Synchronizing Angles in a Multiclip
When you create multiclips using the Make Multiclip command, you can choose to
synchronize the clips by In points, Out points, or matching timecode numbers.

• In points: This option aligns all clips so the In point of each clip is synchronized. If you
use this method, you first need to visually identify a common sync point (such as a
clapboard closing) in each clip by setting an In point. If a clip has no In point set, the
Media Start is used.
In point of each clip
• Out points: This option aligns all clips so the Out point of each clip is synchronized.
Before you use this method, you need to establish a common sync point by setting an
Out point in each clip. This method is useful if your footage has a tail slate (a clapboard
recorded after a scene ends). If a clip has no Out point set, the Media End is used.
Out point of each clip
• Timecode: This option aligns all clips by the first timecode number in common. Normally,
you use this option with multicamera footage recorded with cameras or decks that
received the exact same timecode signal.
