Example: Enable or disable audio components in a multicam clip
When you create a multicam clip that contains multiple audio components, you can use the
angle viewer or the Audio inspector to add audio components from inactive angles to the
active angle. This makes it easy to add audio from different source clips in your multicam
clip while maintaining the active video angle. You can also disable audio components from
the active angle to eliminate unwanted or unused audio.
Before you start, you can make adjustments to the channel configuration of audio
components in your source clips in the browser using the Audio inspector. See Configure
audio channels in Final Cut Pro.
1. In Final Cut Pro, drag a multicam clip from the browser to the timeline.
2. To open the angle viewer, do one of the following:
• Choose View > Show in Viewer > Angles (or press Shift-Command-7).
• Click the View pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the viewer and choose Angles
from the Show section.
The active angle appears highlighted in yellow.
3. To enable audio-only switching in the angle viewer, click the right switch mode button in
the upper-left corner.
4. If the inspector isn’t already shown, do one of the following:
• Choose Window > Show in Workspace > Inspector (or press Command-4).
• Click the Inspector button in the toolbar.
