Why isn't my Multicam audio syncing?

I already have a project created all the settings finished. An apple assistant helped me with that but furthermore when I cut up an interview im doing and switch between 2 angles the audio becomes unsynced. I figured out a way to detach the audio and do it that way but I would like to have an easier tip to get these projects to the clients fast.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5

Since it sounds like you want Angle 1 to act as the master, I'd sync Angle 2 to Angle 1. A couple ways to do this.


Programmatically:

In the Angle Editor, set Angle 1 as the monitoring angle. (Click the video monitor icon at the left of the angle.) Angle 1 should now have the grey outline around it.

Then, in Angle 2, click the popup menu to the left of the speaker icon and choose "Sync to monitoring angle"


Manually:

In the Angle Editor, enable audio for both Angle 1 and 2 so you can hear them both (the little speaker icons in each angle). Then with Angle 2 selected, hit the spacebar to begin playing and use the "," and "." keys to nudge Angle 2 earlier or later by one frame. Adding the shift key will nudge by 10 frames.


Be aware that any changes you make to a multicam will be reflected in any projects where it's used.


(Normally I link to Apple's support docs but I'm not able to connect to them for some reason.)

Double-click a multicam clip to step into the angle editor and post a screen shot. Are you positive that the two angles are 100% sync'd? I can imagine if you initially cut between the angles with both video and audio, then wanted to change the audio to be just from one angle, if the angles were not properly sync'd it would show up as out of sync audio.

(Sorry, I just noticed in my earlier post I said to the left of the speaker icon. I meant to say to the right.)



Since it seems as though you're new to FCP, I'd highly recommend a few free tutorials to help you quickly get up to speed.
