Viewing Multiclip Overlays

You can display information about each angle in a multiclip by turning on multiclip
overlays in the Viewer.

The following information appears when you turn on multiclip overlays:

• Angle number

• Angle’s clip name

• Timecode number for each angle frame currently displayed in the Viewer

Note: The current timecode number is always the clip’s source timecode.

To turn on multiclip overlays in the Viewer

µ

Choose Show Multiclip Overlays from the View pop-up menu.

Multiclip overlays are only visible during scrubbing, not during playback.

Note: Title safe and standard timecode overlays are not available when a multiclip is open
in the Viewer.

Rearranging and Deleting Multiclip Angles in the Viewer

After you create a multiclip, you can rearrange the order of the angles in the Viewer or
delete angles you don’t want. However, you cannot overwrite or delete the active angle.

Important:

These operations change the angle structure of the multiclip, which breaks

the multiclip master-affiliate relationships. For more information, see

“Working with

Multiclip Master-Affiliate Relationships.”

To move an angle to a different position in a multiclip

1

Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
