Changing Audio Tracks in Multicam

I have a multicam project that I am done editing.Now that I am finished with the cutting, I realize that the audio I was using is from the camera that got wrecked half way through the shoot.( Motorcycle racing and the camera was on a boot that hit a haybale)
Can I change to the audio from a different camera. I would like to keep the same audio in the entire clip. The sound changes from camera to camera.
Thanks,
Randy

I found this tutorial on Mixing Multicam Audio in FCP X. It has some great workarounds for some of the limited audio mixing capabilities when using Multicam. For example, you may want to use more than one camera's audio at the same time but Multicam only allows one at a time. Watch and see. Maybe they'll make this easier some day.

How to edit only audio tracks in multicam sequences?

How can I cut only the audio track in a multicam sequence? I need it like in Final Cut Pro: Cut both video and audio, cut only video track x while audio track y remains untouched, cut only audio track x while video track y remains untouched. I can't find any solution. I use Premiere Pro CS6. Please don't recommend CC!

Well, that's another nasty problem with multicam editing in PP. It cuts only the video but not both. The audio track is always that of the first selected clip (of that in the first video track) when I create a multicam sequence. I have manually to open it in the timeline, enable or disable certain audio tracks, go back to the sequence and cut. But when I have to switch the audio for only some camera angles it is impossible, because I can only change the audio track for the whole sequence. Or do I miss something? Maybe it is another cool "design feature"?

How to combine multiple edited audio tracks in multicam?

I have three camera angles each of which has audio. I would like to combine the audio from all three cameras but the challenge is that I want to edit various points in each audio track separately and synchronized with my cut points from one angle to another. My plan was to edit the audio in each of the 3 tracks then detach the audio from each track and recombine by overlaying them into one audio track. However I found that I cannot detach audio from tracks within the angle viewer where I've made my audio edits. Is there a way to do this or is there a work around?

I found a clumsy work around. I used Audio Hijack Pro from Rogue Amoeba to capture the audio from FCP X of all three camera angles. From the Angle Editor I enabled the audio monitor for each angle and in the Timeline played all three tracks while Audio Hijack Pro recorded the combination of the thee. This allowed me to capture all of my audio edits from the Angle Editor from each of the three tracks. I then copied the combined audio file to the multicam project, aligned it with the multicam audio and reduced the multicam audio to essentially zero, leaving only the combined 3-track audio that I had added.
This approach got me through the project but there must be a better way to accomplish this. Any suggestions?

Audio selection in Cs5.5 Encore auto plays rather then just changes audio track

I am an Encore newbie after moving from DVD SP to Encore for blu ray menu authoring. Ive read and re-read the help files and they seem to be the same for Encore versions going back to at least cs3 for this issue ... so i must be doing something wrong or Encore just cannot do a very basic thing...
I am building a blu-ray with a singel video track and 2 audio tracks. I am trying to link a menu to allow a user to select a 5.1 or 2ch version of audio for a feature film. All shoudl be straightforward. i have a menu with several buttons. Each button links to an audio track in my timeline.
However, when i test my links, instead of just changing the audio and returning to the menu (as per the instructions in the help files ), the film plays from the beginning.
The correct audio track is played, but that is not my intention at that point. I want the user to choose the audio track and then allow the user to press another play button or go to another menu and back again before the film starts.
So how do i just change the audio track but not play it there and then ?
The help says use 'specify link' so i choose that option and select the timeline, yes, select the audio track 1 or 2, yes. But there is no different way to do this if i actually wanted to play the track at that time as well. What is the fundemental bit i am missing here ? Something to do with button type or some werid overide setting i am missing ? Can Encore actually do this ? its rather frustrating having come from using DVD SP which allows you to script everything and set gprm/sprm registers, to a program that does not seem to allow you to do anything beyond very very basic authoring.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

To return to menu after changing the audio or any subtitle track, you should select the desired menu in the Specify Link option and change the audio and subtitle accordingly.
In the example above, what I have done is, I went to the Specify Link, chose the menu as the target and also changed the audio track there and clicked OK
So here, after pressing Button 3 (Item 3), I would return to the menu and my aduio would be reset to audio track 2.
After that, whatever timeline I play, that would be played with audio track 2.
That is just a small example to show how it is done. Set the navigation as you like.

How to change audio track on a flv-video during streaming?

Hello ,
I would like to stream a flv-video, but every time with
different audio-track.
So how can I change the audio track on a video-stream? Is
there any server-side solution for this?
I used to stream the audio on different stream - parallel
with the video stream -, but because of synchronization problems,
it didn't work.
Any idea?
Thanks

Thanks for the helpful response. I'll check out the the options available for shaping the sound with eq, efx and amp sims as you suggest.
It still would be helpful to know if I change an audio track (.aif file) into a midi track in GarageBand or in some other software so I can change the instrumentation of the track from piano to another instrument.
Thanks again!

Multiple audio tracks in Multicam

Haven't tried this yet, so I thought Id ask before I dive in and find that it didn't work as expected.
I'll have three cameras going, plus a Zoom Hi audio recorer. There'll be a Lavalier mic on me and one another person, one of which is plugged to a camera, the other to the Zoom. For the other two cameras, one will have a shotgun and the other will use its internal mic solely for synch purposes.
Can I expect issues in multicam while trying to cut between the audio tracks from each of these three devices? Is there some setup I need to do to ensure it works smoothly?
I could probably plug away at this and figure it out, but I have lots to do in the next little while, so your help will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you only use the audio on the cameras for sync-ref, then no problem at all!
You simply set the active audio to the Zoom Hi tracks, and switch video..
If you need to use audio from the cameras as well, it get's mor complicated..

How do you change audio track of iMovie?

I looked in Help and didn't find an answer to changing out my audio track. Anyone?

