quicktime exporting with seperate audio tracks

[David Roth weiss]

George, I hate to sound like a curmudgeon at this late stage of the game, but honestly, this is getting a bit over the top now. We are to help and to point you in the right direction, but we really can’t teach every push of the button. You’re gonna have to fiddle around a bit more and read the manual over again a few more times to figure out the audio controls.

BTW, tracks 3 & 4 absolutely, positively must be panned hard left and hard right respectively, otherwise your expensive stereo music tracks and effects will wind up either mono, or summed, or both. To do that you must first toggle off their stereo pair status using option-L.

I do appreciate your words. I never expected anyone to push the buttons. But (as someone who deals with training and helping novie people all the time) some of the answers (just some)are vague at best and assume that you know a heck of a lot! A step by step on this process would be great for fimmakers. Tom had mentioned that you can find this info everywhere? But no one could just point me to the answers? If it is in the manual I sure couldn’t find it. Probably is, just me. Do not, take this as anything but gratitude. I will take it from here. Your help has been great.

The audio section of the manual is excellent. Read all about audio outputs beginning on p40 of the first part of the manual. It’s explained in step-by-steps in great detail. A simple search of the PDF file that is in the Help menu found this in less than a minute.

All the best,

Tom

Of course you can record 4 discreet tracks to DV tape via FireWire. I do it all the time for project backup in case a master needs to be recut with simple changes like music or VO. Just have to put the deck in 4 channel 32khz mode. Even works on Dsr-20.
