7. If the multicam custom settings aren’t shown, click Use Custom Settings.
The custom 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.
8. Click the Angle Assembly pop-up menu and choose how the angles in the multicam clip
are created:
• Automatic: Final Cut Pro creates the angles automatically.
• Camera Angle: Final Cut Pro creates angles in the multicam clip based on the
Camera Angle property of the selected clips.
• Camera Name: Final Cut Pro creates angles in the multicam clip based on the
Camera Name property of the selected clips.
• Clips: Final Cut Pro creates a separate angle for each selected clip, using the Name
property in each clip to name the angle.
9. Click the Angle Clip Ordering pop-up menu and choose how angles are ordered within
the multicam clip:
• Automatic: Final Cut Pro orders the clips within each angle automatically. If there’s
more than one clip per angle, Final Cut Pro inserts gap clips between the clips, as
needed, to achieve the correct timing and spacing.
• Timecode: Final Cut Pro orders the clips within each angle using timecode recorded
in the clips. If you recorded timecode in your clips, choose this option. It’s the
fastest and most frame-accurate method of ordering clips.
• Content Created: Final Cut Pro orders the clips within each angle using the date and
time information recorded by your camcorder or video recording device.
The Content Created method can position clips within 1-second accuracy (because
in most camcorders the smallest unit in date and time information is 1 second). If
you choose this clip-ordering method, consider making your multicam clip frame-
accurate by selecting “Use audio for synchronization” (described in step 6) or
manually syncing your angles in the angle editor.
