As you move the pointer over the angles in the angle viewer, the pointer changes to the

In the timeline, the current multicam clip is cut at the playhead position. The section

with the angle you clicked as the active angle. A special through edit point appears
at the timeline playhead position. See
Edit multicam clips in Final Cut Pro.

key, indicating a switch-only edit.
In the timeline, the multicam clip under the playhead changes to show the angle you
switched to as the active angle.
The viewer switches to the angle you selected. The active angle is highlighted in yellow,
blue, or green, depending on the switch mode you’re using. See Switch video or audio
separately, below.
