Video only editing of multi cam clips… is it possible?
-
Try it. Use the noise reduction function in the angle editor. It will completely spoil the the project every time.

Yup.
Wonder if it’s just as bad if you apply filters to all the clips in the timeline?

Exactly. My point is that why would you want your audio cut into little pieces if it’s actually continuous. On multi cam editing, I always mix my audio and adjust my audio levels first, then I perform my camera switches. From here on out, I’m going to separate my audio.
Extending the audio from the first clip is clunky. If I remove a portion of the video to tighten up the timeline, I’ll need to do a lot of monkeying with the audio to get it connected.
Looks like this boy’s going to use separated audio, and just be very very careful about not losing my sync. I think keeping the audio embedded in the clips with the volume turned down, in case I need to re-establish my sync.
This will also help you avoid the clicking that can happen when you cut from one audio with an effect to another.
Either way, you’ll be happier avoiding the audio slices that happen when you change camera angles. Until the FCP guys come up with a better way to handle this.

Honestly, this is much less an issue than people think it is. I almost never, and I do mean never, errantly grab audio connected clips and move them. But if you’re worried about it, I suggest you place a marker on the clip your audio is connected to, and again on the audio itself (at the same point). Then if you do lose sync by some chance, you can resync with a simple drag and snap to marker.

I kind of miss move/slip into sync for those moments when you do choose to detach audio.
I’d also like the option of reattaching it if at some later point I want to.
I know I can create a CC but it’ a bit convoluted for me.
