Multicam: syncing and switching angles

Eddie automatically groups and syncs multicam angles from the same shoot, then lets you switch between them by prompting — for example asking it to cut to the wide shot on a key line.

When you import footage from several cameras of the same moment, Eddie recognizes it as a multicam group, syncs the angles, and lets you cut between them.

How syncing works

Eddie aligns angles by their audio so every camera shares one timeline. Once synced, switching angles never drifts out of sync.

Switch angles by prompting

  • "Cut to the wide shot when the guest starts talking."

  • "Use the close-up for the punchlines, wide for everything else."

  • "Switch angle every time the speaker changes."

Check and fix grouping

If two cameras weren't grouped (or the wrong clips were), you can tell Eddie: "these two clips are the same multicam group." When you add media to a project, new multicam imports stay in their own group rather than merging into an existing one.

Export

Multicam exports differ by editor:

  • Final Cut preserves the angles.

  • Premiere receives the angles stacked on the timeline — the chosen angle on top, alternates below with their audio muted.

See Export to your editor for the full matrix.
