Using Import settings


This method only works if the source audio file is mono to begin with.

1. Open the Import settings: Project Window | Settings tab | Import.


2. Select the Audio tab of the Import settings.
3. Enable/check the setting that says Automatically center pan monophonic clips.
4. Now, when you import an audio file (or a video file containing mono audio), this pan
setting will automatically be applied.

Setting stereo-audio tracks


In Avid Media Composer, you can have Master Clips that are interpreted by the software
as mono, stereo, 5.1 surround, and 7.1 surround. Each type can only be edited onto
matching tracks in your sequence. For example, a stereo Master Clip can only be edited
onto a stereo track.

There are three methods available, depending on your situation and needs. The recipe will
present one method and you'll find two alternative methods in the There's more... section.

How to do it...
This method is used on one or more clips in a bin:

1. Import or capture your clip(s) that contains audio tracks into a bin.
2. Select the clip(s) you want to effect.
3. Go to the Clip menu | Modify.... (You may also right-click on the selected clips and
choose Modify....)
4. The Modify dialog window opens.
5. From the pull-down menu select Set Multichannel Audio.
6. From the menu below the tracks, configure how you want the audio tracks to be
interpreted by Media Composer (for example, as stereo).
7. Click on OK.
