Watching Two Clips at Once While Editing. Is it Possible?

I'm currently working on a project that involves editing and publishing a 2 hour play to a DVD. The play was filmed with 2 cameras at 2 different angles. One camera stayed back for wide shots for most of the time, while the other camera got close ups. So obviously, I want to switch from camera to camera, depending on what's going on.

So here's the question... Is It possible to watch two clips at the same time on Final Cut Pro?

As I move my cursor along the timeline, and I have a video on the timeline with the other right on top, can I watch both at the same time? It would make deciding when to go with which camera so much easier.

Thanks!

Ricky,
As Tom says, create a Multi-cam clip, and then open the Angle viewer. You will see both angles, plus audio and can switch between them easily by clicking on any angle or using the number keys. Easy and fast.

Hope this helps, Greg
