” If you go straight from the sequence and Send To Compressor, this Channels setting doesn’t work, as FCP folds down to stereo before sending to Compressor. ”

basically trying to do the exact same thing so this sentence caught my eye

should i be exporting my mov to it’s own file with 8 discrete tracks THEN put that into compressor and apply my 422 hq with stmpe dtv mix set up to compress?
what’s this about making the movie “not self contained” vs self contained? will that effect the reading of the 8 audio tracks by compressor (seems the Elliot guy who jumped on was experiencing a problem with that workflow where the audio didn’t show up in the end at all)
trying to save hours of render time if someone could help clarify this workflow?
Thanks
