  how to change track number on audio clip?

  Posted by Rhitu Basu on January 30, 2009 at 4:26 pm

  Gods of Avid –

  I had a 4 channel (4 mics) audio clip that was recorded at 48KHz when it should have been recorded at 48.048 for syncing with film footage. So the clip was resampled in Protools, which spits out 4 files – one for each track. Problem is, when I import into Avid, all the tracks are marked as track A1. This means I can’t autosync them to my one video file. Avid ends up ‘grouping’ the audio files into one track, giving precedence to one of the channels. So my question is, is there a way to change the track number attribute on an audio clip? Update: I did a right-click/modify on the audio clip but the option to modify the track number gave an error saying it is a master clip and can’t be changed. Any ideas what to do? I have to change that darned track number …

  Thank you,
  -Rhitu.

  next time you should try an AAF from Pro Tools with the tracks.

  Try this:

  Edit each track into a sequence with the order that you want 1-4. Make sure all tracks are of the same duration.

  Go to the sequence in the bin and highlight. Then do an AutoSync. Sequence should become a subclip.

  Yes, that is what I ended up doing. For future reference – what’s AFF?

  Thanks for your repsonse.
