If you gave both files the same name and rendered them to the same folder, DVD Architect automatically adds the audio file once you load the video file.

There are 3 different short cuts depending on what you want to do.

F: Affected Tracks
Ctrl+F: Affected Tracks, Bus Tracks, Markers, and Regions
Ctrl+Shift+F: All Tracks, Markers, and Regions

This is in the online help menu under Ripple Editing.

Norman, my audio tab for Pro 10 and 12 looks identical to yours.

To both of you, do you have the Import stereo as dual mono option enabled in Options > Prefs > General?

I rendered out the test file that Cedric uploaded and still get the same result, a single stereo file.
Here’s a screenshot of my timeline with the original file and the ones rendered in Pro 10 and Pro 12.

Not sure what to tell you Norman. I just tried it in Pro 10 and 12 and everything I did gave me a single stereo audio track. Just for fun I did a test with a stereo audio track and two mono tracks, one panned hard left and the other hard right. Once again, my render was a single stereo audio track.

[Mike Kujbida]

Norman, I’m not sure why you get two mono channels as I render to MXF a lot and always get a single stereo channel.

[Mike Kujbida]

I use Nectar to enhance my completed voice-overs but use iZotope RX3 for cleaning up location dialogue.

[Mike Kujbida]

That looks ok to me. What does the primary camera look like?

[Mike Kujbida]

While you’re in the Pan/Crop window, right click and select Match Output Aspect. Now zoom//pan/position as desired.

[Mike Kujbida]

If you want to make a regular DVD (i.e. not a Blu ray), the only render template you can use is MPEG-2 for your video and either AC-2 or WAV for your audio.

[Mike Kujbida]

I think Expand Track Layers is what you’re looking for.
The ESC key should get you back to normal.
