Quicktimes with 5.1 Audio
Hey everybody,
I have an HD quicktime and I also have five AIFFs from a surround sound mix. I want to attach these tracks to the quicktime to give to the client. I want to keep their speaker relationship correct and everything. What is the best/easiest way to do this? The tracks are not labeled with left, right, back, front, center or anything like that. They are labeled things like “fx”, “music”, etc… When I bring any of these AIFFs into FCP it shows that they each contain 6 mono tracks. So if I were to try to make an AC3 out of these AIFFS in Compressor how do I know where to assign each of them? This is different than the last time I had to work with 5.1, each AIFF was labeled by speaker position.Thanks,
Eli -

My guess is that they are pre mix stems. Music L & R, FX L & R mono dialog and narration. That is a standard pre mix stem config. They might be Pro Logic surround compatible.
If you just put them together, they will probably not make the mix as they should be undipped for re versioning. If you assign them to tracks in a 5.1 AC3 they will be a total dogs breakfast.
If they were a 5.1 mix they wouldn’t be labeled music, FX etc .
