Multicam iPhone
I’m editing a three camera panel discussion I shot by myself. I used my iPhone as an audience reaction camera. When the multicam finished processing each shot of the iPhone came up as a different angle even though I had designated all as Camera 3.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

That’s odd. Could be that only one of the clips took the change in the inspector… I’d select the clips one at a time in the browser and make sure that actually got set. You’ll need the General or Extended panels in Inspector to see the ‘Camera Angle’ entry field – ‘Camera Name’ may not be sufficient.
Aside from that, what are the rogue angles named in the multicam clip?

I wonder if the time codes are all the same for some reason?
I mean start timecode.

Definitely a possibility, though I’d like to think FCP would take TOD into account. And then you’d have to override the default sync via audio.
If you’re syncing angles by audio, TC wouldn’t matter. That’s why I was thinking it’d be an angle designation in the inspector.

Yes, for multicam sync with audio, you must give all the shots from the same camera a camera name and angle number so they match each other. Each camera, all its clips need the same camera name and angle number. Or FCPX won’t know they belong together and it’ll get messy.
