The monitoring settings do not affect any of your active angles. They simply change what is
playing back in the Viewer while you’re working in the Angle Editor.
Tip: You can use audio monitoring to double-check the synchronization of individual angles
in a multicam clip. Open the clip in the Angle Editor, and turn on audio monitoring for two or
more angles at a time. You will hear immediately if the angles are in sync or if you need to adjust
them further.
Manually adjust the synchronization of a multicam clip
A primary function of the Angle Editor is to provide an easy way to correct out-of-sync angles in
your multicam clips. The instructions below describe how to synchronize angles by locating sync
points and then manually dragging them into alignment.
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 Locate a sync point in one of the out-of-sync angles by skimming the angle in the Angle Editor.
As you skim, the angle is displayed in the left side of the Viewer (in place of the Angle Viewer).
The sync points could be video or audio cues (such as a clapboard closing or a door slam).
3 Locate the corresponding sync point in one or more angles that you want to synchronize to the
original angle.
To simplify this process, you can add markers at the sync points, to guide you visually and to
provide snap points.
