MULTICAM CLIP, retiming without affect audio

i am editing a multicam project, in time line i want to retime a clip without to affect the audio, so i lift it from storyline, press cmd r and retime, but the angle audio too is affected i want to speed up just the video and to fill gap with brolls pictures, graphic or whatever. thanks.

My first thought was the same as Karsten's, but then I checked and, indeed, "Detach Audio" does not seem to be available in a multicam clip.
I was able to do what you asked by adding a new angle. Made a copy of the existing angle and pasted into this new angle. Now you can use one angle just for the audio and you can do anything you want with the video in the other angle.

Having lots of trouble creating a multicam clip with independently recorded audio in sync

I can't figure out why this isn't working and have tried it many different ways and many times. Here's the situation:
Video was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon 7D (I suspect this may be part of the problem because the 5D has timecode capabilities and the 7D doesn't)
Primary audio was recorded on a Zoom H4N but each camera recorded audio also and the levels are all fine
I've tried the following to create the mutlicam clip of the interview with all audio and video in sync:
Naming the Camera Angle for each clip (Profile and Straight On)
Selecting all of the relevant video clips
Seleting all of the relevant audio and video clips
Synchronizing the video clips with the high quality audio clips (half of which I had to do by hand) and then selecting the sychronized clips to create the multicam clip
None of this works. In the end a multicam clip is created that is completely out of sync. I'm at a loss and would love any help!
Thank you.
Nick

I saw in a video tutorial (after trying to find solutions to this problem) that one should assign the independent audio to the same camera angle as one of the cameras. After assigning it to its own angle, it did much better but it loses sync about half way through now. Screenshot attached.

Fade to Black Without Affecting Audio

This seems like a painfully stupid/simple question but I can't figure out how to fade a clip to black whilst maintaining the same audio level. It seems apply fade to black also fades the audio.

Hi
In older versions of iMovie - one Extracted Audio - then applied Transition - then fine tuned the audio.
In iMovie'09 and 11 - Extract Audio also works
Apple/File/Edit/Cut ---> Down here to 14:te row - Extract Audio or Separate Audio (iM'11)
Then apply Transition
Then as the Rubberband function now is restored (in way off) - fine tune the Audio ends.
Not using iM'11 - this is mostly based on Guessing and looking/testing into iM'11.
(in iMovie HD6 and FinalCut this is much more in control)

Clip imports without the audio...

Using FCE I'm importing small a/v clips, but once they're in FCE they don't have any audio.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

How to insert video without affecting audio on Mac

I'm trying to insert video but it keeps displacing my audio in soundtrack. I hold the alt button as it says in help instructions but it doesn't work. How do I do this seems a simple thing a program like this should do.

Welcome to the forum.
It sounds like you are running up against PrE's default to do a Ripple Edit, when you want an Insert Edit. The modifier key to use to toggle between Ripple and Insert, is Ctrl (on a PC, which should translate to the Cmd key on the mac). If the Ctrl key is held down, then the editing process becomes an Insert Edit.
Let us know if that works, and good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Steve, thanks for affirming that it IS the Cmd key on the Mac.

How to mute ALL audio in one single go in an edited multicam clip?

Hi there
I'm having to replace some audio in an already edited multicam clip. (there are mulitple audio parts I'm replacing by the way)
How can I mute ALL of the audio in one go, as I have about 400 cuts and am currently having to mute one by one per cut.
thanks

Easy. Select them all. In the inspector, click the Audio tab. Under "Channel configuration", uncheck the box which would say something like "400 selected clips".

One set of clips won't sync when trying to create a Multicam clip

I am trying to create a multicam clip using one long audio track, several clips from one camera and several clips from another camera. All three have audio recorded from the same shoot. One camera angle successfully synchronises with the audio track, placing the clips in the correct positions and leaving blank spaces where I don't have a clip. The other set of clips do not sync. It puts them in order by not synchronised. I have named camera angles and camera in the meta fields. Can anyone help? The camera which seems to sync ok was a canon XA10 the camera which doesn't is a canon 60D. The 60D took its audio teach from the linear PCM recorder I used for the Audio track. (It's still a little noisy in case anyone wants to know why I'm still using the PCM track). Can anyone help? I tried to call apple but seemingly they won't help unless I get an error message.

You could probably generate the content of the end file
separately, before including it in the final file to be accessed by
the user.
You could do this using CFSAVECONTENT
<cfquery name="getprinthtml" datasource="#dsn#">
SELECT abstractDirectory
FROM Abstract_tbl
WHERE (Abstract_ID IN (#url.abslist#))
</cfquery>
<cfsavecontent variable="theBody">
<cfoutput query="getprinthtml">
<cfinclude
template="/uploads/#getprinthtml.abstractDirectory#/#getprinthtml.abstractDirectory#_prin t.html">
<hr>
</cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>
then use
theBody as a variable containing the entire contents at one
time when you generate the final Word doc so it does not have to
run any looping at that time.
Other than that, is there any chance the query is really only
picking up one row based on the cirteria ?

