Cannot scrub audio after clip is synced
I am having a problem with the audio syncing function in FCPX. I captured external audio then imported the audio then used the sync function. Audio lined up perfect.
My problem is this: The audio clip I used is much longer than the video clips. Thus the synced clip it creates is as long as the original audio file but only has video in the appropriate spot. When I scrub over the video to select a range I cannot hear audio. When I pull the video to the timeline I can hear all the audio, all is well. However because I can’t scrub the audio it makes it impossible to select sound bytes I actually need.
I cannot for the life of me figure this out?! As I’m learning with FCPX the answer is probably somewhere right under my nose and I will feel foolish once I see what it is. Someone please shed some light on this. Im under a deadline and Im still fumbling through fcpx. Thanks!Rory Taylor

That sounds like an issue I’ve been having that’s got to be a bug. It’s really horrible, totally kills an organizing session. We were trying to figure it out in this thread, but I never figured out a workaround:

Try turning the sync’d clips into compound clips. (Then keyword the cc.)

So when I create a compound clip it allows me to scrub the audio. That was my main problem. However now when I bring my compound clip into the timeline and open the audio adjustments in the inspector It doesn’t show the external Audio. It only shows the camera audio which defeats the whole purpose of syncing clips at all.
So frustrating. Any Ideas? -
[Rory Taylor] “It doesn’t show the external Audio.”
The audio side of X is a bit tricky. What happens when you click the audio and then in the inspector show all the details? Usually, you can see all the tracks and which ones are checked.
When you make the compound clip, you’ll want to select everything that will be the compound clip. You will need to shift-click select the video and the on-board mic, plus additional audio channels — everything! that is going to be in the cc.
