Separating audio tracks
I've just been switching to PP5.5 from FCP. The only snag so far has to do with audio tracks. If I have a clip with audio on 2 channels, I drop it into the timeline and Channel 1 will be active but Channel 2 is grayed down and won't let me adjust volume. Sometimes I may want to drop Ch. 1 down and use Ch. 2, and I haven't been able to figure that one out. Any suggestions?

Re: Separating audio tracks
Audio clips don't always go where you intend them to. The reason may have something to do with the difference between mono, stereo, and 5.1 surround audio tracks, as you'll see in this video.

Re: Separating audio tracks
Thanks. I found a tutorial before you put that link up. It's best to go to preferences and tell it to import the audio as mono, except for music...then go back and switch back to stereo for music. Also, you can select the clip in the browser and go up and turn it to mono so both tracks are controllable, but you can't do that when the clip is already in the timeline. I'd say that FCP has the edge in dealing with audio, but this is manageable, though a little awkward.

Re: Separating audio tracks
You can change it in preferences so it does it automatically on import. I always have different audio sources on each channel and it's a lot easier that way. I would imagine it would be a little annoying the other way.
