    Sometimes FCP pisses me off.
    I dragged a NTSC clip with stereo audio into an NTSC timeline and the Left and Right were seen as centered…so, FCP put the whole thing in mono…..now I get a call from the station saying they were in “dual-mono”

    Does anyone know why this happens: ….
    or how to stop it? (that is: keep stereo things stereo)

    ….I was trying to be soooo careful, but I missed this.

    If is a clip coming from a camera, is not stereo.

    Set your sequence Audio as stereo (Sequence setting).
    Open the audio mixer and set properly the Pan.

    Thanks.
    I guess I didn’t realize I should set the pan on the mixer after I set the seq as stereo.
