Multicam and Audio question

When editing weddings, you have different audio tracks on each camera. Since when muticam editing in Premiere Pro, you edit in a nested sequence and the audio track can be only one track, how would I go about adjusting audio as I edit?
By adjusting I mean when sometimes the cameraman will interview a guest during the dancing or there will be loud clapping from the audience and I will want to raise the volume of the audience track for those few moments but in the nested multicam sequence, I don't have both audio tracks... and even if I duplicate the audio in the target sequence, it doesn't help because since it's nested, you can't see the wave form of the audio. To have to keep going back to the target and navigating to the time I'm holding in my editing and adjusting the audio seems like a pain.
How do you guys do this?
Thanks.

I've done it two ways.  When I have several complicated audio tracks, I create an audio sequence and edit the audio there.  Then I just nest that one sequence into the multicam target (and mute or delete the multicam audio track).  The video is usually not critical (e.g. a play, so one camera's video gives me what I need).
I have also added the original audio clips to the multicam target sequence.  Since they are original clips, they have waveform.
If you have made many cuts (ie. less continuious material), this will be challenging no matter what method you use.

  • Multicamera and audio suggestions

    Hi,
    I have two cameras recording of an event. I have a separate audio recorded from someone else that I would like to incorporate in the final multicamera editing. What is the best work flow for this? In other words, I don't want the audio from the cameras. I want to use the audio from the separate recording in the final multicam output.
    thanks!!!

    Just bring the audio onto the timeline and visually align the waveform to the audio from the video. It's not hard. I do it all the time with music videos I make of myself fingerpicking acoustic guitar. No mic I stick on the cam is going to be anywhere near the quality I can achieve from a good 1/2" condenser a foot away from the guitar, so I record a wave into Audtion as I'm videotaping, do whatever editing I need to do with it, and then export and bring into Premeiere afterwards. It's really very easy.
    In case you're wondering, I couldn't get as good of results running my mic into a cam even if it had good XLR ins and volume controls because acoustic instruments require some processing. Guitars especially love compression and reverb. There's not a plugin in the world for either compression or reverb that can come close to my hardware units, so I choose to run a mic through my mixing desk and add effects live as I'm playing. Of course this has nothing to do with your case. I'm just saying....

  • S-Video and Audio Question

    Hello, last night I hooked up my Powerbook to my tv using an S-Video cable. The video looked great and crystal clear, but I had no audio except for my laptop speakers. Is there a way to have audio come out from the tv? Is it a tv setting, a powerbook setting, or is s-video not made for this? Thanks for your time!

    Hello, Patrick.
    S-Video connections only carry video information. They do not carry any sound information whatsoever.
    To have your TV play back the sound, you must attach the headphone jack on your PowerBook to your TV's Audio Inputs. You can buy a "Y-connector" from your local electronics store (Radio Shack, WalMart, K-Mart, Sears, etc.) to attach a (male) Mini Stereo Headphone jack to (male) RCA Left and Right plugs. It should cost about $6.00. Your TV must have audio inputs for this to work, however, so verify that you have appropriate inputs before investing the money.
    Alternatively, if you have an audio amplifier attached to your home theater, you should attach the audio cables to an input on your amplifier. (There are certain situations that would require different wiring, but they are less common and probably won't apply.)
    In the absence of such a connection, the video is sent along the S-Video cable, but the Mac "sees" no audio connection, so it plays the audio through its own speakers.
    Hope this helps!

  • Date/time theme, and audio question

    I have a video about 45 min long. I have dragged the date/time theme to each thumbnail section, but sometimes it won't allow me to drop it into the whole thumbnail, only a part of it. Is there a fix?
    Also, can you drop the date/time theme into the whole video, without having to do each thumbnail?
    How do I transfer my video to a dvd without sound?
    Thanks!

