Editing Multicam Audio in Audition

I know it's not possible to send audio from a multicam sequence directly to Audition. I've tried flattening the sequence (after duplicating the multicam video stream) and that didn't work. I've tried Render & Replace but that option is greyed out.

Can't find anything else that addresses round-tripping audio from a multicam sequence in Audition.

Is the only real option to edit the audio separately first, then create the multicam sequence from the extracted audio stream?

I would recommend these steps:

1. Open the multicam source sequence in the timeline by pressing Cmd/Ctrl and double-clicking the multicam clip.

2. Select the audio clip you want to edit in Adobe Audition. If you only want to edit a small segment of the audio, add two cuts to isolate this segment as its own clip and select this. Right-click the source audio in the timeline and choose Edit Clip In Adobe Audition.

3. Premiere will automatically create a new version of the clip and rename it with the suffix "Extracted", replace it in the multicam timeline and open it in Adobe Audition.

4. Make changes in Audition and save. These changes will automatically update in the multicam in Premiere.

5. If at any stage you want to revert to the original audio, right-click your "Extracted" audio clip in Premiere Pro and choose Restore Unrendered.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Paul

Hey, you can make a copy of the audio clip and place it below the original multicam audio. Then right-click the multicam audio copied clip and the drop-down menu will appear. Click reveal in project. That will take you to the sequence or clip. Right-click the clip/sequence and hit, open in timeline. There you will see the original reference clip. There, you will be able to send the audio clip back and forth to audition. Or you will be able to do any type of editing to your liking. What ever you do to the audio clip will reflect and auto update inside of your multicam sequence. Hope this heps.

When you say that flattening the sequence before sending to Audition didn't work, can you please be more specific? When you flatten the sequence it brings forth the original clips, so there shouldn't be any issue sending that to Audition. Instead of duplicating the MC stream, why not duplicate the sequence so you have a backup of the MC edit, then flatten everything so there's only one instance of your edit in the sequence you send to Audition?

Duplicating the entire sequence would be excessive. It's a 20 minute sequence of a 1 hour film. Of which this multicam clip is about 40 seconds. I haven't edited the multicam sequence yet (cut it up to the different camera angles). That's why I duplicated that stream so I could come back later and cut the camera angles.

As far as flattening, I selected the clip (both audio and video streams), went to Clip>Multi-Camera>Flatten. When I did that, I then right-clicked on the audio stream and Edit in Adobe Audition was greyed out. Maybe it was a glitch, don't know.

I think your work flow is a little off here. Maybe try something different.

Create and edit the multicam sequence. After cutting that, flatten it. Copy/Paste the needed clips into the main sequence.

When the main sequence is fully edited, send that over to Audition.
