7.1 audio at DVinfo.net

Ilkka Pouhakka · February 10th, 2013, 11:49 PM

I have a question regarding both Movie Studio and Pro version of the current Vegas.
I have the Movie Studio and downloaded the trial of Pro version to see if it is different from Movie Studio, but both of them had the same settings.

If I have video that has 7.1 audio, which is 8-channel, can I output it back to 7.1 after editing?
If I go to project properties there are options for stereo and 5.1 but no 7.1.
However, if I start to render the video, I can change the render settings to support up to 32-channels of audio.

So which one is the 'correct'? Doesn't the project properties need to match with the final outcome of the video instead of having different settings?

To output 5.1 without encoding to Dolby (which costs extra), you need to do a WAV render with "Mono (multiple)". To encode that to TrueHD or DTS-HD, you must use an external program.

Unfortunately, Vegas only supports 5.1, so it's better to mix for 7.1 in Pro Tools or similar.

I am still very new to the whole multichannel audio, except stereo of course.

You say that if I want to encode into Dolby, it would cost extra. What exactly do you mean by that?
Even though I have only purchased the Vegas Movie Studio, it still gives me the option to edit 5.1 audio. (?)
