In a multicam edit, which view must be enabled to switch angles in real time?

• A. Multi-Camera view in the Program Monitor
• B. Source Monitor
• C. Audio Meters panel
• D. Timeline panel

Answer: (A)

Angle switching during a multicam edit happens in the Program Monitor when the Multi-Camera view is enabled. This view shows all camera angles for the multicam clip and lets you switch the active angle in real time by clicking an angle in the display or pressing the corresponding number key during playback. The Source Monitor is for reviewing individual source clips before they’re added to the timeline, the Audio Meters panel only shows audio levels, and the Timeline panel is where clips are arranged—none of these provide the live multicam angle-switching interface. To enable the ability to switch angles, turn on Multi-Camera View in the Program Monitor (use the wrench/settings menu).
