Multiclip audio question

[Andrew Maslen]

Quite a few different ways I’ve seen on here to achieve this, but here’s my workflow.

I still use Pluraleyes, as it seems to do a better job than FCPX’s built in Sync.
Once Pluraleyes as done its stuff, it imports all assets into fcpx into a project giving me the ability to assign separate roles to the audio tracks I want to use. Then export separate roles for each audio track (just one step required). Re-import these tracks back into fcpx. Drag the multi-clip that pluraleyes created into a new project, drag the separate audio roles beneath. Multiclip with separate editable audio. I also set the multiclip audio to camera scratch to compare before dropping audio level before exporting.

You could use “synchronize clips” again to sync your multicam clip (consisting of the two synchronized clips) to the audio clip. Then go into the angle editor and turn off the audio, in the inspector pane, for each of the multicam angles. Then bring that into a new timeline, giving you a multicam clip with detached audio as a connected clip. You could make that into a compound clip so it’s easy to cut without losing sync and go into the compound to edit audio and switch angles, but I fear the project bloat and avoid compound clips for anything that needs lots of cuts.
