Summary

In this chapter, you learned that multicam editing is the process in Final Cut Pro that edits footage where multiple cameras have recorded the same subject or event from different angles and distances with the same audio source.

You also learned what types of events suit a multicam shoot and how those cameras can be set to film in synchronization. The settings for import and categorization were discussed, both with folders in the computer’s Finder and as keyword collections in Final Cut Pro.

Then, you learned how to create a new multicam clip and understood the difference between the multicam angle timeline and the multicam project. You learned what modifications are best actioned globally in the multicam angle timeline compared to the piecemeal corrections in the multicam project, and that modifications made globally are additive in the multicam project.

Next, you learned about setting up the angles for switching and how the cuts can be modified after switching...
