When you add a multicam clip to the Timeline, you create a direct and active Â
relationship between the “parent” multicam clip in the Event Browser and the “child”
multicam clip in the Timeline.

Parent multicam clip
When you open any multicam clip in the Angle Editor (whether from the Event Â
Browser or the Timeline) you are in fact opening the parent multicam clip from
the Event Browser. Any changes you make to a multicam clip in the Angle Editor
are inherited by all of its child clips, in all projects. These changes include sync or
trimming adjustments, clip speed retiming, video or audio eects such as color
correction, and added or deleted angles. For example, if you delete an angle from a
parent multicam clip, the angle is deleted from all child clips. For more information
about the Angle Editor, see “Sync and adjust angles and clips in the Angle Editor” on
page 371.
Multicam editing workow
The process for creating a multicam project is outlined below. The procedures are
presented in rough chronological order, but you can rearrange the order to suit
your workow.
Shoot an event with multiple cameras and record appropriate sync information
A multicamera shoot uses multiple cameras to record the same subject or event from
dierent angles and distances.
For multicam projects, it’s a good idea to set the date, the time, and the time zone
on your camcorder or recording device before you shoot footage for your multicam
project. This provides useful information to Final Cut Pro during the automatic
multicam clip creation process.
In professional multicamera shoots, each camcorder or VTR receives the same
timecode from a master timecode generator, or you can jam sync the timecode
generator of each camera at the beginning of the shoot. If you’re using consumer
camcorders, which cannot accept external timecode, you need to record a visible or
audible cue, such as a clapboard closing or a camera ash, on all cameras. You can use
this cue to synchronize the angles in your multicam clips.
