Automatically adjust the sync of a multicam clip
The instructions below describe two automatic methods for syncing angles in a multicam clip.
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. In the out-of-sync angle, click the pop-up menu to the right of the angle name and
choose one of the following:
• Sync to Monitoring Angle: This option opens a two-up display in the viewer, showing
the frame at the skimmer position on the left and the frame at the playhead position
of the monitoring angle on the right. In the out-of-sync angle, skim to a frame,
then click to sync the angle to the playhead position. All the clips in the angle move
together to align the frame you clicked with the playhead. To close the two-up
display in the viewer, click Done.
• Sync Angle to Monitoring Angle: This option compares the audio waveforms in the
selected angle to the waveforms in the monitoring angle, and then moves the clips in
the selected angle to sync them with those in the monitoring angle. This is the same
audio sync technology that you can use to automatically analyze and sync clips
together into a compound clip.
If you select clips in one or more angles before choosing this option, the command
name in the pop-up menu changes to Sync Selection to Monitoring Angle. When
you choose this option, Final Cut Pro moves all of the selected clips to sync them
with those in the monitoring angle. If there’s a selection in the monitoring angle, this
option is not available.
WARNING: This option does not ripple clips forward. If clips are moved to a timeline
location that’s already occupied by existing clips, the moved clips overwrite the
existing clips.
Note: Some audio recordings are not suited for use with this feature. Choosing this
option may result in long processing times during which Final Cut Pro is not available
for editing.
