  • Paste video – bring back my audio

    Posted by Oren Hercz on November 13, 2012 at 12:32 pm

    Hi folks,

    Pretty basic question here. If I edit video only into the timeline. Is there any way to get back the audio later? This function is basically useless to me if you can’t because I often like to edit without audio on broll, but then bring back any sync sound when it comes time to do the mix.

    Otherwise, I’m stuck doing it the old-fashioned way.

    Match frame and drop clip back on as in FCP7, or you could multi-select all your Broll clips in the browser and drop the audio to zero before you start the edit, then pull the levels back up as needed later, which is what I do.

    I echo Steve’s post. Only addition is that, instead of dropping audio down, you can also turn it off in the audio info pane. Then turn it back on when ready to edit audio.

    With the clip in question selected, hit shift-f, shift-r as fast as you can hit the keys.
