  • Unable to mute video track in compound clip

    Posted by Ovidio Balthasar on June 13, 2013 at 5:07 pm

    Hello,

    I’m working with a timeline full of compound clips. Each compound clip contains a video track with the camera audio and a separate audio track with the boom mic recording.

    When I double click on a compound clip to edit it, the video track is muted and it sounds great. However, when I go back to the main timeline, both the camera audio and boom play together and it sounds terrible. Anyone know what’s happening here?

    Not sure why the change to the ‘parent’ compound clip isn’t carrying through but is there a reason you aren’t just disabling the camera track using the audio properties of the version on the timeline rather than opening the compound clip? …or you could expand the audio components and turn off the unwanted track that way?
