Recapture Footage With More Audio Channels
Hi all–
I’m coming onto a documentary that’s been in post for awhile. We’re trying to figure out what’s the best way to recapture footage with more audio channels. Here’s the situation:
We originally captured some DVCPRO 150 footage in Final Cut with two audio channels, even though the footage was recorded with six. After some editing (a lot, actually) the editor wants to now recapture the same footage with all six discrete audio channels.
My thought would be to unlink the current media, then doing a batch capture of the six-channel audio footage. Will this cause any major problems? Will the new footage relink properly to the two-channel footage? My gut says “no”; any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Even if it does, those extra channels have not been cut into your timeline. If you want to add these extra channels into your edit, you’ll have to cut them in one at a time.
