Summary

This chapter looked at a variety of high-level ways to swap out one clip for another. With the best planning and careful shooting, you can capture multiple angles at once, and then switch between them on the timeline for a simpler, more flexible editing experience. With or without Multicam, you can present your clients with extra options on the timeline, either through simple visibility toggles, full clip replacement, or the more powerful and more complex Auditions.

If these high-level solutions don't give you enough flexibility, then there are tricks you can use to give you more, and we'll cover these in the next chapter. There, you'll learn how to throw your media into Compound Clips early in the process, grouping parts of a timeline into their own little bubbles and making revisions easier. You'll also discover the lower-level Relink feature, see how to navigate in new and useful ways, and make sure that the client review is a simple, error-free process...
