4. Scroll down to the Audio Configuration section.
Note: You can drag the top edge of the Audio Configuration section to expand it and
reveal all of its contents.
In the example below, the Audio Configuration section shows two role components
representing the contents of the synced clip: Storyline (the clip in the primary storyline)
and Connected (all the connected clips synced to the primary storyline). You can’t
change role assignments in this view.
In many ways, you can work with role components as you would with standard audio
components. For example, you can:
• Skim over an individual role, or play it back using the Space bar or the J, K, and L
keys. See View and listen to an audio component.
• Remove a role from a synced clip by deselecting its checkbox in the Audio
Configuration section of the Audio inspector. See Enable or disable an audio
component.
• Show expanded role components in the timeline, then edit them as you would a
standard audio component. You can adjust volume, pan audio, add audio effects,
and so on.
If you want to assign different roles to specific clips within the synced clip, you can open
the synced clip for editing and then assign subroles to individual components of the
constituent clips.
For more information about synced clips, see
Sync audio and video in Final Cut Pro.
