View and navigate banks of angles
Depending on the Angle Viewer display setting you choose, you can show 2, 4, 9, or 16 angles at
once. These sets of angles are known as banks. The bank switcher in Final Cut Pro is an efficient
tool for displaying and navigating banks of angles in a multicam clip.
1 To open the Angle Viewer, choose Window > Viewer Display > Show Angles (or press
Command-Shift-7).
2 Position the skimmer or the playhead over a multicam clip in the Event Browser or the Timeline.
The bank switcher appears as a grid of squares at the bottom of the Angle Viewer. Yellow, blue, or
green highlighting indicates the currently active angle.
The bank switcher shows
the number of angles
and which is active.
