Adding Angles to a Multiclip in the Viewer

Once you create a multiclip, you can add new angles or replace existing ones. If you
change your mind, you can undo these operations.

To insert a new angle into a multiclip:

1

Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.

2

Drag a clip from the Browser or Timeline to one of the multiclip angles displayed in
the Viewer.

3

Continue to hold down the mouse button until the Insert New Angle and Overwrite
Angle overlays appear in the Viewer.

Note: If you move the pointer over the active angle, only the Insert New Angle
overlay appears.

4

Move the pointer over the Insert New Angle overlay, then release the mouse button.

5

The dragged clip becomes a new angle in the multiclip, and all subsequent angle
numbers are incremented by one.

Tip: You can add more than one angle to a multiclip at once by dragging more than
one clip to the Viewer.

Drag a clip to an
angle, then choose
Insert New Angle.
