You can also copy and paste clips in the angle editor. Clips are pasted sequentially as
overwrite edits, and in the monitoring angle only.
To close the angle editor and return to the timeline, choose View > Timeline History Back,
or press Command-Left Bracket ([).
Edit multicam clips in Final Cut Pro
You can switch multicam clip angles directly in the timeline or the Info inspector, without
having to open the angle viewer.
Multicam clips generally function just like standard clips in the timeline. You can add video
and audio effects, transitions, and markers; attach connected clips; and apply retiming
effects. You can apply split edits to multicam clips and edit them in the precision editor.
You can nest multicam clips in compound clips and storylines.
However, multicam clips do have some unique characteristics in the Final Cut Pro timeline:
• You can display the names of the active video angle and the active audio angle in the
multicam clip.
• Cut and switch edit points appear as dotted lines. These are through edits (in which
the video or audio content on either side of the edit point is continuous). In the case of
multicam editing, through edits indicate that the content on either side of the edit point
comes from the same multicam clip. A gray dotted line indicates that different angles
from the same multicam clip are on either side of the edit point. A white dotted line
indicates that the same angle is on either side of the edit point.
