3 cam Multicam 8 channel external audio

I am looking to do a multicam edit which involves pulling up some pauses and talent flubs. I would also like to slave along the 8 seperate channels of audio that is slate synced. What I would like in the end is my multicam edit and 8 channels of audio (which includes any pull ups I did in the video with the audio still in sync. Then edit in Audition and then replace the 8 channels with the stereo mix from the audition session.
I can't seem to find a way to do this. I tried merging the 8 channels with all of the video clips before I set the multicam buit that did not work either. Any help would be aprreciatted.

I'm bumping this thread and expanding on it a bit.
I really like how Premiere treats a multicam like a nest. I can move the pieces around if I didn't quite get the sync right and I can even add effects and color correction (though it's best to turn these off when actually trying to edit!). I can even do all of these things to the nest at any point after I've started editing it in a sequence. Very cool and useful!
But multitrack audio still has me baffled. I can send the multiclip nest to Audition and mix down the audio there. And I can do this at any point in the edit process. I can turn on multiple audio tracks in the nest and they appear muxed in the sequence (understandable but unhelpful). But the only way I can manage to send all of the tracks to Audition as multitrack from the edited sequence is (like I said above) to add each of the audio tracks and manually sync them up. This essentially makes the multcam a "video only" multicam.
Is this correct? Or is there a better workflow?

Multicam and external audio workflow ?

Gents,
I'm starting a new project and for the first time I have to combine footage from two cameras and an external audio recorder, I just need few hints about the correct workflow to make sure I won't waste time with wrong methods. The event is about 1 hour long (wedding).
CamA has almost the full event, divided in 3 large files (fixed camera, rec always on, divided in 3 because of 29 minutes per clip limitations in EU), I used CamA to fill the gaps between CamB clips.
CamB has more than a hundred clips
Both cam A & B have internal recording but I also recorded the entire event with an external recorder, creating a single .mp3 file.
I need to create a 20/25 minutes video,
What is the best workflow to sync Cam B clips with Cam A ? How would you work with two camera files and the external audio as main and only good audio ?
Thanks

It doesn't look as though the audio file synced with the other angles.
Open the multiclip in the angle editor from the event broswer. Is the external audio present?

Best way to sync 3 angles without external audio?

Just installed FCP X today — coming off of FCE 4, so I have lots of learning to do, but am liking it so far.
My first editing project is a concert of Bach's music I shot on Canon dSLRs a couple months ago. We had three angles, and while I will eventually be getting a copy of the professionally-recorded sound from the concert, I only have my on-camera audio to work with right now.
So my question is, how does one go about using the syncronization feature to sync three camera angles, without having external audio?
Each camera has several clips for the whole concert (because of record time limits). I was able to sync up the first clip from each angle by extracting the audio from one angle, importing it as a file, and using it as the sync reference, but there doesn't seem to be a way to add and build onto the syncronized clip (i.e., adding another extracted audio file and syncing it with previously synced footage). Perhaps I'm missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help!

And, yes, I did search the forum before hand.
Oh, and another thing I should mention:
My DSLR (canon 5d Mark 2) Actually records the DATE and the TIME of when I hit the record button. This is located under the "Date Created" meta data which is viewable in the windows media browser(explorer). AND, it also says "Date Modified" to indicate when I stopped recording. This is very useful,
but is this a good way I can multiple cams synced in time?
Thanks!

Multicam with external audio. Audio disappears on timeline

I'm doing what I've done a hundred times before: Two cameras, external audio.
But this time I'm doing it under Mavericks. Hmmmmmm.
1. select cam-a, cam-b and audio track, make multicam file.
2. double click to reveal on screen. Everything's fine, you can see waveforms, plays...everything's normal.
3. Open New Project on timeline.
4. hit "e" to advance multileg file to the timeline.
5. No external audio. It's there in the angle editor, but no waveform, no sound.
I've looked at everything I can think of. Stumped......thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

What device?
What format?
How are you importing it?
Can you find the external audio with Finder?
Where is your destination file when you import it?

