I’d be really curious to hear any solutions to this as I have a similar situation.

There are a few ways to tell its writing the audio to the file. First, it takes a few minutes to write the file. Second, the file is over 100MB. And third, and most clearly, if you open the file in Quicktime and go to Window->Show movie properties, you can select the Sound Track and go to the Resources tab on the bottom and see which files it is referencing. For the Video Track it lists all the raw capture files. For the audio, its only lists the exported file.

Its not that its necessarily a problem. I just want to make sure that my audio isnt getting altered at all. I’m doing a multicam edit and the cameras got turned off and on so I lined them all up in a timeline and I’m then exporting each camera out, with black spaces when the camera was turned off so I’ll have one movie for each camera that is timed accurately for the multicam. I just want to be sure that the audio I’m editing with is the raw audio and hasnt been mixed down or altered in any way.
In the back of my mind somewhere I have a memory of an older version of FInal Cut allowing audio references. And if you were to put two movies together inside quicktime and save it as a reference movie, it would work right. So I really dont understand why final cut does it this way. The way the video works is that it references the original video until an effect has been applied or a dissolve is added and then it embeded just that altered video into the Quicktime file. The audio could certainly act the same way.
