Quicktime file with 5.1 audio from Final Cut Pro 7?

[Joe Riggs]

Hello,

How do you export a Quicktime file with 5.1 audio from Final Cut Pro 7?

You would think this would be pretty simple, do x, do y, export and walla you
have a 5.1 audio file.

However, I'm running into a few issues and I'm unsure how to verify if it is indeed 5.1

Here's a couple of instructions I found:
Export 5.1 Surround Sound From Final Cut Pro | Final Cut Producer
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3284332?tstart=0

I followed the first one.

The first thing I noticed is that once I set my 6 tracks to dual mono, I could not hear the dialogue
track anymore within Final Cut 7 program, however I can see that it is present in the waveform.

I'm not sure why this happened maybe because I don't have a 5.1 setup, so my
computer can't output all 6 tracks to 2 speakers?

Then when I export, how can I verify if it is 5.1? When I go to inspector I get



I would think it should indicate this



So I'm confused on the right way to export and verify it.
