Manage role components in multicam clips
Every angle in a multicam clip creates a set of role components according to the subrole
assignments contained within the angle. For example, if there are five audio components in
angle A, but they’re all assigned to the Dialogue-1 subrole, Final Cut Pro displays a single
role component named Dialogue-1 for angle A. If the role assignments of clips inside an
angle change, the role components generated by that angle are updated automatically.
1. Select a multicam clip in the Final Cut Pro browser or timeline.
2. 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 on the right side of the toolbar.
3. Click the Audio button at the top of the inspector.
Tip: Double-click the top bar of the inspector to switch between half-height view
and full-height view.
4. Scroll down to the Audio Configuration section.
Note: You can drag the top edge of the Audio Configuration section to expand it and
reveal all of its contents.
The Audio Configuration section shows the role components for the active angle of
your multicam clip. Each role component is based on a subrole assigned to a clip in
the angle. You can’t change role assignments in this view. However, you can enable or
disable the audio from other angles by clicking their respective checkboxes.
As you cut and switch between angles in your multicam clip, the role components are
automatically enabled or disabled to match your edits.
