Can you shift your audio track by felids in FCP?
Hi,
I have 4 tracks of audio,
1&2- Stereo mix
3- Mono Voice over
4- M&E Only.I have exports from an audio suite of each of these. I am working 8 bit uncompressed and Upper Field first. All of the Exports are the same- 48 KHZ- 16 bit.
So the stereo mix goes on to the video- Perfect sync.
Track 3 goes down. However it seems like the track is in between frames.
I can move the audio 1 frame forward or back but there is still an echo when synced to the stereo. Also it seems like the track is a field in front or behind the stereo. Can you? and indeed how can you move the audio by field not frame?any help would be really appreciated.

Hi
You can slip an audio track around by tiny fractions of a frame – but the in-point of an audio clip always has to start at the beginning of the video frame.So to make a point half way through a frame slip a bit to start at the beginning of the frame just open the clip in the Viewer, zoom in so you can see the whole frame’s waveform, then hold down the Shift key to allow the Playhead to be dragged to the exact waveform you need at the start of the frame.
Once the Playhead is at the correct point select an In-point, and the audio track will re-align as required.

If you need to look this up in the user manual, it is called sub-frame editing.
