Multicam not cutting audio tracks

Hi there,
I'm cutting in multicam, but only the video tracks are being cut. The audio track is left untouched. Any thoughts on how to cut both?
Cheers

I've tried blowing away A1 and A2 from the cam 1 merged clip, putting the location sound at A1, and using that master clip to create the multiclip, but to no avail. Still out of sync< </div>
Loyed's got way more experience with multicam than most of us so it's safe to follow his lead.
Not knowing exactly what's going on (sorry if you've already tried this), I'd sync up the audio and then export the newly merged clip as a self-contained movie. Reimport.
Hope you figure it out. Please return and post your solution for the benefit of those who come after seeking help with multiclips.

Razor blade tool not cutting audio and video at the same time

Hiya,
When using the razor blade tool in a timeline, my razor only cuts the video track, or one audio track at a time. The audio and video were imported together.
I would like for the video and two audio tracks to be cut at the same time--so that when I'm cutting I don't have to click three times (VA1A2).
What needs changed to do this? Thank you!!!!
A little annoying -- but would be a time saver. Never had this problem before FCS2.
Thanks again!

Are the video and audio clips linked? If they're not, the cut will only apply to the track under the blade tool.

Quicktime X not seeing audio track in MPEG IMX 625/50 movie file.

Quicktime X is not seeing the audio track in MPEG IMX 625/50 movie files that I generate elsewhere. This is evident by the fact that Quicktime X player will not play the audio track or report that it exists and likewise in FCP X. However Quicktime 7 Player will play the audio track. What's more, the preview pane play option on the movie file icon will actually play back the audio track in the preview mode. Any ideas?

Ok, I have posted 2 images. One is the of the movie inspector from Quicktime 7 Player which shows the audio track properties for BARS.mov. The other is the movie inspector properties for Quicktime X for BARS.mov. As can be seen, Quicktime X Player does not detect the audio track which is present.
I'm not sure how to make the BARS.mov file available. It's only 10MB.

Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12. Imported a project that I had created with PE 9. Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks. But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
Any idea what can cause this?

With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
Good luck,

Multicam and multiple audio tracks sync issue, dual system shoot

I've got a pesky problem with the multicam feature that has me stumped. I've got two cameras, slated with a clapboard, and one track of location sound recorded dual system on a seperate recorder. I have no matched TC on any of the tracks, got to use IN point only. I've tried making a merged clip for cam 1, then making the multiclip using the merged cam 1 clip and cam 2. The video of the multiclip is in sync fine, but the location sound (which is A3 on cam 1) is always offset and way out of sync.
I've tried blowing away A1 and A2 from the cam 1 merged clip, putting the location sound at A1, and using that master clip to create the multiclip, but to no avail. Still out of sync
It appears that because the location sound has a different start time in the merged clip than the video, FCP is getting confused about what to do with it.
I've been successful with this method before, but the last time I had matched TC on the cameras. For some reason making the multiclip using the IN point for sync isn't working this time.
Anyone encounter this and have a work around or solution?

ITunes does not read audio track info from CD burned with Toast 10 Titanium

I cannot get iTunes on my Mac laptop to read the CD text that I type when I burn an audio disc on Toast 10.0.7. This is true, even though I choose the Toast option "Add CD Text." I have to re-enter the info into iTunes, duplicating the effort I put into naming the tracks and artists in Toast. Even after doing all this, however, the track icons within the disc icon on the desktop will not reflect the iTunes info. When I click ""Get Info" for the disc, its says "You can only read" under the "Sharing & Permissions" section. How can I fix this? Is this a Toast issue or a Mac/iTunes issue?

It is an iTunes issue. iTunes can write CD text when it burns a CD, but is not capable of reading CD Text from a CD.
If you want to see a list of ripping tools that can read CD Text, refer to this Wikipedia article. If you don't have time to read it, here is a summary: almost every ripping tool can read CD Text, except iTunes.

CUT & PASTE AUDIO TRACK

I can't seem to select the track properly of where I want the CUT audio track to PASTE. I keeps pasting the additional track on top of one alteady there. If I copy a track from A1 & A2, how can I paste it to A5 & A6? Thanks

If I copy a track from A1 & A2, how can I paste it to A5 & A6?
You'll have to toggle off the Auto Select controls for tracks A1 thru A4 because ever since FCP 4.1, the copy & paste function uses Auto Select to set its target(s).
(That's opposed to the Destination tracks that standard [Insert/Overwrite] editing functions use)
(And yes, this is one of those annoying FCP quirks)

Break in audio track

I have tried three times to compile a DVD of a slide show with two audio tracks made into a playlist. When I preview the completed slideshow before burning it runs as I want it to but at precisely the same point in all of the 3 slideshows (they have a different iTunes playlist which suggests to me that it is not the audio track?) I have burned to disk, there is a momentary break in the audio which spoils the finished product. Each time I have used the same type of DVD, should I use another from a different box in case there is something wrong with the whole lot? Or is it something to do with the iPhoto image that is at that place in the slide show? Can anyone help please?

My problem is that I'm checkerboarding a discussion; lowering the level on the person who isn't speaking when they're silent. Changes to volume aren't likely to be global but to follow the back and forth of the discussion. Someone who's excited might interject at a high volume then lower that volume when they have the floor. That adjustment in volume often spans a cut from one camera to another. Ideally, the audio track would be continuous and not chopped up into little pieces. I'm beginning to think that the only solution is to detach the audio.

