Create a multicam clip automatically
1. In the Final Cut Pro browser, select the clips you want to include in the multicam clip.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose File > New > Multicam Clip.
• Control-click the selection and choose New Multicam Clip.
3. If the multicam automatic settings aren’t shown in the window that appears, click Use
Automatic Settings in the lower-left corner of the window.
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.
4. Type a name for the multicam clip in the Multicam Clip Name field.
5. Click the In Event pop-up menu and choose the event in which you want to create the
new multicam clip.
6. If you want the multicam clip’s timecode to start at a value other than the earliest
timecode value in the selected clips (the default), type a timecode value in the Starting
Timecode field.
7. 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.
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.
8. Click OK.
