Hi Juan,

Other Andy here. As you want to use two different audio recordings for your source, the best way I can see this working is to import the second track and manually align the sync to the first track, but not under your multicam clip.

Instead I would go to the angle editor, select one of the two audio tracks that you want to use, then select “Open in timeline” and open it. Then drag the other audio track that you want to use into the timeline underneath the first track. Then manually sync them.

When I edit two separate audio channel recordings I sweeten the sound and make any other adjustments in the opened timeline, as above (ie. in the opened timeline within the angle editor).

When recording wide dynamic range speech that needs to be heard on the small speakers of mobile devices (such as multiple speakers during church sermons, using a hand mic and a lapel mic) my favourite filters are the Gain (which if needed, I add first, but I only if I need more than the 20db of gain, that the following filter provides). I then add the Limiter filter, which provides a maximum of 20db of gain. With the right settings, this compresses the audio beautifully.

At this stage I also mute any sections of audio that contain unwanted stuff, such as room echo, coughs, babies crying etc. This completes the audio sweetening and when I go to the multicam clip to edit the video I don’t have to do anything more to the sound.

I learned this from Larry Jordan’s training videos. Hope it is useful.

Hi,

This is just a long-shot but when I upgraded to 10.0.6 some of the new features didn’t work as there were supposed to so I thought it might have been caused by having to upgrade six times (10.0.0 to 10.0.6).

I properly uninstalled my much-upgraded version of FCP X (including the various settings files) and reinstalled 10.0.6 as a new install and guess what, the software glitches had gone.

If you can’t find the answer to the syncing problem, maybe this will work for you.

Andy

Thanks

I don’t know if you have found a solution for this yet? I have the same problem and found this works…

Select only the file from camera 1 in the Event Library and create a multi clip. In the Multiclip editor, add another Angle then drag the file from camera 2 in the Event Library onto the new and empty Angle in the Angle Editor. This way you have forced the video files to be on different tracks.

Now you can sync camera 2 with camera 1 using either the audio waveform or the marker option.

I hope that helps.

Thanks
