Strange Split Track Output…

[Jeremy Garchow]

You’d have six mono outputs with the appropriate Roles (left, right, center, so forth), and then one stereo output that has all Roles selected.

Exactly, just trying to figure out how to export stems of the surround mix s I can assign Roles to them. If I do a surround QT movie, or multichannel audi… oh duh, didn’t think to try resetting the channel assignments on the surround mix I output to mono so I could set the roles… I’ll try in the AM.. thanks!

Charlie,

So you want a single video file with 8 audio channels: L, R, C, LFE, LS, RS, Stereo Mix-L, Stereo Mix-R …

yes?

First thing I did was create a good stereo mix using the 5.1 stems. Then I split the stereo mixdown into 2 discrete mono channels and saved out (DAW).

I then imported new discrete clips into FCPX. The 5.1 stems were already in my Browser and assigned proper Roles. I created two new Roles for the discrete L + R clips (Stereo Mix L, Stereo Mix R) and assigned accordingly.

My timeline consisted of a video track (no audio) in the Primary, 6 stems for 5.1, and the discrete L + R clips. Finally I defined Channel Configurations in the Audio Browser.

Here’s the Timeline Index:

Here’s how I Shared it out as a Multitrack Quicktime Movie:

Here’s the final output:

And I think you know how to export discrete Mono stems – Roles as: “Separate Files” or “Audio Only as Separate Files.”
