Cut and switch camera angles in Final Cut Pro
After you create a multicam clip, you can watch all angles simultaneously in the angle
viewer while switching or cutting to different angles in real time. This allows you to cut an
entire movie as if it were live, and then fine-tune your edits in the timeline just as you would
for any other project.
The angle viewer is both a display and an interactive interface for making quick cut and
switch decisions as you play back your multicam clips and projects. Angles appear in banks
of 2, 4, 9, or 16 angles.
