Multi-Cam Jump Cut Hack

n NLE workflow technique that simulates a two-camera setup from a single source clip to efficiently create jump cuts. By placing the same clip on two angles within a multi-cam sequence and digitally punching in on one, an editor can rapidly switch between a wide and a tight shot, creating dynamic cuts without manually adjusting each clip's scale and position. This method centralizes the 'B-cam' look, allowing for global changes to the punched-in angle by adjusting the source multi-cam clip.
