3. To turn on audio monitoring for an angle, do one of the following:
• Click the Audio Monitor button once. (To turn off audio monitoring, click the button
again.)
• Click the pop-up menu next to the angle name and choose Monitor Audio. (To turn
off audio monitoring, choose Monitor Audio again.)
• Press Shift-A while skimming the angle. (To turn off audio monitoring, press Shift-A
again.)
The monitoring settings don’t affect any of your active angles. They simply change what’s
playing back in the viewer while you’re working in the angle editor.
Tip: You can use audio monitoring to double-check the sync of individual angles in a
multicam clip. Open the clip in the angle editor, then turn on audio monitoring for two or
more angles at a time. You’ll hear immediately if the angles are in sync or if you need to
adjust them further.
Manually adjust the sync of a multicam clip
A primary function of the angle editor is to provide an easy way to correct out-of-sync
angles in your multicam clips. The instructions below describe how to sync angles by
locating sync points and then manually dragging the angles into alignment.
1. To open the Final Cut Pro angle editor, do one of the following:
• Double-click a multicam clip in the browser.
• Control-click a multicam clip in the browser or the timeline, then choose Open in
Angle Editor.
2. Locate a sync point in one of the out-of-sync angles by skimming the angle in the angle
editor.
As you skim, the angle is displayed in the left side of the viewer (in place of the angle
viewer). The sync points could be video or audio cues (such as a clapboard closing or a
door slam).
