  Moving a single audio track without effecting video/linked tracks

  Posted by Mark Erickson on February 13, 2008 at 6:04 pm

  My usual situation:
  Interview clip with video track 1/ Audio tracks 1 & 2 (linked/stereo)
  Move second audio to track 4 without affecting video and remaining audio track on 1.

  I could unlink but I might loose sync. Any thoughts?

  And why does video jump tracks when I pull audio tracks around?

  I wouldn’t worry about it unsyncing. Final cut will warn you when your A/V are no longer sync by telling you how much the off sync is on the clip in red.

  But if you just want 1 & 4 tracks being used, just set the Audio Track Activation tabs on the left of the timeline, (labeled A1 and A2) and clamp them onto track 1 and 4. Now when you insert or overwrite the clip onto the time line, the audio should split in those two tracks.
