FCPX multicam syncing and editing with multiple audio and multiple video tracks

[Michael Williams]

Hi Chris,

Just a couple of clarifying questions.

“I select all video and audio files in the browser and create a multicam clip, relying on audio syn from the camera mic.

”

Is this using sync to angle, to specify the camera’s angle?

” For some reason I get a very slight echo from the lav mic but the other mics are ok. Now, this is the bazaar part, if I drag just the audio clips into the timeline there is NO echo”

So are there four audio files then, the audio is separated from the camera’s video?

Also, what is the audio sampling rate on the four audio sources? Are they all 48K?

[Chris Knight] “For some reason I get a very slight echo from the lav mic but the other mics are ok.”

Then I’d say one of your audio tracks is simply that little bit out of sync with whatever other audio is playing. Shouldn’t simply deactivating e.g. the camera’s audio fix it? You don’t want them ALL playing ALL the time, do you?

[Chris Knight] “And I’m not sure how to make audio syn better once the a multicam clip has been created”

Simply DRAG? Or select any given track and hit comma/period to move one frame left/right. Hold the OPTION key and comma/period will move the audio by 1/80th of a frame in either direction.
