Apple Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) - Manual (Page 331)

Chapter 11 Advanced editing 331
In the case of video-only or audio-only cuts and switches, the edit point can be mixed (with
both black and white dotted lines). For example, when you cut and switch video only, you see
a black dotted line for the video and a white dotted line for the audio.
Black dotted lines indicate that different
angles from the same multicam clip are
on either side of the edit point.
A white dotted line indicates
that the same angle is on
either side of the edit point.
•
When you move the pointer over a multicam through edit, the pointer changes to the Trim
tool, indicating that the edit will be a roll edit (because any other type of edit breaks the
relationship between the clips on either side of the cut and switch edit point in the Timeline).
•
Many edits (such as split edits, markers, connected clips, and retiming effects) remain in
place on a multicam clip in the Timeline even after you switch the angle. But certain editing
operations are associated directly with the specific angle and are not retained when you
switch angles:
•
Video and audio effects
•
Keyframing (including audio volume and panning)
•
Role assignments