The track number refers to the number it is on the original album that you got it from. You can change it in the playlist you have, but it's going to keep that change you made even for the original cd. You could always burn it (will be on multiple cds), name the cd, and then re-import it. If you want to change the track number, that's probably the easiest way. Or you can go track by track in your playlist and change it, and deal with it being changed with the original cd. There's no other way besides clicking on the first track, right click to "get info" and go through the "info" tab and change them manually, as far as I know. You don't have to constantly click get info, either. After you do the first track, hit next and it will go to the next song.

Manually balance audio tracks in Multicam Clip

I have an audio file taken from the sound board for a theatrical performance that I videoed on two cameras. The audio on this file is clean, but weak in comparison to the ambient audio I recorded with my camcorders, and alone is not adequate. How can I best juice that audio track -- I have used the auto balancing as I understand it, but that understanding may be inadequate? The mix of all gives the fullest sound, but I don't think the audio source which should be best on voices is really contributing much. Can I do this in the editor for the multi clip, or would it be best for me to enhance it separately and re-create the multi cam clip with that enhanced audio file?
Ernie

I have marked this solved, even tho' I have not yet attemped to follow the advice. What I think is solved, given your knowledge Tom, is that I have not missed something in the editing of such a multi cam clip with respect to audio. I will need to figure out how I want to enhance the audio clip before jump in, and what tools I have available.

Multicam changing audio tracks

Hi,
I have edited a project in FCP X using Multicam. All has been good, its a learning curve but seemingly not too steep. However, having finished the edit and exported it I notice that I have used the wrong camera for the sound track and want to change it to the sound from the other camera. I thought that it would be as easy as opening up the edit, and then selecting the other audio.....for me not so.....Can anyone give me in simple terms some instructions on how to do it. I feel I'm missing a probably simple step to achieve this. Thanks.

Select your multicam clip in the timeline, go to the inspector, click "Info" and choose the one you want under "Active audio angle".

Changing audio track

i am having problems changing tracks on my ipod classic 80gig,if a track is playing and i go to another track and press the centre button to play the new track it just carries on with the track that was playing,any help would be great.
jonx

strange. normally you should be able to play any song, regardless of playlist or anything else.
I don't know since I never used anything besides iTunes, but I think it could very likely be the reason. Your songs show up on the iPod, so they are recognized. But maybe they were transfered not correctly and therefore the iPod can't play them or anything? Try putting some songs on your iPod via iTunes, that's the only way to be sure. If it still doesn't work when using iTunes, take the iPod back to the store and get a new one.

Audio Tracks Help

Hello,
Ok I have a wmv file. Inserted into timeline. Audio track goes to track 4. When I unlink and try to move up to audio track one it doesn't move. It can't drag. Not sure if I set something up wrong in my sequence, also I notice in audio tracks 1-3 in the upper right hand corner there is like a double speaker icon. In track 4 there is only a single one and that is where my track seems to be locked. Sort of new, so is this something to do with like mono versus stereo?? If so how do I change audio tracks 1-3 to mono or just delete them??
Thanks

Cannot find alternate audio tracks

I have some m4v files created with 2 audio tracks - 1 Dolby Surround for watching on my imac and one AC3 for watching on my Apple TV
In itunes i can select either track, but cannot select them on my Apple TV
When I hold down play/pause, all I get is a list of chapters.......nothing else
I am running software version 3.0.1

i have many m4v files like this also - 2 audio tracks (dolby surround track 1 and ac3 track 2).
appletv does not give the option to change audio tracks and uses just the ac3 track.

Multicam - audio track not indicating source

In CS6 I could keep track of which audio track I was using in a multi-cam edit by the indicators on the audio part of the clip - MC1, MC2 etc
This is no longer a part of CC, only the video component shows the camera source.
Is there any way of getting the indicators back on the audio?
Multicam in CC does do some odd things occasionally with audio, changing the audio source sometimes even though I have 'multi-camera audio follows video' deselected

If you're talking about the source select tabs, in order for them to show there has to be a clip with audio loaded in the Viewer window.

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

How can I make a synced audio track match the length of selected clips in a multicam seq?

I have a continuous multicam sequence of about 13 minutes containing a synced master audio track recorded from seperate microphones. I want to rearrange scenes from it into my final sequence, but when I select a range of clips to nest the entire length of audio gets pasted into the new sequence. I want to trim the audio to match just the clips I've selected but not lose sync. Is there a way to do this or is nesting not the way to chop up a sequence and rearrange the scenes in it?
Thanks.
Mike

Me too!!! I have a multicam sequence from 2 cameras with the audio staying on camera 1. I also have a seperate, continuous audio track recorded from microphones which I have synced to the timeline. I'm trying to select a group of sequential clips of different camera angles from the timeline to create scenes which I can insert into a final sequence but in a different order from how they are on the timeline. Let's say I want to take a series of clips that start at 3:30 on the timeline and go until 4:30 on the timeline. It will contain several cuts between the different cameras and I want to use that section as the first scene of my new sequence. If I select all of the clips in that time period and nest them into a new sequence, I only get the audio from camera 1 on the new TL. If I try window selecting those clips to include the continuous audio track, I get a new TL with 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the desired audio, then the video clips, and then the rest of the audio making a 13 minute TL. I just learned, after searching around, about marking in and out points on my multicam seq. and using the trick of "LIFTing" and then "UNDOing" to keep my multiseq intact, and then pasting into a new sequence. That works, but I'm only getting the audio track from off the camera. It won't select and lift the section of the other audio track that I want. I'm rushed for time so that's the way I've ended up finishing the video for now. The camera audio is just going to have to do although the mic recording is much better. The more I try to explain this the more confused I get and I'm sure everybody reading it does too. Any ideas? Thanks!