Synching External Audio Source. TC In/Out of Camera?

A guy I know wants to record 6 seperate channles of audio on an external deck and somehow have it synched with timecode to the video on his camera. The camera is an HVX200. Is there a way to get the timecode of the video to match the timecode of the audio so it's easy to synch in FCP?
What kind of equipment is needed for this. Is it audio side or video side that generates the code?
I'm not so up on my external audio. Thanks in advance.

What was the question?
Your choice of recording system is critical, you'll need timecode and RS232 or 422 control. Suggest you find an FCP operator locally who has had success with mutlitrack sources.
If you have more specific questions, post 'em.
page 294 of volume 1:
Capturing Audio From an Audio Deck Using Device Control
Final Cut Pro allows you to capture audio from a device-controllable audio deck such as
a professional DAT (digital audio tape) decks or a digital multitrack recorder. This is
mainly useful when capturing audio that was acquired via dual system recording, in
which video and audio were recorded simultaneously to different devices.
As with capturing video, your audio tapes must have timecode recorded on them or
you cannot set In and Out points for capture. Audio decks may be controllable if they
use one of the standard device control protocols (typically, RS-422) supported by
Final Cut Pro.
If you’re planning to capture dual system audio using device control, make sure that your
audio deck is genlocked with the audio or video interface you are using for capture. For
more information on connecting a device-controllable audio deck to your computer, see
“Connecting Audio Devices” on page 204. For more information on capturing
synchronized audio, see Volume IV, Chapter 24, “Capture Settings and Presets.”
page 296:
If you are editing material acquired via dual system recording, meaning that video and
audio are recorded simultaneously to different devices, you need to capture your audio
and video separately and then synchronize them together in Final Cut Pro. After
capturing, you can combine the corresponding video and audio clips into a merged
clip. Merged clips work in the same way as other clips in Final Cut Pro, but they refer to
separate video and audio media files (whereas most other clips, such as clips captured
from DV tape, refer only to a single media file that contains both video and audio). For
more information about merged clips, see Volume II, Chapter 3, “Merging Clips From
Dual System Video and Audio.”

Canon XL1s DV Camera – Utilising 4 channels of recorded audio in PE8

Hi,
I have created a number of interviews using the Canon XL1s and have chosen on the camera to record 4 channels of audio (2x stereo). The first audio pair utilizes a stereo microphone mounted on top of the camera. The second audio pair is connected via the cameras auxiliary XLR connectors to 2x radio mics. If I play the recording back on the camera I can hear all four channels. When I upload via fire-wire into PE8 I can only hear (and see) the first pair of channels and cannot find the second ones anywhere… Is this a limitation of PE8, or have I missed something…
All suggestions gratefully received..

Neville,
You are correct, in that PrE cannot Capture the second stereo-pair, i.e. channels 3 & 4. This is a limitation in both PrE and PrPro too.
For SD material, most folk recommend SceneAlyzer as a Capture program. For HD, HDVSplit is the recommended Capture program. Many feel that these are the Capture modules, that SHOULD have been incorporated in both Adobe NLE's.
The 4 Audio channels are the problem. IIRC, there is also a Canon Capture program, usually shipped with the camera (some Sony's also have 4-channel Audio), and it will bring in the Video and all 4 channels. Not sure of the name, but I do recall mention being made of it.
For some background on the XL1's 4-channel Audio, you might want to search the PrPro forum, as this has been discussed in several threads in the past. You will find a lot more detail, than my feeble memory allows me to share with you.
Good luck,
Hunt

My external audio recording device only records to the right channel. How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

My external audio recording device only records to the right channel. How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one. How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

Only one channel of audio recorded with external USB audio interface on DV6604nr

I only get on channel of audio when i hookup my Behringer UCA202 to my dv6604nr
vista 32 sp2 . The Behringer takes analog 2 channel audio and converts it to a digital signal.
This is using the Audacity software. The hardware and software check fine, though i tested them with an xp system.
Are there trouble shooting tips for these issues. I've updated the Audacity software and the usb drivers say their up to date. (?)

