  • FCP 5.0 can it output 4 channels of audio?

    Posted by Matt Bishop on July 21, 2005 at 2:41 pm

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on a 4-channel audio output solution. Here is what I was thinking, and I was curious if this is possible…In FCP 5.0 if I use a Decklink Extreme Card can I output 4 channels of audio via SDI to a Digital Betacam (DVW-500) in a single pass, or do I have to do this in two passes?

    If anyone has any advice it would be greatly apprechiated, thanks.

    Cheers
    Matt

    If you have the hardware… it can output up to 24 channels…

    Simply go into your Sequence Settings > Audio Output. Change it to 4 channels and whether you want the channels to be dual mono or stereo. Then go into your timeline and assign your audio tracks as needed.

    I do this all the time now with Kona 2. FCP 5.0 can now capture 8 channels of audio as well with the right hardware.

    Now FCP 5 can load 4 channels of audio.

    You could do this in v4.
