  • Multicam clip and unsupported audio

    Hi,

    I’m editing a two angle multicam clip. Selected both clips and synced with audio. All fine so far. Dragged multicam clip into the timeline and chose view angles. All fine.

    Only trouble is there are 4 channels of audio. I only want one. Now I can select the clip and go to channels and deselect the audio channel I don’t want to use and just mute the other channel, but when I go to edit the multicam clip, the audio is only on one clip…so when I cut to the other clip – no audio.

    An easy solution to this would be to be able to detach the audio and just edit video. But this is grayed out. It isn’t an option.

    I’m at a loss then as to how to do this without detaching the audio file, rending out bringing back in as an audio file and doing the while process again…

    No, now at a complete loss…

    Exported just the audio, pulled it into the multicam clip and was hoping that would solve it, but when I turn audio off on the other clips, unless I select just the audio clip (with no visuals) I get no sound…

    This is so frustrating!! I can deselect the cut Visual and Audio to just Visual, which is fine and keeps the cuts to just visual, BUT it’s still got two channels EVEN THOUGH i’ve deselected one of the channels in the Multicam clip (browser in the timeline showing all multicam clips and how they are synced).

    There must be a way?

    OK finally solved it. Not very intuiative!

    You have to go in and first enable audio only editing, make the first cut at the beginning and then enable just video editing and make the rest of your cuts. Phew!
