Replace a clip with a new version
Hi, I’m wondering if there is a way to replace a clip with a new version and have all the different ranges and edits used in the project update automatically. (Similar to how one would link a psd in an ai or indesign file, then edit/resave the source psd after the fact and the updates automatically show up in the ai/indesign file).
Long story: Now that I’ve done a bunch of editing on a long clip of a guy doing a seminar I decided to try improving the absolutely dismal audio in Adobe Audition. After applying some hard limiting, voice levelling, normalizing with more precision and better results than I think i could get inside FCPX… I imported the resulting wave file and created a compound clip from the original video file with the new audio. So far so good, except now I’m trying to figure out the best way to replace the original clip with the compound clip without having to search and find all the ranges and replace them in the timeline one by one.
I probably should have just dealt with the audio in Audition before doing anything in FCPX but I wasn’t sure if this clip was going to be used at all and thought I could handle it with FCP audio tools.
One thing I haven’t tried is exporting the compound clip as a mov file, rename it to the same as the original file, delete the original file from the library, then “relink” to the new file… is that the correct way to do this?
Thanks!
