How do you edit sound in multicam (cs5)

Hi all,
I always see people raving about multi cam editing for wedding speeches but on the 10 or so occasions Ive given it a try I just give up instantly due to the fact that I feel so limited in what I can do with the audio.
I would use it for wedding speeches where I have 8 or 9 audio tracks, editing in 5.1 and I need to stop parts of the track distorting occasionally or removing sections of sound, boosting quiet parts etc (as the dynamics effect with limiter ticked and set to -1dB only seems to quieten down the rest of the audio from that point onwards if it severely needs to kick in), however as soon as you enable multi cam and start editing, your audio appears flattened into one track.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I KNOW it must be possible but I just cant work out how.
Thanks

Or...you can just nest the video only and leave all your tracks right there with the video. Although I'm not sure about CS5 as I use CS6. Either way works. For me what works best is to nest the video ONLY by alt+selecting the video clips, right-click and choose NEST...then, right-click again and choose Multicam>Enable. Now you have the video and all the audio tracks on one timeline. I find that easier to deal with personally but to each their own. Unfortunately, there's a bug and the audio meters/levels don't work while in the multicam window so you can't monitor the levels. Feel free to submit a bug report to add your name to the list of people who'd like to see that get fixed. Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    For Windows, in Lightroom preferences for external editing, have you added a custom setting for the elements 12 editor?
    Click on the Choose button and navigate to the editor
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    [omit the (x86) if on 32bit system]

  • How do you edit text that is in a text box?

    How do you edit text that is in a text box?  I just want to change the font color of the text.  Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    This is what the help files recommend
    (Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    When I try the above solution I don't have a  "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
    Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

    Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
    If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
    It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.

  • How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    You can blur it out with retouch
    The built-in "Retouch" brush in "Edit" mode should suffice, if the background is mostly uniform, and if you set the size of the brush to slightly wider than the bar width of the letters. For example, in this picture I removed the year from the date (in the lower right corner) by using the "retouch" brush and following the contours of the letters. (the screen shot is from iPhoto '11, but iPhoto 9 should give similar results).

  • I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

    I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?
    Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound?
    Will I need adaptors and an interface?
    Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
    I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
    Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
    The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
    I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
    I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

  • How do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

    how do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

    An existing website as in: editing one which has not previously been uploaded via iWeb?
    I don't think you can. With the wysiwyg editing of iWeb, you can create a whole new website, make a new subdomain site or even upload a few extra created pages.
    Thing is iWeb will only upload or save what you are making in it, therefore you can upload a whole new website to a domain, or upload them manually with ftp-clients. That also means you can't import an exsisting, for example html, script and edit it.
    So in short: for as far as I know, you can't import whole pages into iWeb and edit those, you can only create and upload them.
    Or as in: editing one I've already made, and uploaded on the same Mac?
    Then simple make the changes you want, and hit the "Publish" button in the far down-left corner of the window. It will then overwrite the site you currently have.

  • Droid 4 how do you add sounds for the alarm.

    How do you add sounds for the alarm on the Droid 4. I do not like any of the alarm clock sounds.

    In your internal storage of the phone, create a folder called alarms. Then copy or move the audio files to that folder.
    You might need to download a file explorer application from the Android Market.
    If the alarms in the root of storage doesn't work. Create a media folder, then a audio folder in that folder and then move the alarms folder in that folder.
    Or the simplest route, download the app called Ringdroid. You can use that application to set sounds as various ringtones types.

  • How do you edit photos for extravert 2

    how do you edit photos for extravert 2? I had extravert 1 and it had edit icon.

        fairiemonkey,
    Sorry to see you've had trouble editing your photos! Each phone has there own unique features. The original Extravert had photo edit features including drawing and changing contrast, sharpness, blur and brightness. The Extravert 2 does not have those same features. You can still change things such as camera options for white balance and resolution but do not have those same photo editing options available.
    You can transfer pictures to a desktop computer and then use photo editing software on your computer for more advanced photo editing. Here are instruction on how to tranfer the pictures: http://vz.to/1z1nB6H . Just scroll down to where it says, From the Device to the Computer.
