Multicam Controls in the Source Viewer
The Source Viewer, in Multicam mode, has four sets of controls that let you set up and execute
multicam editing.
The Source Viewer showing Multicam switching controls
Multicam Angle buttons: Each multicam angle displayed in the Source Viewer is a
button that lists the angle name underneath. Clicking any of these buttons inserts a cut
and switches the angle of the next clip, while Option-clicking changes the angle of the
clip at the position of the playhead without adding a cut.
Audio/Video Selection buttons: Clicking any of these buttons inserts a cut and
switches the angle of the next clip, while Option-clicking changes the angle of the clip
at the position of the playhead without adding a cut.
Multicam display drop-down: Lets you choose how many angles to view while
switching. Depending on your workstation’s performance, reducing the number of
angles can improve playback performance while you edit. You can choose from a grid
of 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 angles to view.
Multicam Page buttons: If there are more angles within the multicam clip intersecting
the playhead in the Timeline than the Multicam Viewer is set to show (via the multicam
display drop-down), then page controls appear that let you choose which set of angles
you want to view. Click any dot to jump to that page of angles, or click the arrows to
move among next/previous sets of angles.
Multicam Keyboard Controls
There’s also a full set of keyboard shortcuts that can be used for multicam editing.
Multicam Cut: (Clip > Multicam Cut submenu) Pressing the 1 through 9 number keys
performs a cut-and-switch operation, the same as if you’d clicked on an angle button of
a multicam clip in the Source Viewer.
Multicam Switch: (Clip > Multicam Switch submenu) Pressing Option-1 through 9
performs a switch operation, the same as if you’d Option-clicked an angle button of a
multicam clip in the Source Viewer.
