Where are my camera angles in Final Cut?

Your edit used more than one camera, but Final Cut shows what looks like one kind of clip. The cameras are not missing. This is how Final Cut holds a multicam edit.

How the file holds your cameras

• Eddie writes every camera of the group into one multicam clip.
• Each cut in your timeline is that multicam clip, set to play the camera Eddie chose for that cut.
• The other cameras are inside the clip, not on their own tracks. The timeline shows one clip per cut.

How to see the cameras in Final Cut

1. Select a cut in the timeline.
2. Choose Window > Show in Workspace > Angles. The Angle Viewer shows every camera, and the active one is marked.
3. To switch a cut to another camera, click that camera in the Angle Viewer.
4. To see the whole multicam clip, select a cut and choose Clip > Open in Angle Editor.

The cut's name is the file of the camera it plays. A cut on a second camera has that camera's file name.

If a camera shows as missing

Eddie's file points at your camera files by name. If Final Cut cannot find a file, the cuts on that camera show as missing media. Choose File > Relink Files and point Final Cut at the folder that holds that camera's files. See Export to Premiere, Final Cut, Resolve, Avid & OTIO for how the file links your media.

If the cameras are still not there

Email hey@heyeddie.ai and tell us:

• The version of Final Cut you use.
• What a cut on the second camera shows: the second camera's name, a red missing-media screen, or the main camera.
• A screenshot of the Angle Viewer, if you can.
