Again busy at a great project and …. the recorded sound is mono and totally out of sync. At this point I only hear sound on the left side (I always work with a headset on my head) and the sound is about 0.8sec behind. I found an easy way to solve this.

The first thing you need to do is to detach the audio from the video.

Now you have 2 clips, 1 video and 1 audio which you can edit separately

You can move easily your audio to the desired place to get your audio in sync again

To change mono to stereo, click on the audio track.
Go to the Audio Configuration (top right of your screen)

Change Stereo to Dual Mono (see above). Now your Mono stream also plays on your right side. Problem solved 🙂

I was busy with a very long video in Final Cut Pro which was a combination of all short movies. But… as normal, the audio was not everywhere that good… Luckily Final Cut Pro has some great features available. One of those is ‘Auto Enhance Audio’ which can be found in Menu > Modify > Auto Enhance Audio

The first thing you need to do is to select the clip you want to enhance. Then you click on Auto Enhance Audio (or press Option-Command-A).
The audio will be analysed and enhanced. When finished you see a green check mark at the audio stream.
