Hi!

I setup a Multicam with 2 Camera Angles and 3 additional Audio Tracks. I edited everything with the camera sound from Angle 1. Now, when I want to edit the audio from the three additional Audio Tracks (Angle 3,4,5) and therefore unlinked video & audio and switched the MC Angle of the audio track to Angle 3,4 or 5 in the editing timeline, I can't see any waveform and can't hear any sound. If I flatten it, the clip just vanished as if there was no soundfile on the track. But within the Multicam (opened in timeline) everything is fine. I see the audio clips and hear the sound.

Is my Multicam broken somehow?

If I copy the content of my Multicam to another Timeline and convert this Timeline into a new Multicam and put this into my editing Timeline, it seems to work. Is there any way to swap Multicam-Linking in my edit?

So many days of work already in the edit.

One of the cameras has 4 channels of audio. So one fix I though of is to put my three audio files into this audiotrack (adaptive: 4). But somehow I can just put an audiofile into the first channel. Channel 2-4 seem immune to putting audio files in?

Thanks for your help!

Here's the approach I recommend.

1. Create the Multicam using only camera media.
2. Add the Multicam to a timeline.
3. Add whatever audio you want to hear under the Multicam and sync it up.
4. Disable the Audio track of the Multicam.
5. Edit away...

The idea is to keep usable audio out of the Multicam. It just makes mixing in Fairlight down the line much easier.
