quicktime exporting with seperate audio tracks

[George Bonilla]

Great! So I will set those in the mixer? I tried these settings in the mixer. I set channel 1-2 to dual mono. 3-4 to sterio. When I try to set the pan it lockes them center and does not give me access. Setting both to sterio sets pans hard left and hard right. How do I set 1-2?

[George Bonilla]

Maybe I am doing something wrong. I set in settings sequence to 4 tracks.
track 1-2 dual mono
track 3-4 dual stereo
downmix at 0 on both
I then get the warning about mixing down stereo I tried it checked and unchecked. It mentions a toggle in mixer which I can not find?
Then over to the mixer
Pans are set to center and unavailable when I set 1-2 to dual mono.
When both are set to dual stereo pans are unlocked and set hard left and right.
Any ideas? Thanks again for your time

Did you right-click in the track header and assign the tracks to the correct outputs?

Hi Tom, I am using a Mac with an optical mouse. Is there another way to right click or open or select the track? When set as I have it now in mixer the two mono tracks are all the way up the 2 stereo tracks are slid down about a third. The pans are locked center and can not be accessed. This is in mixer. Should I be in selection settings? Thanks

You can’t right click with your mouse? Use Control-click to bring up the shortcut menu.

All the best,

Tom

Hi Tom, I really don’t mean to sound so ignorant. But, could you be a bit more specific. Control click where? I tried it at the head of the mixer track. Nothing. Tried it in the head of the sequence track, nothing. Tried it in the sequence settings. Nothing. What track are you refering too? I appreciate your help and do not mean to frustrate. So, how do you right click and optical Mac mouse? Just curious?

This is all described in the manual.

All the best,

Tom

Thanks and I am sure it is. I actually have been pouring through the manual. But, things are not always as easy as that (I am sure you know). This has been an incredible hard answer. I know many filmmakers face this question when getting ready to send a drive for dubbing. There is no place that gives a simple step by step to exporting separated dialog and M&E (that I can find and I have looked and looked). I am just VERY grateful for this forum! But, I still can not find how to export these tracks into two separate tracks? I did exactly as was mentioned and I still got tracks 1-2 mixed with 3-4. I have it set for 2 audio outputs (when I got in it was set for 2). When I tried to set the setting as David mentioned I can not. When set in mono for track 1-2 I can not hard pan left and right.

Go back and read again George, I said mono should be center panned. Stereo left and stereo right are panned L&R respectively.

Yes, you absolutely did! I actually noticed I had written that wrong right as your email came through! I meant I can not hard pan on 3-4. It pretty much locks me out when I choose mono for 1-2 and stereo for 3-4. Do you think if it is center panned it will still work? Is there a way for me to get in? When I set it in settings to 1-2 mono and 3-4 stereo I then get the following in mixer. 1-2 panned center and set at 12 on the slides. I get 3-4 center panned and set at 0 on the slides. No way for me to pan right or left on any. Sorry about the mis-quote. Did not mean to quote you wrong. I really appreciate all of your help. I understnd very well how it is dealing with someone (I train new people on set all the time) who just doesn’t know all he should about things but I learn everytime I come here!
