Syncing external audio in FCP – can’t get levels to show.
Ok. So I recorded a quick test vid with the 7D.
Hit record on 7D
Hit record on Zoom H4nClapped twice in beginning
clapped twice in end.Stopped 7D
Stopped Zoom H4nI took the CF card out of the 7D and SD card out of the Zoom and copied the files. Then, I dropped those files straight into FCP.
Now, when I go into FCP, how can I get the audio levels to show in the timeline? I’m trying to sync them with the clap spikes, but they don’t show. The audio levels just show a flat line. I know I can double-click the audio file to open it up in the viewer, but I want to be able to do this from the timeline so it’s easy to sync the two tracks.
What am I doing wrong? I’m slowly re-learning FCP after having used Sony Vegas for a couple years and I forgot how to do this.
