Audio interrupted when switching camera angles (help request)

I figured out my issue.

The primary clip I was using for audio had the Background Noise removal engaged. Apparently when you switch video it cause this to temporarily release and re-engage creating a very audible change in the sound when you switch clips. Disabling this is now causing the clips to switch with no audible change, however there is a lot of background noise in this shot.

Hope this helps others.

I think this describes my issue as well. Thank you for your investigation!

I had the background noise reduction enabled on the angle I was using for the multicam audio. I disabled that, and the volume adjustment I had made to the track, and now the full multicam clip with angle switching appears to be playing without audio interruptions.

I'm working on a possible work-around: In the Project Timeline, I took all of the "sub-clips" representing each new angle, and created a new compound clip containing all of them. I then applied the noise reduction to the compound clip. This appears to apply the noise reduction to the compound clip as a whole, instead of each individual angle cut, and therefore does not interrupt the audio on an angle cut.

Write back if it works for you.

Do you know if your media's sample rate matches the sample rate of your project? You can check these in the inspector on each clip in the Event Browser and then the project itself with the Project Library.

Same exact issue. I have a four camera interview I am trying to edit. The auto sync worked magically, but in Video Only mode it is still switching the audio. I have toggled. The green audio square stays in place, the timeline shows the white dotted lines on the audio track (indicating an edit but no cut per the manual).

Seems to be a bug that the Video Only switching is not working for some.

After closer inspection it is staying on the main audio track, but there is a very distinct audio interruption and in some cases even looks like the audio peaks for a split second.

The blade is what shows up when you hover over the angle windows, indicates a switch and cut i believe.

Wow, thanks Nathan. You're the first person I've come across who has had a solution that still allows for audio enhancements to be turned on. While still a workaround, your method works and solves the problem of this initial thread (it certainly helped me out). This should be marked "solved."

Did you set your audio angle first?

If not then...

1. Select "Audio Only"

2. Click on the angle wanted for your main audio

3. "Select "Video Only"

4. Commense with multicam.

Are you cutting or switching? Can you post a screen shot of the Angle Viewer and timeline?

Why are you using the blade tool on the multicam clip?

Can you post a screenshot close up of this? Anything you can tell us about your media, video and audio especially? I've tested multiple multicam clips and haven't had this.

Hey, it's 4 years later, and I had this same issue in the current FCP X, and your solution fixed it. Thank you! 🙂

Great news!

I am delighted I can still help someone. I hope your project goes well.

I'm tired where is this noise reduction thing found?
