Set video and audio monitoring in the Angle Editor
In the Angle Editor, you can set any one angle to be the monitoring angle. This is the angle
you see in the Viewer when the multicam clip is playing back in the Angle Editor. You can also
monitor the audio of any number of angles at once.
You use the monitoring angle to synchronize angles in the Angle Editor. The monitoring angle
is not the same thing as the active angle (which you see in the Timeline). You cannot cut and
switch between angles in the Angle Editor.
Note: Setting the correct monitoring angle is important for the two synchronization commands
described later in this section: Sync to Monitoring Angle and Sync Angle to Monitoring Angle.
1 To open the Angle Editor, do one of the following:
•
Double-click a multicam clip in the Event Browser.
•
Control-click a multicam clip in the Event Browser or the Timeline and choose Open in Angle
Editor from the shortcut menu.
2 To set an angle as the monitoring angle, do any of the following:
•
Click the Video Monitor icon at the left side of the angle.
•
Choose Set Monitoring Angle from the pop-up menu next to the angle name.
•
Press Shift-V while skimming the angle.
The Video Monitor icon turns white, and the entire angle is highlighted in light gray. The angle
plays in the Viewer when you play back the multicam clip in the Angle Editor. Only one angle can
be the video monitoring angle at a time.
Click to set the monitoring angle.
