AI Multicam SmartSwitch - option to not cut audio

PostWed Apr 23, 2025 4:30 am

The AI Multicam SmartSwitch needs an option to not cut the audio tracks when switching camera angles, every multicam i ever done has had one source audio track ie a full audio mix on timeline camera 1 track 1 (coming from Premiere I've always made multicam angles from nested sequences not raw video files so the multicam source is a stack of nested timelines, one for each camera angle).
Having the multicam angle cuts only on the video track makes the timeline easier to edit as there is only one unbroken audio track and only the video is cut at each camera change, this makes it easy to see where edits to the content are as they will be the only points where the audio track is cut.
I tried selecting the option to only cut video in the multicam source like i normally would when doing a manual switch while playing back the multicam on the timeline but that didn't work, i tried locking the audio track but that resulted in the auto switch not working.

Could you please add an option in AI Multicam SmartSwitch to select which audio track from the multicam source to keep and only cut video at the camera changes.
