I have found the Hands-on-Training site from http://www.lynda.com to be most useful. Larry Jordan’s “Final Cut Pro 5” is published by lynda.com, and is my primary desk reference book. It comes with a DVD of exercise files and training videos. Explanations are written in a way that doesn’t bore the advanced editor, but also doesn’t desert, confuse, or insult the beginner. I have also found Larry to be a helpful and prompt source of email support when I hit a wall and am against a deadline… and his fee is very reasonable. I have also attended one of his live seminars, and it was also quite helpful… just not quite long enough!

I’ve used Multiclip for a couple of projects, and really do love it. But I need to better understand what it is doing to my audio. I shoot school plays and dance recitals too, and can rarely ever count on getting an acceptable audio feed from a sound board or mixer. So to get the richest sound possible, I’d like to mix together all the audio tracks from all three of my cameras.

Has anyone worked with Multiclip enough to have figured out how to do this? I have read around and can’t seem to find anything specific on this.

I know I can (and have) selected the option to only cut video when editing in Multiclip, but when I do that, and subsequently collapse the Multiclip timeline for export to QuickTime, I find that my audio sounds very hollow and tinny, as though it is coming from only one of my cameras… and my worst-quality camera at that! I think if I was hearing all my audio, the sound would be much more robust, having been captured from all the speakers around the hall.

Thanks for any ideas.