Come on... It's just like a usb turntable, only a little better quality. What steps would you use to troubleshoot one of those?

I need 4 channels of audio in MXF OP 1a

I am using Premiere CS6. I am exporting to MXF OP 1A, ticking the 4 channels of audio. However channels 3 & 4 come out empty.
The broadcastying station needs them full.
I read somewhere else in the forum that you have to enable the master track??? But can't seem to do this.
Can anyone help?

Not sure if your problem has been solved , but Jim seemed have already posted the correct answer. But I still want to post my idea here. I also have some mxf files with multi-track audios. Because I shot them with an external mic. I am nor sure if adobe can keep them well , so I use other app called imixmxf to convert them seperately , then load them into adobe. My camera is Canon , and I plan to go to Sony for my next camera.

Why does my nested sequence have only one channel of audio?

Hi,
Working in Prem Pro CC on my Mac Pro.
I have a number of interviews, each shot with 3 cameras and with audio from a separate audio recorder. The audio has two channels, Ch1 has the boom mic and Ch2 a radio mic.
I created a sequence, placed the audio into channels 1 & 2 (they are linked) before placing the video tracks onto timeline tracks 1-3. Everything's synced nicely and so I nested the shots and then I enabled multicam on the nested sequence.
However, now when I edit the nested sequence into my edit sequence, it has only one channel of audio. I tried Modify>Audio Channels but within that page, in the option to select 'Source Channels' the options are "None" and "Channel 1".
How do I get my nested sequence to place both audio channels into my edit sequence?
Any help much appreciated.

Nevermind folks, I figured it out. I had my render control settings set to Apple Pro Res on some timelines.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony PMW 320
When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?
I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

Can I select an external audio source?

I have iMovie09 ver 8.0.6. I'm using a Panasonic video camera (it uses miniDV tapes) connected to my MacBook (white plastic 07) via firewire. When I have the cable from the mixer going into the camera and recording to tape; when I transfer the tape to MacBook, I get the external audio source great!!! However, when I plug the cable directly into the MacBook, it still gives me the audio (BUT) from the built-in mic of the camera. When I open GarabeBand and record the audio, its the external and its great. However, I don't want to have both recording at the same time only to overlay the GarageBand audio onto the video clip. Yes, I've selected the 'in-line' option from 'System Preferences'.
Is there a way that I can select the external source while in iMovie?? Looking at some other negative posts, I don't want to upgrade to iMovie 11 either.

I came across a much older post which I believe solved my issue. I connected everything up first, then booted up the MacBook; then I selected 'built-in audio' from the 'voice-over' option within iMovie. It recognized it right immediately. However, now I'm not sure that the audio is in fact coming from the 'hot' microphones that I'm receiving from the mixer. But that's just troubleshooting.

Live Capture with a camera via firewire and usb audio interface

I am trying to do a live capture through Final Cut 7.
I want the video feed through the firewire from my HVX200 and the audio feed from a 4 channel usb audio interface (Alesis iO4).
When I have both audio and video input coming in from the HVX200, the live capture works fine.
However, when I change the audio input so that it is coming from the usb audio interface, final cut has an error message saying "Video is not available."
During the preview, I see the video clearly and am getting levels from the iO4.
But when I try to capture, I get the error message.
Is it a processor issue (I've attached my specs below) with problems handling 2 separate inputs?
I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi MtD,
Yes I am changing the Capture preset to iO4. Once that happens, it lets me run both the camera and the iO4 into the laptop but then an error message pops up the moment I try to capture it.
I was only trying to use 3 out of the 4 channels of the iO4.
Thanks!

Multi channel firewire audio interface

Hello, Is anyone using a multi channel firewire audio interface with a mac mini? eg alesis miltimix?

No issues. You'll probably want to invest in an external 7,200 RPM Firewire drive though since the Mini only has a 5,400 RPM SATA internal drive.
I used it with both TIger and Leopard as well as Logic Express 7.2 and Logic Express 8.
OS X supports it right out of the box so I didn't even need to install additional drivers.
