Issues with Rippling and audio coming with Video
Hello everyone, my company has just switched over from smoke to FCP. I have been pioneering the use of FCP here for about a year now and a lot of the smoke guys who are switching over have questions and a few complaints. One of them, which I don’t have an answer for is the way rippling works.
In smoke audio and video is treated separately when rippling. In final cut you are constantly dealing with clip collisions and having to lock tracks to avoid this.
I realize you can use shift-f5 and f4 to lock all audio or video, but this is an extra step and a bit of a pain. I do agree with them on this. Is there any way or setting to change the way FCP handles rippling? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

if your audio is not sync, then just keep the tracks locked,
otherwise FCP will assume you want to keep things in sync and ripple audio with pic.nick

I realize you can do it this way, but it is a bit of a pain to have to lock things. I wish it was a preference. No one else knows of anything like this?

a pain? that seems a bit extreme!
no preference to change this in FCP.
as i said, if the show is ALL non-sync, cant you keep the tracks locked all the time?BTW, if you do have linked picture & sound, and need to tweak one without the other,
OPTION select on pic or sound will select just those edits,
or SHIFT L will turn off linking in the timeline altogethernevertheless this wont help you when rippling
next best thing to make it less painfull would be to re-map the lock functions.
i;ve got mine mapped to :
CONTROL + number pad 1-8 = lock video track
CONTROL + number pad zero = lock all or none video tracksCONTROL OPTION + number pad 1-8 = lock audio track
CONTROL OPTION + number pad zero = lock all or none audio tracks.i was cutting a show with multitrack audio last year,
and found myself locking and unlocking all the time.
it was a totally transparent aspect of my workflow,
and i know the re-map helped.cheers,
