Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 659)

When you work with multiclips, you can choose to match to the original Browser multiclip,
or to the master clip of the multiclip’s active angle.
To match the active multiclip angle in the Canvas to its master clip
1 Move the playhead to a specific frame of the multiclip in the Timeline or Canvas.
2 Choose View > Match Frame > Master Clip (or press F).
The master clip of the multiclip’s active angle is opened in the Viewer to the same frame
as the active angle of the multiclip in the Canvas. This is a convenient way to get back to
an angle’s master clip from within a multiclip.
To match the active multiclip angle in the Canvas to its associated multiclip in the
Browser
1 Select the multiclip in the Timeline, or place the Timeline playhead over the multiclip.
2 Choose View > Match Frame > Multiclip Angle.
The multiclip in the Browser is opened in the Viewer to the same multiclip frame that
appears in the Canvas, with the active angle highlighted.
To match the active multiclip angle in the Viewer to its associated multiclip in the
Timeline
1 Double-click a multiclip in the Browser to open it in the Viewer.
2 Choose View > Match Frame >Multiclip Angle.
If the multiclip in the Viewer exists in the Timeline, and the active angle in the Viewer is
also active in the Timeline, the Timeline playhead jumps to the frame that is displayed in
the Viewer.
Media Management and Project Interchange
Multiclips are a unique aspect of Final Cut Pro, so you need to be aware of how
Final Cut Pro translates multiclips during media management or when exporting to a
project interchange file such as an EDL.
Working with Multiclips in the Media Manager
The Media Manager has an option to include all multiclip angles, so the media file for
every angle is processed. If you deselect this option, only the media file of the active angle
is processed. With multiclip sequences that use a lot of angles, deselecting this option
can significantly reduce the amount of media processed. By default, this option is not
selected, so only the media file for the active multiclip angle is processed.
