Cannot slip individual audio track to correct phase in FCP
When recording talent using multiple microphones at different distances, audio is out of phase.
This project used a lav on the talent's chest and a shotgun overhead:
FCP does not allow a user to slip an individual audio track to correct phase, neither while attached nor detached from the video clip. While attached, audio tracks will not slip independently of the video clip. But even when detached, each audio track won't slip independently of each other.
My current workaround is to insert the clip into the timeline three times; once as a video clip alone, and then once for each audio track. I can then create a compound clip and slip each standalone audio clip within the compound to match phase.
If there are any Apple engineers on this thread, PLEASE fix this issue!
Being able to slip a single audio track within a clip would save me hours of
- inserting
- detaching
- unselecting audio tracks
- re-inserting clips
- unselecting audio tracks
- re-selecting audio tracks
- and grouping
...every single clip in my production.
