    Hello!

    I’m doing a lot of multigrouping for a current job – keeping both camera audio and external audio. Just want to know if there’s a quick way to switch the audio to the external tracks. At the moment I’m going through each group and manually change each track, which can eat up a lot of time as well as being pretty tedious.

    Cheers!

    Dan.

    When you create the Groups, it assumes the top-most item is the most important. So, if you’re able to group your External Audio above the Cameras, it will default to that when you create the group.

    I like to call my audio the take name, i.e. A-1, and give the camera(s) a letter designation, i.e. A-1c. Then, when I organize by Clip Name, the Audio is above all of the camera clips.

    You can re-name the clips after you’ve grouped, and the order will stay the same.

    (Side note, it also organizes the Cameras in the order they are in the bin. So if you have more than one camera, make sure they are in the order you want when you create the Group.)
