a print