    I have dragged the date/time theme to each thumbnail section, but sometimes it won't allow me to > drop it into the whole thumbnail, only a part of it. Is there a fix?
    Have you tried dragging the left handle (and dragging to the left) or the right handle) and (dragging to the right) to lengthen the Title?
    You must do titles one at a time.
    How do I transfer my video to a dvd without sound?
    You can set the volume for a clip by clicking on the inspector icon for the clip (looks like a little gear inside the clip). Select Audio Adjustments. And move the volume slider to zero.
    If you want to do this for all clips, select the clip you just adjusted and click, EDIT/COPY.
    Now click EDIT/SELECT ALL.
    Finally click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/AUDIO.

  • Resolution, audio, alpha channel, and backup questions (newbie)

    Hello!
    Well, after a few weeks of fidgeting around with FCE, I've come up with quite a few questions:
    Image/Audio questions
    A. What is the best still image size for import to a NTSC DV movie? Is it the 720x480 px (3:2 aspect ratio) standard of the DV image, or the 4:3 ratio of your generic CRT TV?
    I know it depends on pan/zoom. This brings up the next question:
    B. I have a still image - literally a blue and black two-color image - that I'd like to zoom. It will start out with a very close shot - and zoom out until it takes up around 10% of the screen. The ending frame (the DV size) will be about 10-12 times smaller than the original image. Does this mean that I should make the original 10-12 times bigger (in both directions) than a DV frame?
    This clip is essentially an imitation of the opening of the movie "Home Alone", where the screen begins blue, and as it zooms out, you see it's a stylized house, which zooms out to a tiny size. That's essentially the effect I'm going for.
    Audio/Video sync issue
    C. Some of the clips I've imported from old iMovie projects are a little out of sync. It's not a conversion issue, but an issue with bad editing on my part . So, I have a still image that's about 1.5 seconds too short - it cuts to the next still, which is 1.5 seconds too long. I've added edit points at both ends of the out-of-sync clip, so that I have a 1.5 second clip, with its own audio and video.
    The problem is that the audio is perfect, but the video is bad. So, I need to replace the video, without changing the audio. How is this done?
    D. Sometimes, I'll end up with either audio or video that's not quite right after importing a movie. However, FCE locks them together. Is there a way to unlock them so that I can change either? Essentially, is there a way to change the audio and video from one clip into two seperate clips?
    E. Can I export a single clip or two only? (eg - the same as the "Share selected clips only" check box the iMovie's share menu)
    Alpha channel/marquee question:
    In one idea I had for this short, I have a still image (and some video) where I'd like to highlight a small area in one part of the image. In one part, it's a small object in the background that I'm highlighting. If you've seen a documentary where they have a group photo, and highlight the face of one particular person, that's the effect I'm going for.
    I've made some Photoshop images that can achieve this effect - using a transparent background, a black top layer (at ~40-80% opacity), and an eliptical marquee for the highlighted portion. I then import it, and fine tune the location/size. It works, but it takes a lot of time to talor each shot. Is there some way to do this IN Final Cut Express? A filter perhaps?
    In addition: (alpha-video)
    is there a way to turn part of a video into an alpha channel, so that it's transparent in the final movie? It's not so much a solid color (as the bluescreen/chroma key technique would need), but more of background. For example, I would like to take some footage of my family walking in front of trees, remove the background, and place an entirely different video/still in. Is that possible?
    Backup: FInal question:
    I have my source media organized fairly well on my external drive. However, if my drive should die, It would be incredibly tedius to re-link all the files. (I do have a fairly current backup of the external files). Not to mention finding the orignal capture files, re-timing the project, and so on. The project file itself is probably the easiest to back up.
    So, how do you back up EVERYTHING? Some projects may have hundreds of files, all over my external drive. Is there some easy way to back up all the files into a single place, like a single folder or DVD, so that if my drive should fail, all the files are in one spot?
    I can export them back to a miniDV tape, but I don't have that many, plus they're $5 a pop. I can do this with Toast, but I'll likely end up missing some out-of-the-way files. If only .Mac's Backup had a Final Cut preset.....
    I know that's a BUNCH of stuff up there, so if you can help with any of them, i'd be appreciative.
    Thanks,

