  • Setting All Clips to a Center Pan for Audio

    Posted by Alan Lakomskis on July 29, 2008 at 7:06 pm

    So we’re on our Director’s Cut of a Movie of the Week and we’ve brought on a second editor. The primary editor has been working with stereo audio clips and center panning the clip he uses. This is time consuming and the new editor doesn’t want to do all the extra work. Does anyone have an idea of how to do a global center pan on all the clips without putting them all in a sequence and doing a global pan?
    is there a keystroke I could program to do the panning for the editor?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Al

    Select all source clips in the bin and select “center pan” from either the Clip or the Special menu (not in front of my system right now.

    Yeah, that’s the solution. Center pans the clips he uses? I’m not familiar with that workflow. What’s the advantage to doing that?

    not sure.

    the audio recording is inconsistent so the main actor’s voice, sometimes comes out of channel one and sometimes comes out of channel two. so i believe he thinks this will eliminate having to find out which channel is in use. if he center pans, is there a potential to phase out some audio?

    ps thanks for the quick responses guys!
