  Newbie question regarding audio in FCP 4.5

  Posted by Pierre on November 15, 2005 at 12:15 am

  While shooting I had a lav mic in channel 1 and a camera mounted mic on channel 2.
  The lav mic is distorting badly in areas, but the shotgun mic is fine. I’ve already cut the footage into the sequenc. How do I get the audio from “A1” to be in “A2” as well?
  I’ve tried to cut and paste… it won’t let me.

  Help please!

  thanks

  [Michael Pierre] “I’ve tried to cut and paste… it won’t let me.”

  Well, it WILL let you.
  You first need to select (highlight) the audio clips and make sure they are NOT a “Stereo Pair”:
  Modify (menu) > Stereo Pair (UN-Check this).

  Next, delete the clips on A2 (Lav mic) by selecting them and hitting the delete key.

  Then, highlight an A1 clip, and HOLD DOWN both the SHIFT and OPTION keys, while you “drag” that clip down to A2.
  FCP will leave the original clip on A1 and create ANOTHER copy of it on A2.
  Done.
