Importing 4 Audio channels in FCP 5.1.1
Hello from Norway!
I have just recieved my new Final Cut Studio 5.1.1, I have been using FCP 4.5 for the last 2 years.
I was wondering if anybody knows how I can import the 4 audio channels. I have recorded 4 channels on my Canon XLH1 HDV camera, I find when I try to import from the HDV tape, I can only import 2 channels, how do I get the 4 channels I have recorded.
I use PAL -

Why did Canon put the 4 channel feature on this camera? I don’t think 4 channel audio capture is possible using HDV firewire. More importantly, like DV cameras, using the four channel mode drops the sample rate to 32khz.
As an audio pro that also uses FCP, I always advise clients to record 2 cannel 48khz. If you need four channels then you need a sound recordist preferably with a location multi track system that produces broadcast wav files.
