About Multiclips
A multiclip is a set of clips grouped together and synchronized by a common sync
frame. Each clip in a multiclip is known as an angle, and you can switch between angles
as necessary. The angle whose video and audio is seen and heard when you play your
sequence is called the active angle.
Multiclips can be used to edit footage from multicamera shoots or other synchronized
footage in real time. For example, if you shot a live concert with four different cameras,
you can synchronize the angles together into a single multiclip and cut between them
in real time.
