Using only one channel of audio
Posted by Mitch Jordan on February 13, 2008 at 10:16 pmI know this may be an easy question, but I’m stumped. I work with sports clips that have announcer track on channel 1 and game nats on channel 2. How do I get AE to use only one channel? I’ve tried the stereo balance filter and the audio tool, but the audio is always mixed together on both tracks. I’m using AE CS3 on an Intel Mac. Thanks.

February 14, 2008 at 3:47 pmI’m feeling very dense at the moment. How do I pan the audio in After Effects? Thanks.

February 14, 2008 at 5:06 pmThanks for your help. I’ve already adjusted the audio using the left and right faders. I guess my problem is that After Effects appears to be mixing both of my channels when it imports the Quicktime movies. I have discrete audio channels outside of AE, but both channels appear mixed in After Effects. Am I importing my quicktimes incorrectly?
