    I’ve recorded a basketball game with a few cameras. One is pointed at the scoreboard. I’m able to sync all the cameras and switch between them without problem. I’d like to keep the synced scoreboard in a little box in the corner while switching the angles of all the other cameras. I’ve searched for video tutorials about how to do this, but can find none. Is this possible? How, if so?

    There is no way to switch video angles and also keep a specific angle in the same multicam clip hot at all times. Just overlay the scoreboard clip once you’ve done your multicam cut, and scale/position as desired.

    Finish editing the game. Then duplicate the first clip in the timeline above itself (opt-drag). Change that clips angle to the scoreboard. Drag its tail to the end of your edit. Resize and position as needed. This way you keep everything in sync. Yes, the scoreboard will need to be a resized clip above the multicam edits.

    Thank you both for offering these solutions. I will give them both a go.
