I am trying to use the multicam option and i amusing it on 3 clips 2 videos which have audio also audio from one of the videos which i had detected. I am using the multicam option on the vids and audio but the audio is appearing on the same line as the video i had detached it from. How can I stop this from happening?? Sorry I haven't really used this before.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Can you please clarify? Maybe post screenshots.
What you are saying does not make much sense to me, but maybe I am misunderstanding. Detaching audio is something you might do in the timeline, whereas you create a multicam clip from clips in the browser. What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Detaching audio is something that is rarely needed. Why would you want to? You do know that you can switch audio and video in a multicam clip separately, don't you?

Basically, I have 2 video clips that both have audio, from 2 separate sd cards. I have imported them into my event. However i don't have a separate audio file for the video. So i had detached the audio from the main clip and saved separately with in final cut pro. Have selected All the clips i am wanting to use, They are appearing in the angle editor but on 2 lines and the audio i save is on the same angle as the main video.
What i am trying to achieve is to use these 2 video clips but use the sound from only one. lol sorry probably sounds more complicated than it is. Have not
Attached the audio to this clip.
Yes, you are overcomplicating things. Just take the two video files and make the multicam. In a multicam, you can change the audio and video separately.
Edit: do check the tutorials Karsten mentioned.
the videos are good! However slightly different final cut versions as i am running 10.2.2 This video was issued in 2012. So I'm not getting the same out come like the blade option when selecting the timeline. I know you can get the blade option under the curser option above the time line. So some things they do aren't the the same.
As I say i am very new to this so very much learning but we all have to start somewhere right!?
I am not exactly sure, but to see you talking about the blade I think there is a misunderstanding on your part.
You only see the blade over the angle viewer when you ***add the multicam to a project timeline*** and the focus is on the timeline.
This has not changed from 10.1 to 10.2, so that is it it is not a matter of different versions.
If your selection is the multicam clip in the browser (yellow border on it), you can "switch" angles in the angle viewer (and you see a pointing finger, not a blade).
If your focus is on the timeline, with the playhead or skimmer over the multicam, you'll see the blade in the angle viewer and by clicking you make a "cut" - in effect changing the active angle at that point.
muticam problem.
