You can then drag the clips left or right to move them all by the same amount.
When all clips in the angle
are selected, you can drag
them all at once.
Automatically adjust the synchronization of a multicam clip
The instructions below describe two automatic methods for synchronizing angles in a
multicam clip.
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 In the out-of-sync angle, click the pop-up menu to the right of the angle name and choose one
of the following:
•
Sync to Monitoring Angle: This option opens a two-up display in the Viewer, showing the frame
at the skimmer position on the left and the frame at the playhead position of the monitoring
angle on the right. In the out-of-sync angle, skim to a frame and click to sync the angle to the
playhead position. All the clips in the angle move together to align the frame you clicked with
the playhead. To close the two-up display in the Viewer, click Done.
•
Sync Angle to Monitoring Angle: This option compares the audio waveforms in the selected
angle to the waveforms in the monitoring angle, and then moves the clips in the selected
angle to synchronize them with those in the monitoring angle. This is the same audio
sync technology that you can use to automatically analyze and sync clips together into a
compound clip.
If you select clips in one or more angles before choosing this option, the command name
in the pop-up menu changes to Sync Selection to Monitoring Angle. When you choose this
option, Final Cut Pro moves all of the selected clips to synchronize them with those in the
monitoring angle. If there is a selection in the monitoring angle, this option is not available.
WARNING: This option does not ripple clips forward. If clips are moved to a Timeline location
that is already occupied by existing clips, the moved clips overwrite the existing clips.
Note: Some audio recordings are not suited for use with this feature. Choosing this option
may result in long processing times during which Final Cut Pro is not available for editing.
