what’s the quickest workaround for Multicam audio?
DEAR GOD!, I just spent the better part of my day doing a manual workaround to multicam audio in FCPX… Her’s the basic scenario, Every year, we do a set of two to three 3-hour+ mock trials at a law school. I use two and sometimes three cameras for each trial. I record audio from a house mix in one channel and a shot gun mic on the other channel in my “A” camera. “B” camera has its own shotgun mic. When I brought the video into FCPX, I created a multicam clip and just sync everything automatically. Cutting the multicam clip was fairly smooth, but once I got to the audio portion, I could have just kick myself. I wanted to open the “A” camera clip up in the timeline and break apart the clip items, but the option is greyed out. So I decided to go back to the original clips and break apart the clip items that way and then manually sync each clips audio up with the cut multicam clip. This process took me too long for 6 hours worth of material! I figure there’s an easier and quicker way to accomplish this. What have you all found works bets for duel-channel audio for Multicam.
A separate issue is that my boss seems to think that multicam takes too long. I don’t understand his logic. I also don’t think he’s used multicam more than one or two times.

Thanks for looking into this for me, but that particular method doesn’t really work for what i need to do. I failed to mention that I need to duplicate both channels twice so that I have a channel for each speaker. It does make things a tad complicated, but hey we all live for the challenge don’t we?
