change default to “link” and “stereo pair”?
Hey there,
Recently, I’ve noticed that as soon as I bring a clip into the timeline, the audio automatically disconnects from the video, even if I check “link.” Also, I find myself wishing that “stereo pair” were the default setting. It’s annoying to have to select and click the option everytime I want to adjust volume. I looked in “Preferences” but couldn’t find the option anywhere.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I don’t believe there is a default setting for audio. Whether the audio comes in as a stereo pair or two mono tracks depends entirely on how the audio (along with the video) was captured in the log and capture window. In that window if the two circles are linked then you’re telling FCP to capture as a stereo pair. If the circles are not linked then it’s dual mono.
As for your other issue of audio becoming unlinked from the video when putting it into a track: make sure your track selection tabs are correctly attached to the tracks you want everything to go to. Then drag the clip from the browser or viewer into the canvas and choose: “over write.”
If that doesn’t solve it try trashing the FCP preference files. Usually when FCP starts behaving “poorly” most folks will trash the preferences and then have another go at it. Other than that I can’t think of anything else at the moment that would cause this to happen. If the video and audio were captured together then they should stay linked when dropped into a track.
