An edit is made to the multiclip at the current playhead location, separating it into two
multiclips. If you cut to the angle that was already active, a through edit is created.
If the Multiclip Playback option is turned on in the RT pop-up menu in the Timeline, you
can perform the same steps to cut in real time. For more information, see
