526Final Cut Pro User Guide
In the case of video-only or audio-only cuts and switches, the edit point can be mixed
(with both gray and white dotted lines). For example, when you cut and switch video
only, you see a gray dotted line for the video and a white dotted line for the audio.
• When you move the pointer over a multicam through edit, the pointer changes to the
Trim tool, indicating that the edit will be a roll edit (because any other type of edit
breaks the relationship between the clips on either side of the cut and switch edit point
in the timeline).
• Many edits (such as split edits, markers, connected clips, and retiming effects) remain
in place on a multicam clip in the timeline even after you switch the angle. However, the
following editing operations are associated directly with the specific angle and are not
retained when you switch angles:
• Video and audio effects
• Keyframing (including audio volume and panning)
• Role assignments
Switch angles in the timeline
1. In the Final Cut Pro timeline, Control-click the multicam clip you want to switch.
2. Do one of the following:
• Switch the video angle: Choose Active Video Angle, then choose the angle you want
to switch to.
• Switch the audio angle: Choose Active Audio Angle, then choose the angle you want
to switch to.
The clip switches to the video or audio angle you chose.
