XDCAM Transfer yields Mono output
Posted by Phil Bates on July 11, 2009 at 4:28 pmI can hear the stereo separation when playing clips in XDCAM Transfer, but the rendered QuickTimes are mono. Any idea why I am losing stereo?
Thanks,

July 12, 2009 at 5:00 amThanks for responding, Craig.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to locate the controls to pan the separate channels. I can’t find them either in XDCAM Transfer, or QuickTime Player. Can you help me find them?
Thanks,

In Quicktime you need to do this in Windows/Show Movie Properties/Audio Settings
XDAM is Dual Mono tracks. It does NOT record in Stereo so you must PAN for Stereo. Files always are Dual Mono Center Paned. -
