If you know what kind of metadata your multicam media has, you can create
multicam clips using manual methods faster than with the automatic methods. The
automatic methods use sophisticated automatic audio sync technology to ensure
synchronization accuracy (but at the expense of processing time). It’s best to turn o
the “Use audio for synchronization” feature when it’s not needed. For example, if you’ve
recorded accurate timecode in every clip, Final Cut Pro can create your multicam clip
automatically without the audio sync feature.
Create a multicam clip automatically
1 In the Event Browser, select the clips you want to include in the multicam clip.
2 Do one of the following:
Choose File > New Multicam Clip. Â
Control-click the selection and choose New Multicam Clip from the shortcut menu. Â
3 In the window that appears, type a name for the multicam clip in the Name eld.
4 If the multicam automatic settings are not shown, click Use Automatic Settings.
The multicam automatic settings appear.
Note: The automatic settings are shown by default, but if the last multicam clip you
created used custom settings, those settings are shown.
5 To sync angles automatically using audio waveform data, select “Use audio for
synchronization.”
This option makes precision sync adjustments using audio waveforms in each angle.
This is the same audio sync technology that you can use to automatically sync clips
together into a compound clip.
Sync point
Note: Some audio recordings are not suited for use with this feature. Selecting this
option may result in long processing times during which Final Cut Pro is not available
for editing.
6 Click OK.
