Hi, Have just prepared all of my files (left and right eye) with sequential numbering ready to be muxed, they all have matching timecodes so can be left to be batched unattended. I can see that the windows version of First Light offers an 'auto mux' but cant for the life of me find how to do that on a mac! Can anyone help at speed please :) Have tried with remaster as well but am equally confused!

Many thanks

You can double click on the "Start/Run Time" column to sort your clips by timecode. That will help in matching clips for left/right eye. You still have to start the mux manually. Auto mux is on the list...

Hi David, many thanks, thankfully sussed the double click first off.... when do you think automux will come online, am getting finger cramp... is there a way of forcing compressor to do the job with droplets?