How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

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.

Audio pops/clicks when changing angles in multicam clips

I am having problems with audio pops/clicks when working with angle switching in multicam clips. it always occurs when i utilize any of the "audio enhancements" features, such as the loudness or background noise removal features. Switching angles results in audible audio pops. The only way to get rid of them is to disable the audio enhancements. This occurs regardless of the audio source. Is this a known bug that is being addressed? I rely heavily on the audio editing features in my work and am hoping this will be resolved in an update soon. Thanks for any help-

Hi Brad, thanks for the reply!
That sounds like a good workaround. What I have been doing in the meantime is create a new compound clip after I finish all of my cuts, and then apply the audio edits to the new contiguous audio clip in the compound clip.
What is really strange and frustrating is that all of my new audio bugginess really began when I could no longer detach audio from my multicam clips in 10.0.9... After doing many searches here, it seems that in this most recent update of FCPX this is no longer a 'feature'... I don't know why they changed this, but in older updates of FCPX you could detach audio from original clips, compound clips, or multicam clips with no problems. I would routinely create and edit all of the angle cuts in my multicam clips in the timeline, and then if I wanted to, be able to detach the audio and do more edits if needed. Thankfully I can still apply edits to compound audio clips, but it would sure be nice if I could just correct/enhance audio without ugly-sounding artifacts in multicam edits. Thanks again-

How to use two audio souces in one multicam clip

I have a three cameras, and an additional audio source. Making the multicam clip with of the four elements was easy, however I would like to use both the audio from two different sources at the same time. Is this possible? I know about switching the audio from one source to the other, but in some cases, I have talent on stage left and on stage right, and I need the audio pick up from both regardless of the video angle.

You can do it this way.
In the multicam select audio to left clip.
Then find the right clip, detach its audio, take its audio & align it to the multicam clips.
This way you have audio from let & right

Is it possible to have the same audio clip be playing nonstop between menu's in idvd '11? I want to be able to go from one menu to the next without the audio cutting out on me. Thanks for any support! I have tried searching the forrums but no luck yet.

"Move, trim, or delete clips in the primary storyline without affecting connected clips" doesn't work here

Move, trim, or delete clips in the primary storyline without affecting connected clips
That’s just what I was waiting for!
But it's very difficult for me to use this option
First af all the choice of the "Grave accent", which isn't present itself on the Mac keyboard, is somewhat strange in my opinion.
So, according to my keyboard viewer, to get grave accent I have to use alt-\ or alt-9, which is itslef too complicated.... Couldn't they program a simple modifier key (alt, or command, or ctrl...)?
Anyway, in both cases I get strange behaviours.
Infact I get alert sound, which meanes something strange is happening, and the behaviours are not what I want...
Any help?
Thanks

You can set that key to something else that suits you better.
(just as you can customize keyboard shortcuts all over the application, changing and adding shortcuts as you wish).
The name for this command is "Override connections".
Go to Final Cut Pro->Commands. This will open the "Command Editor".
In order to not mess with the default set of commands, first make a copy by selecting "Duplicate..." in the popup menu at the top left of Command Editor. Call this something meaningful (or leave it as "Copy of default").
Enter "Override connections" (without the quotes) into the search box at the top right. Now you can enter an appropriate keyboard shortcut for it.
(Note: if you choose something that is already assigned to a different function, you'll get a warning dialog box)

Audio level reduced by a few dB fr orig multicam clip

I'm baffled to figure out why the audio level in the 1st multicam clip is always higher when I take that multicam clip and put it in another project. The audio level is reduce by -3 to -6 dB. Now I have to increase everything by about 3 to 6 dB in the initial multicam clip so that that will be within the level I wanted when I put it in the project timeline. Is there anyway to get a 1:1 pass-through, unaltered audio level just like what it is in the initial multi cam clip?

Need help with audio wav file in multicam clip

I created a multicam clip with 3 cameras with crappy, far away, room audio and 1 stereo audio wav file with 2 lavaliere mics of "good Audio" 1 lav left & 1 lav right. on one channel there is a lot of distortion from shirt ruffle etc.... but only at times. I would like to ride the mix and use sections of "good" audio and get rid of sections of "Bad" audio from the one channel. but, I cant figure it out. anyone??? I'm hoping Apple updates this issue soon with great audio support with "simultaneos multicam audio switching!!!" Please, Please Apple...

You can do what you need right now, no need for Apple to do anything, they've already don it. Check this out.
