YIKES–Can anyone help me fix a digitizing mistake FAST? :)
BIG DUMB PROBLEM!
I just digitized three hours worth of content without audio… In the clip settings my last project didn’t need audio from the tapes and then I started a new project and FCP retained the setting change… So is there anyway to “bacth RE-capture” with the audio?
So far I can’t figure out how to do this. If I change anything about the clip settings in the log in capture window it wants it to be a whole new clip too. I’m almost to the point due to a deadline that I need to relog and then recapture everything and give up on trying to figure out the trick to batch capture the same clips BUT WITH AUDIO…
Can anyone help ASAP?
Thanks!

Right click a clip in the browser and choose clip settings, select the proper audio channels and recapture. I think you can select multiple/many clips and change them all at the same time.
Happy digitizing.

Highlight your clip in the browser and hit “shift-d” and choose to put the clip in the trash. Then you should be able to control click in the audio column and change the setting. If not, you might have to open the log and capture window, paste your media start and media end into the In and Out (copy them from the offline clip in your browser) and go to the clip settings tab in your log and cap window and choose the appropriate audio setting, then hit F2 or ‘log clip,’ delete the old clip and capture the new one.
Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the fast responses! What a resource this community is.
So if I right click on a clip in the browser it says “No items have files that are applicable to this application.”
Am I doing what you suggested?
So far the best I’ve been able to do is drag the clip into the log and capture window and add audio in the clip settings. It still wants me to rename it and make a new clip but atleast I don’t have to re log and I can batch capture at that point.
So this is what I’m trying unless someone has another suggestion for applying to all the clips an add audio to the clip setting command.
thanks again CC!

oh wait!
if you make the media offline first then I can access the clip settings.
i think this is going to do it!
Thanks again,

I’m sorry, I’m not in front of an FCP machine right now. i think the media needs to be offline. Select a clip to test, make it offline (select the option to move it to the trash), now right click and choose clip settings. If that works select three clips and amke them offline and choose clip settings. then tye and change those three at once. If that works, select them all, make them all offline and change the clip settings.
make sense?

A real easy way to do this is simply make all your digitized media offline.
Open your Log and Capture Window. Turn on Video and Audio with the proper amount of channels in the Clip Setting.
Now click “Batch”, tell it “All Offline Material” and UN-Check “Use Logged Clip Settings.”
This forces FCP to use the current L&C Capture Settings which will be video and audio.

Ah, cool. That’s definitely less clunky. Thanks for the tip!

It seems to me I exported an edl and then re captured that with the audio “on” and it worked fine. That was back in fcp2 and I’ve never done that again…
