Using Match Frame in MultiCamera Editing
You can use the Match Frame button to display the matching clip within the group when match
framing from the sequence, or you can display the original clip when match framing from the
source group. For more information on using the Match Frame feature, see “Using Match
Frame” on page 546.

If the group contains more clips than are displayed and you match a clip that is not visible (for
example, clip 5 and above for the Quad Split display), your Avid editing application selects the
clip but does not display it.
Committing MultiCamera Edits
You can remove the grouped clips in a sequence and replace each of them with its selected clip.
This might be useful if you experience poor performance with a very complex multicamera
sequence on a slower system, for example, a sequence that uses many multicamera clips and
many effects or color corrections.
To commit multicamera edits:
1. Select the sequence you want to affect.
2. Right-click the sequence and select Commit Multicam Edits.
Your Avid editing application duplicates the sequence, and then replaces each grouped clip
in the duplicate sequence with its selected clip. The original sequence is unaffected and still
contains the grouped clips.
Selective Camera Cutting
Selective camera cutting involves marking and editing source material into the sequence, much
as you build a sequence by using nongrouped clips in a normal session. You can play, cue, and
mark clips on the source side, and then splice, overwrite, and trim clips in the sequence.
To perform selective camera cutting, do one of the following:
t Lay down an entire group as a master sequence, and then add edits, switch camera angles,
and trim within the sequence or cut in new clips.
t Edit one clip at a time without laying down a master sequence first, effectively building a
sequence as you would with single-camera material.
The advantage of selective camera cutting with grouped clips is that all the clips are
synchronized, which simplifies the selection of camera angles. Selective camera cutting
generally requires the use of a detailed line script or detailed notes that enable you to select
clips and assemble the sequence one clip at a time.
