G'day,
I have Final Cut Pro 5.1. I have a Panasonic TM900 video camera, which records 5.1 audio.
As I'm running a PowerMac, I've imported the files as AIC. The files show in the browser as being 1V 6A (ie 1 video, 6 audio). However, when I move the files to the timeline, I end up with 4 mono audio tracks; the first two are both panned to the centre, and the 2nd two are empty.
To be frank, for this project I'm working on, it doesn't matter if I only achieve stereo sound by panning one each of the tracks that are working left/right... but I'd like to know how/if I can achieve 5.1 audio using Final Cut? (I have Soundtrack 1.2 but I've never used it...)
I gather it's a matter of the Audio settings in the Sequence settings... but not sure what to do...
THANKS
Travis
