# Multicam Media

## Multicam Media

Multicam Media Assemble angles from a multi-camera shooting as a unit.

Overview

A multicam media describes a collection of angles shot at the same time from multiple angles. Assemble footages synchronized in time from multiple cameras, or angles, using the `multicam` element. The `mc-angle` element describes the construction of each angle.

| Multicam Media Elements | Attributes | | --- | --- | | `multicam` | A root container for angles of related media, organized as `mc-angle` elements. | | `mc-angle` | A container of story elements organized sequentially in time. |

> Note >  FCPXML 1.1 added support for multicam editing to manage media from multiple cameras or other synchronized footage.

The `multicam` element appears as a child element under a `media` element (as a resource reference). A `multicam` element contains one or more `mc-angle` elements that each manage a series of other story elements.

The code listing below shows a multicam definition with two angle definitions, `a1` and `a2`:

```swift <resources>    <media id="r1" name="MyMulticamClip">       <multicam format="r2">          <mc-angle name="MyMovie1" angleID="a1">             <asset-clip name="MyMovie1" offset="0s" ref="r3" duration="10s" audioRole="dialogue" />          </mc-angle>          <mc-angle name="MyMovie2" angleID="a2">             <asset-clip name="MyMovie2" offset="0s" ref="r4" duration="20s" audioRole="dialogue" />          </mc-angle>       </multicam>    </media>    <format id="r2" name="FFVideoFormat1080p30" />    <asset id="r3" name="MyMovie1" src="file:///Volumes/Media/MyMovie1.mov" start="0s" duration="10s" hasVideo="1" format="r2" hasAudio="1" audioSources="1" audioChannels="2" audioRate="48000" />    <asset id="r4" name="MyMovie2" src="file:///Volumes/Media/MyMovie2.mov" start="0s" duration="20s" hasVideo="1" format="r2" hasAudio="1" audioSources="1" audioChannels="2" audioRate="48000" /> </resources>  ```

> Note >  Starting in FCPXML 1.4, specify visual adjustments on a multicam clip on individual angles instead of the entire clip.