  • FR: Keep Video and Audio clips Linked in Multicam once razored

    Here is my feature request, if you agree please cut and paste and submit to feature request!
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    *******Enhancement / FMR*********
    Brief title for your desired feature:
    Keep Video and Audio cuts in a Multicam sequence linked together when using the razor tool.
    How would you like the feature to work?
    Whether inside a multicam created sequence, or a multicam sequence that has been pasted into another layer on a separate sequence, I want the video and audio to remain linked together when a cut is made. Currently, when I make a cut, the audio and video become unlinked and I have to first a. make all the razor cuts, then b. go and relink the video and audio clips back together. Takes an extra 30 minutes every time now.
    Why is this feature important to you?
    To save time and stop the long redundant process of click selecting the video and audio and linking them, over and over and over, in a multicam sequence. Obviously if I can do it manually, it can also be done in-program.

    When you create the multicam sequence manually (still the best way, I think), video and audio remain linked.

  • Final Cut and Audio in Multicam

    I recently upgraded to the latest version of final cut pro x.
    With one audio chanel that did not change in a multicam movie, but the video chanel do change (did not use their audio).
    Everytime in which the camera in the multicam changes (on rendering only) I get a split second pause (or dropout) in the audio.
    I have been making multicam movies for a long time now, never had this problem with the old version. Doing everything the same way.
    Can anyone tell me how I can avoid this - other then deleting the cut in the audio (which are in sync with the changes in the cameras)
    Thank you.

    The cut where made across the multicam edit, each time I changed cameras, but the audio was constant.(audio had cuts in the wave form to match the video)
    The video and audio play correctly in the time line.
    The problem is after I export or compress the video. Then the audio drop outs happen.
    This never used to happen with the previous version with all things constant.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Multicam Sequence Audio Editing in Premier Pro CC

    I have synced up all my video clips via audio (new feature in CC) and have gone through the whole video, selecting which shot I want at each point in the wedding ceremony.  However, I have 15 channels of audio and not one of them is the be all end all audio clip.  In fact most of the audio clips don't have any audio until a certain part in the service (for example, a singer's mic doesn't have audio till the person starts singing).  Some of my audio channels have terrible natural sound and I only needed the audio so that I could sync it up.  Calling Adobe, the guy told me I needed to come here because he couldn't help me.  I need help FAST!

    There's no question in your post. Only a statement.
    Not sure what you're wanting to know, but for what it's worth here's how I do multicam and have full control over ALL channels of the audio within the same timeline as the nested multicam clip. I sync all my clips stacking them on the timeline. I then ALT+Select ONLY the Video clips and right-click and select NEST. Now you should have one video clip and all your audio channels still laid out. Next, right-click on the nested video clip and select MULTICAM>Enable. Done. Now you can do your normal multicam edit and still have full view of your audio channels and just keyframe them off when you don't want to hear them, etc. Not sure if that answered your question, but then again, there was no question so hope this helps!

  • Video and audio transmission from MacBook to TV

    Since I really get mixed up with various posts about connecting MacBooks to a TV set I would love to get simple answers to the following questions:
    How can I connect my MacBook to a TV so that I have video and audio rendering? My MacBook has a mini-DVi output, my TV set has VGA, HDMI, and audio inputs. Since to my knowledge HDI carries no audio signals I suspect that I need an extra audio connection. Is this true?

