Final Cut Pro Multicam Sound Glitches at Cuts When Using Audio Enhancements or Effects

Hey Everyone!


When I create a simple multicam clip using 2 camera clips and switch back and forth to each camera angle making cuts, I hear an audio glitch/blip at each cut. I'm only using the audio from one of the clips, which has the audio enhancements applied (like voice isolation and noise reduction), and simply switch back and forth to make my video cuts for each camera angle. When played in the timeline (or downloaded), there's an obvious audio blip at each cut.


When I remove noise reduction, it sounds fine. I can apply audio enhancements like voice isolation or loudness, but as soon as I add noise reduction or hum reduction, the blips can be heard at each cut.


I've tried applying the audio enhancements before making the multicam clip, OR applying audio enhancements in the angle editor on the specific clip (and disabling the other clip's audio), OR applying audio enhancements to the clips in the timeline, but it all sounds the same with the blips.


The two clips are using the same audio sample rate, same frame rate, etc. They sync perfectly in the multicam clip.


Has anyone else noticed this?

It seems to do it at pretty much any percentage for the noise reduction setting. I just tested the Noise Gate audio effect, Compressor, and some others and it does the same thing. It's like it drops offer right at the cut or skips the audio for a split second.


What's weird is why would the audio even be affected in a multicam edit when I'm only using the audio track from one clip? I'm just switching back and forth to cam 1 and cam 2 for video, but the audio is only from cam 1. When I play cam 1 in the angle editor (double-click the clip in timeline) it sounds fine, but when I go to the multicam edit in the timeline it blips at the cuts.

Hey Luis, I saw you and Tom both recommended this. It actually worked! Once I selected which angle would be the active audio angle, I detached the audio from the main multicam edit (note to anyone reading this in the future: I did not detach the audio from the video clip within the angle editor) and that worked perfectly. I was able to add any audio enhancement or effect and it doesn't affect the cuts between the video angles. Awesome! Thanks 🙌🏽
