Creating a Multiclip
Once you have clips prepared, you can group them together into a multiclip.
To create a multiclip:
1
Assign angle numbers to each clip you want to include in your multiclip.

If you want to align your clips by In or Out points, open each clip in the Viewer and set
the appropriate In point or Out point.

Do one of the following:
 Choose Modify > Make Multiclip.
 Control-click one of the selected clips, then choose Make Multiclip from the
shortcut menu.
The Make Multiclip dialog appears, showing the angle order and relative media
alignment of the selected clips. If a clip’s Angle property is empty, Final Cut Pro looks at
the reel name or media filename to derive an angle number. See “
Numbers From Reel Names and Filenames
” on page 252 for more information.

Choose a synchronization method from the “Synchronize using” pop-up menu.
For more information about angle synchronization, see “

automatically assigned multiclip number). This number increments each time you
create a new multiclip. You can change the name of the multiclip at any time. For more
information about naming multiclips, see “
