    I digitized some clips with two mono tracks. When I created a different project, the same media imported with stereo audio. What can I do? Why would this happen? Can I unlink the audio with in the clip with out having to put it into a sequence?
    Also the clips are playing back very choppy…
    Thanks!!!

    The audio is very easy to change during the edit.
    If you captured two channels, you can choose to edit only one (either) channel or both.
    You can “pan” any channel to center, left, right or anywhere in-between.

    You can separate or create any “stereo pair” by clicking on the track in question and hitting “option-L”.

    I sometimes spend as much time setting and adjusting my audio tracks as I do on the video.
    It depends on how the tracks were recorded and how I’m using them.

    I’m not sure how to do this in the Viewer (if it’s even possible there), but when the clip is in the sequence timeline, if you select it and then option-L it should should change from stereo to 2 mono tracks. There’s also the Stereo Pair selection in the Modify menu that will do the same thing.

    I’m not sure why the audio would play choppy. Check to see of the sample rates of the sequence and files match. If you have a lot of audio tracks try mixing them down. Perhaps you’re stressing your processor.
