The other angles shift position to make room for the angle you are moving.

Release the mouse button.

The moved angle is dropped into its new position and the other angles shift to new
positions. All of the angle numbers change accordingly.

To delete an angle from a multiclip

1

Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.

2

Command-click the angle you want to delete and drag it outside of the Viewer, then
release the mouse button.

The dragged angle is deleted from the multiclip, and the other angles shift position to
fill in the empty space.

Adding Angles to a Multiclip in the Viewer

Once you create a multiclip, you can drag clips from the Browser to the Viewer to insert
new angles or overwrite existing ones.

Important:

With one exception (see below), these operations change the angle structure

of the multiclip, which breaks the multiclip master-affiliate relationships. For more
information, see

“Working with Multiclip Master-Affiliate Relationships.”

When you drag a clip from the Browser to a multiclip in the Viewer and hold down the
mouse button, colored overlays appear with angle insertion and overwrite options:

• Insert New Angle

• Insert New Angle Affiliates

• Overwrite Angle

Note: The Overwrite Angle overlay does not appear when you place the pointer over the
active angle because you cannot overwrite the active angle.
