A

Click on the synced clip in the browser or the timeline.

Go to the audio function of the inspector window.

Under “audio configuration” click on “storyline” to turn off the audio recorded by the camera or “connected” to turn off, what is for me HN1 audio.

Q

How do you create a crossfade?

A

Drag the clips so one is over the
other.

Drag the clips audio fade handles so that the first clip fades out as the other is fading in.

20
Q

How do you change the fade shape?

A

Hold ctl and click on the fade handle. Then choose one of the options.

21
Q

What are the four types of fade shapes?

A

LINEAR: maintains a constant rate of change over the length of the fade.

S-CURVE: eases in and out of the fade

+3DB: Starts quickly and tapers at the end

-3DB: Starts slowly and then moves quickly toward the end.

22
Q

How can you automatically fix audio problems in FCPX?

A

Right click on the clip
Select “Analyze and Fix…”

Or, click onthe little magic wand icon in the Inspecgtor, next to where it says “not analyzed.” The wheels will spin and it will recommend the optimal settings.
If one of the parameters (loudnss, NR or hum) did not engage, it means the audio does not need that adjustment – no problems detected., If they do engage, it means they did find and fix a problem.

23
Q

What is an “audio component”?

A

Audio Components are FCPX’s way of wrapping all the separate audio tracks/streams for a clip into a single expandable/collapsible container in your timeline. This is incredibly helpful when you are dealing with multi-track audio from set.

Let’s say you have 2 tracks of a stereo mixdown, 2 boom mics, 2 lavs and 4 additional ISO’s (Isolated Tracks/Channels of Recorded Audio). Having 10 tracks of audio in your timeline while editing for picture can be quite annoying and can lead to accidentally shifting things out of sync.

When you edit a clip into your timeline—regardless of how many audio tracks the clip contains—FCPX shows you a single waveform mixdown of all the audio tracks in that clip. You could think of it as a quasi-compound clip of audio only.

24
Q

How do you reveal the individual audio tracks in an audio component?

A

To reveal and edit the clip’s individual audio tracks, right-click that clip in the timeline and choose Expand Audio Component (CTRL-OPT-S) and the audio expands in the timeline to show you all your separate ISO tracks.

You can then delete silent tracks, edit others, and apply effects on an individual basis. Once you’re done, right-click, Collapse Audio Component to get a nice, neat timeline again.

You also have access to these separate tracks in the Audio Inspector, but you’re limited to what you can do with them there. Essentially, in the Inspector, you can either disable/enable tracks or change their channel configuration (Dual Mono, Stereo, Left, Right etc.)

25
Q

What is the difference between “expand audio” and “detach audio”?

A

Expand audio separates the audio component from the video whilst retaining its synced relationship with the clip.

This one you have to be careful with. Once you right-click a clip and select Detach Audio, the audio and video are no longer associated with each other. So all bets are off. Essentially you have created two completely separate clips—a video-only one and an audio-only one. I don’t really recommend doing this except under rare circumstances. Like when you really only need either the video for b-roll or the audio for sound design.

Q

What is “resolution”?

A

Resolution is the total number of pixels (Dots) available on a Display Screen or the total pixels contained within the Processed picture of Samsung TV . … It is simply the physical number of columns and rows of pixels creating the display

35
Q

What is “aspect ratio”?

A

The aspect ratio is the ratio between the width and the height of a display. It defines its overall shape, and it is usually presented as W:H (where W is the width, and H is the height). All TVs sold today have an aspect ratio of 16:9, which means that if the width is divided into 16 equal parts, the height of the TV or picture should be 9 parts.

36
Q

What does it mean to “mix audio”?

A

Audio mixing is the process of taking recorded tracks and blending them together. Tracks are blended using various processes such as EQ, Compression and Reverb. The goal of mixing is to bring out the best in your multi-track recording by adjusting levels, panning, and time-based audio effects (chorus, reverb, delay).

37
Q

What is “music compression”?

A

Music compression is the process of reducing a signal’s dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal.

You need to reduce the dynamic range of most audio signals for them to sound natural on a recording.

For example: Imagine a whisper and a scream on the same audio track. If they were the same difference in loudness as they are in real life, it would be very distracting!
