Spliting audio tracks left and right
Does anyone know a easier and faster way on spliting audio tracks (A1 & A2), left and right on a full sequence, rather than going to each individual clip and panning the channels.
I find this very frustrating and very time consuming!
Many thanksDan

Select (highlight) all of the clips on A1 and go to Modify (menu) audio Pan Left.
Do the same with A2 but Pan Right.
Done.

If the audio is a Stereo Pair, you will have to make it 2 channel first Highlight all the tracks by hitting control A and Option L will make them 2 channel instead of stereo.
Then you can do what Thax suggested but a keyboard shortcut for that is (Control ,) for Pan Left and (Control /) for Pan right.

It the audio is a “Stereo Pair”, it is ALREADY panned L and R.

Yes, but you can’t pan a stereo pair to the left. It will just reverse the pan. Left to right, right to left, etc.
However, I think what you’re looking for is a track by track delineation instead of a clip by clip.
Goto seq settings and chnage the audio outputs from stereo to dual mono. Leave the tracks at 2 if that’s all you need.
Then, in the audio mixer make sure the tracks panel is open. Then right click on each track and you can choose it’s output. Either track 1 or 2 in this case.
So, for example if youre trying to make a discreet master with VO and music/sfx on separate channels, you’d make sure all music and sfx in your timeline were on a grouping of tracks like tracks 3-8 for example. Then, in the mixer you’d route all those to output 2. Then on tracks 1-2 (VO, interviews, voice, etc.) you’d route those tracks to output 1.
Now, BEFORE all this can work, you’ll have to go into your audio/video settings and change the hardware settings for your particular card/device. If yoiu’re just doing 2 channels like above, this might not be neccessary at all. But if you’re trying to output to 4 channels (like 4 channel 32khz DV for example) you’ll have to change the settings to 4 channels 32khz before it will actually work. Best to make a new easy setup called NTSC DV 4 channel or something like that.
