Copy/paste clips between sequences. Audio levels not joining the ride.
I’ve got one sequence in 23.98 which i want to bring into a sequence that’s 59.94. So, I copy what I want in from the first sequence, then paste it into the second.
The video is fine, but any audio keyframe where i adjusted the levels don’t get pasted into the 59.94 sequence. I mean, they are there, but none of their adjustments are present. Some levels even drop to -inf.
Ideas?

Is this a 23.976 project that needs to be laid off 59.94? I learned that earlier, that the keyrames don’t copy over. If this is indeed your workflow, maybe mine will help you. Due to earlier editing decisions, our program is cut at 23.976 but needs to be laid off at 59.94 to preserve the fluidity of motion for the betacam stock footage, and DVD evidence footage that our show very frequently uses.
We do our leveling and mix entirely in Final Cut, and before everybody jumps on me that FCP is not the program to do this, believe you me, there isn’t a person who agrees with you more than me, but that’s what was decided so that’s how it is. That said, I do my mix in my 23.976 sequence and upres the show to 720 23.976. Once that’s all done, the program is exported and laid into a 720 59.94 sequence with all my betacam and DV footage manually cut on top. I split those to their own tracks to make this process quick. Finally lay in the M & E stems, underneath and layoff. I’ve been delivering our program this way and no complaints yet.