  • Keynote and Audio Idiosynchysies on iPad when using AirPlay

    I have the latest version of Apple TV, iPad, and Keynote. We use it to project video via AirPlay on an Apple TV to projectors, and audio from the optical system of the apple TV to an external sound system.
    My problem is that when I play video files through the included Photo app on the iPad, the volume is at one level. Perfectly set.
    When I embed that same video in a Keynote presentation, it becomes super quiet (over half the volume). The QuickTime inscpector in keynote has it at volume level 10 (max), and I just can't figure out what is going on. Why the different levels?
    The iPad volume level is not changed. The change occurs between the two ways of playing the video file.
    Any ideas on what is going on and how I can fix this issue? I don't want to make two versions of the movie- one with normal sound, and one with super amplified sound just for keynote presentations.
    Help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

    I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8.  [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems: 
    First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’ 
    Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ]   I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
    Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer.  There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux). 
    Questions:
    1.  Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
    2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

    "I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8  camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
    "Are you using  Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
    "Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
    WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.'  However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
    So, back to the Questions:
    1.  Why doesn’t the source  monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3  March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
    2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

  • Getting Ripped DVD Video and Audio Into Encore

    Do you have previously authored DVDs that need rework?  Do you want to add menus with greater impact and functionality?  Do you want to add some additional program or supplemental material?  Does a client want their product demo DVD to be updated to reflect the capabilities of the new and improved version, but the source files no longer exist?  Using Adobe Encore DVD and a freeware utility called DVD Decrypter (DVDD), you can accomplish this quickly and easily.
    Disclaimer: I do not support the illegal copying and/or distribution of copyrighted works.  The authors and distributors of the software I use have made it clear that they do not support illegal copying.  This guide is intended solely to assist you in ripping and copying DVD video to which you have the legal rights.  Any use of this guide to infringe the copyright of someone else’s intellectual property is prohibited.
    This guide is based on Adobe Encore DVD 1.5.1 and DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0.  Let’s Begin!
    Place the DVD to be ripped in your DVD drive and launch DVDD.  If you have more than one drive (e.g., a DVD-ROM and a DVD burner) make sure the one with the disc is selected in the Source dropdown list in the main program window.  Now we need to set up DVDD to extract video in a way that is “Encore friendly”.  This is the toughest part of the whole exercise.  Click on the Tools menu item and choose “Settings…”. 
    Settings
    General Tab: You can leave these set at their defaults if you like.  Personally, I specify a custom Default Destination.  I put my ripped video assets all in one place anyway, and having a default destination means I have one less thing to do when I rip a DVD.
    IFO Mode Tab: Make sure that “Select Main Movie PGC” and “Enable Stream Processing” are checked.  “Uncheck Suspect Cells” is probably a good default safety check.  If your hard disks are formatted as NTFS, set File Splitting to “None”.  I leave “Copy IFO File” checked with the default sub-items checked.  Make sure that “Patch M2V Timecode” is unchecked.  The items in the Create Additional Files section are purely optional.  The author of DVDD has been kind enough to list which programs need which files; notice that Encore DVD isn’t listed as needing any of these extra files.  I do keep the “Stream Information” box checked.  DVDD generates very informative file names, but I like to keep “Include PGC Number” under File Names checked.  Be advised you will get some lengthy file names after DVDD is finished ripping.
    Stream Processing Tab: Since we enabled stream processing in the IFO Mode tab, we need to tell DVDD how to process those streams.  To save yourself time and confusion later, check the “Convert PCM to WAV” box.  Earlier versions of Encore required a Demuxed audio stream and a Raw video stream.  Encore 1.5.1 can accept either type of video stream (Raw or Demuxed) but it does still require a Demuxed audio stream.  However, I still recommend using Raw video and Demuxed audio, if only because it seems to be somewhat faster to process in DVDD.  This workflow is also backward-compatible with earlier versions of Encore.
    So let’s set up the Stream Processing tab now.  In the Demux box, enter “0x8? 0xA? 0xC?”.  This ensures that all audio streams in the selected PGC, whether AC3, PCM or MPEG will be set to Demux.  In the Raw box, enter “0xE0”.  This ensures that the video from the selected PGC will be set to Raw.  
    Additional Notes about the Stream Processing Tab:
    1. For those of you asking the question, “What the heck is a PGC?” it’s just DVD-speak for the titles in a DVD project.  And I’m not talking about the opening or end credits, either; I’m talking about the titles that result, for example, from the timelines you create in an Encore DVD project.  There is a subtle difference between a PGC and a VTS (title set), but that's not important right now.
    2. Happily, recent versions of DVDD create a WAV file after ripping that will import directly into Encore.  Versions prior to 3.2.0.0 would create a WAV file that had to be imported to, and exported from, a sound editing program like Adobe Audition, Goldwave or SoundForge before Encore would recognize it.
    Events Tab: For convenience sake, I recommend setting “Set Program Mode” in the Startup section to “IFO”.  That way, whenever you launch DVDD, it will look familiar to you.  You may safely ignore all of the other tabs in the Settings dialog. 
    Ripping
    1.Under the Input Tab of the main program window, select the PGC you want to rip.  You can only do one at a time.
    2.Switch to the Stream Processing Tab.  Verify that Enable Stream Processing is checked.
    3.Check or uncheck any or all of the video and audio streams that are listed.  Highlight each one to verify that all audio streams are set to Demux and the video stream is set to Raw.
    4.If you didn’t select Default Destination in the General Settings Tab, then you need to tell DVDD where to put the ripped files now.
    5.Click on the big DVD-to-Disk icon.
    6.DVDD will announce, quite loudly, when it has finished.  At that point you can rename the files or import them as is into Encore.
    I hope you find this guide useful and that it helps you get the most out of your investment in Adobe Encore DVD.

    OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
    1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
    2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
    I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

  • No sound and audio on Satellite A10-S177

    My laptop is a Satellite A10-S177 XP, I happened to delete some programmes from my laptop in order to create space but it so happened that it affected my audio and sound and currently they the sound and audio bit in the control panel say no sound/audio driver. Tried to down load some software from the net but it did not work for it required printer access which I dont have.
    I also dont have my XP installation CD, so am all lost and could do with any help from computer geniuses out there.
    Thank you
    Caroline

    Hi there,
    First of all would you tell me where did you downloaded some software where you thought it would bring back your sound?
    Since your machine is from america you would have to go to the american driver download site:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
    Please visit the link Ive posted and download the sound driver. Install it and check if the sound works.
    In case of any question just feel free and ask...
    Greetings

  • Beware the Security Update - How I fixed my WIFI problem and a question

    First of all I have read the "Latest Update from 21 January is A Disaster" thread and I basically agree with Andrew is Stuck so please don't feel the need repeat any of the stuff about it is not a bug in the update etc etc and I should have a Super Duper clone to hand etc etc . I have read that stuff. You are probably right but they should write on the Security Update info panel - "Be Careful this could really ruin your day".
    I am ****** off and stressed out and I need to rant and I am not looking for that kind of lecture - even if it is partially or wholly true. I need to feel positive by warning people the way I wish I had been warned!
    NB I am near the end of a professional dance tour as Musical Director running music on Logic on my MBP and it has been working fantastic - not a single glitch in 6 weeks. I would never upgrade my OS or Logic in the middle of job like this BUT Security Updates have always seem like something you should install because they will protect the Mac or protect against any new viruses etc. I have never had a problem with them before. (THAT ATTITUDE WILL NOW CHANGE!!!)
    This update has caused a lot of people a lot of problems (check out this forum) and it has caused me more real world problems than anything I have downloaded and installed from anywhere in the last 3 years. Thus it has nothing to do with Security!!! HOw any people does a Security Uodate have to goose before it becomes an unsatisfactory Security Update?
    This security update suddenly stopped my WIFI working and put me in a real hole.
    (I am sure you don't care but I have a meeting tomorrow morning that I needed to do 3 hours of prep for including looking at VIDEO online. And the Security Update has just put paid to that. )
    After 3 hours I have just got WIfi back- here's how:
    I repaired permissions twice with Disk Utility - no joy. I found I could get online when I booted in Safe Mode (and I could get online with my Iphone on the same WIFi setup) so I knew it was not the router - though I did switch the router on and off a few times,
    When I initially ran Repair permissions there was loads of things needing repair. I ran it again and 2 remained:
    usr/share/derby it keeps trying to repair
    and one of the package contents of the ARDAgent.app (System>Library>CoreServices>RemoteManagement>ARDAgent.app>Contents>MacOS>ARDAg ent) had a warning attached that it in the Disk Utility Repair Permissions report that it had been modified.
    So I restored ARDAgent.app from a Time Machine Back up and replaced the offending file when in Safe Mode (Restart with Shift held down). - using Ctrl Click to open the ARDAgent.app package contents.
    This seemed to sort it all out for me.
    I guess people need to look in their Disk Utility Repair Permissions reports and see if any esoteric system files have been goosed by the update and see if they can get them back - although if you don't know what you are doing this could make things worse......
    Anyway I DO have questions:
    If this hadn't of worked:
    1) Would reinstalling Snow Leopard from disks have upset my preferences, installs of Logic and Audio drivers and 3rd party application installs and the rest?
    - the main stressor when this happens is not trying to lose the whole day.
    2) Is there a way of just restoring the System from a Time Machine Backup or a SuperDuper clone or do you have to restore the whole state of the entire Hard Drive?
    Best
    Tommy Banana
    PS I feel better now. Thanks for listening.

