Multicam highlights

Two cameras of one scene switched at camera B's shot boundaries, with the dense segment picked by the transcript's silences.

What the manifest gives it

cam-b has shots at 0, 10, 25 and 40 s; cam-a has the transcript and its silences. Cuts take seconds.

What the file shows

• <Multicam> on a free track places the cuts at their absolute times; the resolver generates one clip per cut.
• multicam/flatten writes the generated clips as literal <Clip>s once the switching is settled.
• The pull quote between the first long pause and the second is kept on a hidden track as a reference.

/**

 * transcript's silences on camera A and kept on a hidden track as a
 * reference for the next pass.

What the editor can do

• Move a cut: at changes, the previous clip shortens, the next lengthens.
• Flatten, then trim and reorder the clips like any other.

What to check

• No lint warnings expected.
• captureSheet([2, 12, 27]): camera A, camera B, camera A again.
