    FCP - Synced Audio...

    Hello! I'm noticing that when I sync a couple of video (bad audio) clips with an audio (good audio) clip that FCP uses the bad audio when creating the synced clip. What do I need to do to make sure that FCP is using the good audio instead of the bad (video) audio? Thanks in advance! ~Andrew