    The fact that you saw no glitches while running Logic before applying the update means almost nothing because that uses only a small subset of system resources. Far more significant is that Safe Mode restored some missing functionality: because it disables non-essential items like user fonts, third party drivers, & so on, it points to problems in those areas.
    Equally significant, the fact that there are relatively few reports of post-update problems among the several million Snow Leopard users points away from the update itself as the cause of your problems.
    Separate & apart from that, it so happens that I'm a sound engineer/system designer/board operator with nearly 40 years of professional touring experience. FWIW, I never have & never will update the software of any system I must rely on professionally (whether it is running on a Mac, a PC, or dedicated hardware) unless & until I can thoroughly test it first and I have a trustworthy backup/recursion strategy to fall back on in case of problems.
    I strongly suggest you learn from your unpleasant experience & do the same. I have had far fewer problems with Macs than with PC's, but nothing is 100% reliable to begin with. Changing the OS software part way through the tour is just asking for trouble, no matter how reliable that has been in the past. Even if the budget allows for nothing better than a stack of burned CD's & a couple of consumer grade CD players, no professional tour can afford to be without some fallback strategy in place. That should be self-evident & require no warning from Apple or anybody else.

  • Multicam Clip Audio Channel config greyed out

    I shot an interview with two cameras.  One of those cameras had the audio (lav on left, boom on right).  That audio was imported as a stereo track on import, the angles where multicamed, and the edit happened.
    Now I have a timeline with all my audio playing in stereo (lav on left boom on right).  I want to change from stereo to dual mono so I can audio mix properly, but when I select the multicam clip in the timeline, the channel configuation in the inspector lists it as stereo and the dual mono option is greyed out. (don't know why they won't let me change here)
    I can go back to the event and select the multicam clip there and change it to dual mono and it will also change in the timeline.  So that seems like a work around, but I can't select MULTIPLE multicam clips in the event and batch change the channel config to dual mono.  Says "selected clips are from different multicam clips."
    Am I going to have to select every single multicam clip individually in the event browswer and change the channel configuration on each one? 

    As far as I understand it, you cannot switch a "container" clip like the multicam to dual mono since it contains a clip which is stereo inside it. This makes sense, as per se it is not the multicam that is stereo or not.
    You should make the change from stereo to dual mono in the actual AUDIO clip - either before creating the multicam, or after - in this case, after :-)
    Open the multicam clip in Angle Editor (control-click the clip in the timeline and choose "Open in Angle Editor").
    Now select the clip that contains the audio and make the change. Note that this WILL affect the relevant clip even outside the multicam.
