Audio Components and Multicam

Audio Components and Multicam

Audio Components and Multicam Specify configuration of audio components using the mc-clip element.

Overview

Configure the following audio components using the mc-clip element:

• Enabling or disabling the component
• Mute ranges
• Volume and other audio adjustments
• Audio filters

The code listing below is a multicam project example based on the first code listing in the Multicam Media page, with two multicam clips that have reconfigured audio components. The first clip has its audio trimmed at both ends as a JL cut. The second angle in the second clip has its audio muted for 5 seconds in its middle section.

               <audio-role-source role="dialogue.dialogue-1">
                  <mute start="5s" duration="10s" />
               </audio-role-source>
            </mc-source>
         </mc-clip>

   </sequence>

As of FCPXML 1.2, mc-source elements no longer support audio filters. Instead, you apply audio filters to an mc-clip element, which applies the effect to all active audio source angles, or to an audio-source element, which only applies the effect to the individual audio source, if active. Existing FCPXML 1.1 projects with audio angles on an mc-clip element are converted to 1.2 and later format on import.

In FCPXML 1.6, use the audio-role-source element to apply audible adjustments and audio filters to an audio component identified by its role.
