How To Make Sound Effects Pan
I have various sound effects throughout my project that I want to pan (left to right; front to back; or just have a sound on one side of the screen). For instance, people in a scene which already has sound, and they look up to see a plane fly from one side of the screen to the other. Or another example would be, people in a scene that already has sound, and there is a crash off to one side of the screen. How do I do this?

every audio track has a panning control under the volume control in the track header. You can pan the entire track or right click and make a panning envelope to gradually change the panning over time.

Thanks for the response, Mary, but I know how to change the panning for the entire track – that’s the problem. I don’t want to change the panning for the entire track to be on the left, say, just because one sound effect 10 minutes in has a crash in that spot.
You mentioned a “panning envelope to gradually change the panning over time”. What is that?

right click in the track header and choose panning envelope. This gives you a blue line over the length of the track that you can click to create handles and create changes in the panning over time. Look it up in the help files for more specific directions.
