Example: Add or remove audio components in a multicam clip
When you create a multicam clip that contains multiple audio components, you can use the
Angle Viewer or the Audio inspector to add audio components from inactive angles to the active
angle. This makes it easy to add audio from different source clips in your multicam clip while
maintaining the active video angle. You can also remove audio components from the active
angle to eliminate unwanted or unused audio.

Before you start, you can make adjustments to the channel configuration of audio components
in your source clips in the Event Browser using the Audio inspector. For more information, see

Configure audio channels

on page 169.