Is there a way to decipher what chords are being used in an audio track?

I use logic pro x software and I was looking at this piece of audio. It's a synth lead and I wanted to create a bass to go with it however it's hard to work out the chords used so I was wondering if there are any add ons or something that can tell me what chords are used in the audio track. Im looking for something kind of like the BMI counter but for chord recognition. Can anyone help me! if not would anyone be able to decipher them for me? thanks

Not that i am aware of.. Not for Audio tracks.. Midi tracks yes, Audio no....
However there are 3rd party apps/websites that might do the job....

No audio track with AVCHD files (shot on Panasonic HMC-70)

I've read quite a few treads and cannot figure this out. I have a standalone version of Premiere CC 7.0.0 (342) installed in my computer lab at school.
I tested the software with a creative cloud trial and AVCHD files worked fine.
This version does not show audio tracks in files dragged in from Media Browser (as suggested here: Audio and Video glitches | AVCHD footage)
It also will not import/transcode audio with Prelude or Media Encoder. Video works fine.
I have FCPX and Compressor installed. Both playback/transcode the file with no issue. Is there a solution for Premiere/Prelude/Encoder?

I tried renaming the folders, like all of them.
Not working.
The file path looks like this: Card:private/AVCHD (show package contents)/BDMV (show package contents)/STREAM/00000.MTS
I would think there would be a native format in Premiere for popular Panasonic cameras.

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.

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!

Multicam clips with multiple audio tracks

Hi,
If I wanted to use a multicam clip to cut between the video, but instead of a single audio track I wanted two audio tracks to be audible all the way through (say from 2 mics) with the ability to mix them, how could I accomplish this? Would I need to handle the audio seperately in the timeline and sync manually?
Thanks

Thanks - the podcasts were very helpful, but I am still not sure about my specific question.
With a multiclip, you can cut audio only, but within an angle I can only have one clip right? Perhaps I need to first make a synchronized clip with all the audio that I want to mix for the whole multiclip, and add that compound clip to an angle. I then keep the audio on that angle all the way through, cut video only between whatever angles I want, but then open the compound clip containing the audio to do the mixing.
Is there a way to have two clips in one angle (one on top of the other)?
If anyone has a good workflow for what I want to achieve, please let me know.
Thanks

Multicam editing with multi-track audio?

Does anyone know how to do multicam editing with multi-track audio? Apparently, the multicam editor can only see Audio Track #1 in the Source Sequence. I tried mixing my original audio tracks #1, #2, and #3 (submixes) to the master audio track in the Source Sequence and if I listen to the new Multicam Sequence (the nested Source Sequence) all 3 original audio tracks are there (combined), but when I go to do the multicam edit in the multicam monitor window, I"m back to just Audio Track #1 of the Source Sequence and audio tracks #2 and #3 are missing ??? Thanks for your help!

I have run the gambit of different techniques. The one that is most efficient is listed in Colin Brougham's response number 9
There's a far easier way to do this: after you sync your angles, hold down Alt/Opt and select or lasso just the video portions of the clips, and nest those. The audio stays put, but the video moves into the nest, and you can then enable Multicam on the nested sequence.
One of the best things about this is that it circumvents Premiere Pro's totally BS "Render Required Files" nonsense.
I must admit the ALT lasso tip was one of the best features I have seen. Like a revelation when I discovered it some months ago while watching a tutorial about something not related. As far as the "Rendering required files" That was kicking my but for a while doing multicam editing. If you do edit both audio and video in multicam you might find the "Rendering required files" issue. Basically the problem stems from having a lot of cuts to process at the same time both audio and video. 1080P is a huge amount of data when you multiply it by four cameras plus multiple audio cuts and effects ,(audio gain, Deessing etc.) So Pre-rendering the audio by clicking in the main sync timeline and then at the top Click Sequence/Render Audio.This takes care of the issue when you are cutting multiple tracks at once. It is a good practice to work from a main sync sequence and then copy that to a new sequence preserving the main sequence as unchanged. I found the solution is to "render audio" only in the master sync sequence this will then pass through to all subsequent copies that are made "downstream" allowing you to easily clean up anything. If you make a mistake you can always start from the main sync sequence and not lose too much time. Takes a little bit of time to render but once that is done you can cut all tracks video and audio like butter. I have been doing a lot of 1080p multicam editing over this past year and had quite learning curve. Most of the work I do is multicam editing by choice it is much faster for me to edit this way because I am used to working in live events where we need to look at all shots at the same time make a "best choice" and keep rolling. Have fun with it!

Cutting audio while in Multicam mode

I did my first video interview of 4 teachers this week. I recorded the audio on an external recorder but saved the entire audio on a single file. I have 4 separate video files. I was able to get the audio to sync in multicam mode with the 4 interviews. Out of 24 minutes of audio I only need maybe 5 minutes of key statements made by the teachers. However, I cannot seem to cut the master audio track. When I press B to cut I get a separator with a red slash across it. I am a newbie but am really enjoying learning. Help!

B with my machine shows your red separator with red slash through it
that is not cut, that is the Ripple edit tool telling you there is no ripple to edit (until you hit an edit point)
cut is razor, which is C on my machine
