  Narrative feature – Final Cut audio timeline layout

  Posted by Alex Olinger on June 26, 2012 at 12:02 pm

  Hi there,

  I`ve been starting to move up to being assistant editor on narrative features using 8 channels of production sound running at a time. (Past experience is primarily in documentaries).

  For those with prior experience, when working with a larger amount of tracks in a narrative Final Cut timeline, how do you tend to organize your audio tracks?

  I had been thinking of this sort of layout:

  A1 – A16 = (Production sound tracks, A9 – A16 for dialogue overlaps)

  A17 – A24 = (Room Tone. Lower this track amount to four?)

  A25 – A30 = (temp SFX, gun shots, explosions, voiceovers, etc)

  A30 – A34 = (Music)

  If anyone had any suggestions, or could give me an outline of how they layout their audio tracks in Final Cut for narrative work, I`d really appreciate it.

  Thanks
