Hey all,
I am an FCP novice here. We did a shoot using two Canon XH A1 cameras and free-run time code. We only ran external audio in to one of them. In the past (shooting with Sony X1s and no time code) we have just lined up the clips on the timeline and manually found the clapboard, and then linked the A-Cam audio to the synched B-Cam clip. Now we have timecode for the two clips, and I understand that I should be able to use that to line them up, but I don't know how.
I have seen the multi-clip option, but I can't find a way to make that work. I am not going to be switching the cameras live-style, I just want to synch the audio and then cut from there.
Being a novice I really need someone who can give me the baby steps.
Thanks so much in advance.
