Exporting Audio for Mixing in Other Applications

Note: You can also export your audio to a multichannel QuickTime file. The same audio
grouping rules apply. For more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 17, “Exporting
QuickTime Movies.”

In your sequence, you can assign as many tracks as you want to the same audio output
channel. For example, you can assign tracks 1–4 to audio output channel 1 (mono). The
resulting exported audio file for output channel 1 would contain a mix of audio from
tracks 1–4. You can use audio output channels to group and mix multiple audio tracks
together during export. For example, you could assign tracks 1–4 to output channel 1,
tracks 5–8 to output channel 2, and tracks 9–10 to stereo output channels 3 and 4. This
is useful for exporting stem mixes for use in a final audio mix elsewhere. For more
information about assigning multiple audio outputs, see “

Configuring Audio Outputs

on page 37.

Example: Exporting 12 Tracks to Three Stereo Audio Files

Here’s a typical example illustrating how you might export multichannel audio from an
edited sequence. Suppose you’ve set up a sequence to have three stereo audio outputs
and 12 audio tracks.

The Audio Outputs tab of the Sequence Settings window would look like this:
