  • Seeing the Pan of a stereo clip

    Posted by Josh Weiss on March 2, 2006 at 4:49 pm

    If I preview an audio clip in the viewer it will show that it is panned to -1 if it is stereo. I realize that the left is in fact at -1 and the right in fact at +1 therefore it is on both speakers. However, is there a way to display this so you can in fact know (without just listening) that the clips aren’t panned to left. I know you can disable the stereo pair and see it that way, but I mean an easy solution that makes sense.

    Look on the faders in your FCP audio mixer pane

    In the far lower left hand of the interface next to the speaker there is an icon of two horizontal lines, the top one shorter than the bottom, click it. Right click in the new expanded area under one of your audio clips and select pan. Your pan is now graphically represented in the timeline and you can insert keyframes and control the pan from here or animate it.
