Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 626)

4 Do one of the following:
• Choose Modify > Make Multiclip.
• Control-click one of the selected clips, then choose Make Multiclip from the shortcut
menu.
The Make Multiclip dialog appears, showing the angle order and relative media alignment
of the selected clips. If a clip’s Angle property is empty, Final Cut Pro looks at the reel
name or media filename to derive an angle number. See
“Deriving Clip Angle Numbers
from Reel Names and Filenames” for more information.
5 Choose a synchronization method from the “Synchronize using” pop-up menu.
For more information about angle synchronization, see “Synchronizing Angles in a
Multiclip.”
6 If you don’t want to include a clip in your multiclip, deselect the checkbox next to the
clip.
This clip will not be
included when the
multiclip is created.
7 Click OK.
A new multiclip called “Multiclip N” appears in the Browser (where N is the automatically
assigned multiclip number). This number increments each time you create a new multiclip.
You can change the name of the multiclip at any time. For more information about naming
multiclips, see
“Identifying and Naming Multiclips in the Browser.”
Creating Multiclip Sequences
The Make Multiclip Sequence command allows you to create multiple multiclips at the
same time. When you capture a lot of media files from a multicamera shoot, it can be
time-consuming to create multiclips one at a time using the Make Multiclip command.
When you need to make a lot of multiclips at the same time, you can use the Make
Multiclip Sequence command to create multiclips based on the starting timecode numbers
of your clips.
