When Should You Use the Make Multiclip Sequence Command?

You may want to use the Make Multiclip Sequence command in the following
situations:

 Whenever you have a large number of clips or subclips that you want to make

into multiclips.

 If you have footage from a professional multicamera production, in which all tapes

recorded matching timecode from a master timecode generator.

 If you have footage in which all the tapes begin with matching timecode, but some

camcorders recorded continuously while others stopped and started. As long as
events occur on each tape at the same timecode number, you can use the Make
Multiclip Sequence command.

Important:

If you shot an event with camcorders that were not recording

simultaneous identical timecode, you should use the Make Multiclip command and
use In or Out points to visually synchronize each camera angle. For more information,
see “

Creating Individual Multiclips

” on page 247.
