Trying to figure this out myself right now. I have two audio roles in my timeline, “Dialogue” and “Music”.
I am exporting as Master File and selecting “Multitrack QuickTime Movie” for the “Roles as:” option. I assign each role as “Mono”. Exporting the file does not separate each role, they’re center-panned or not-separated or whatever the right term for “both roles play out of both ears in my headphones”
In my timeline properties, under “Audio Channels” I have the options “Surround” and “Stereo”. I have tried both but I get the same result every time.
So:
1) Should I be using a different export setting? (I created a ProRes 422 Dual Mono setting in Compressor and imported it into FCPX, but I didn’t gte the “Roles as:” option when I went to export)
2) How should I configure “Audio Channels” in the timeline properties?
3) Is there anything else I could be missing?
Thanks!
