Multicam audio mixing
I have a multicam clip consisting of 3 angles. Each angle has 2 audio tracks.
I would like to edit the multiclip video on the timeline showing all 6 audio tracks. The audio would not follow video. I would like to mix the audio separate, on the same timeline.
Right now I can only see 2 audio tracks, although the multicam setup shows 2 for each angle.
How do I make FCP show me all 6 audio tracks under the video?

If you add four more audio tracks and 2 more video tracks you can drag the associated camera onto a different video track and the audio will go to the audio track associated with the video track. Video track one will have audio track 1&2. Video track two will have audio 3&4 and video track three will use audio track 5&6. Later you can consolidate the video tracks to one (or not – I output a QT movie of the finished product and put that to tape or DVD so I have no dropped frames). I’m sure there may be simpler ways but this works for me.

What I have done is after finding the sync points for clips, stack them on the timeline, as if you were NOT going to multiclip them..in this case 3 vid and 6 audio tracks all synced up. (preferably with markers or inpoints showing the sync points)
Then make a multiclip using just video- not audio- and put the multiclip on the timeline, replacing the 3 video tracks with one multiclip, not affecting the 6 audio tracks. Cant remember offhand if I locked the audio tracks during multiclip editing but I dont think so. I think the cuts affect video only and you can edit audio by hand as you wish.Hope this helps
