Apple Final Cut Pro 5 - Manual (Page 255)

254 Part IV Logging, Capturing, and Importing
To select which audio tracks are captured:
m See “ Multichannel Audio Channel Selection ” on page 288.
If you change your mind about the audio grouping after you capture, you can make
channel grouping adjustments by choosing Modify > Clip Settings, or by relinking clip
items in the Timeline. For example, two adjacent mono channels can be regrouped as a
stereo pair. For more information, see “
Dual Mono Versus Stereo Audio ” on page 290
and Volume II, Chapter 14, “Linking and Editing Video and Audio in Sync.”
Important: In Final Cut Pro 5, mono audio channels are each captured to a separate
track in a QuickTime media file. Stereo pairs are each captured to a single interleaved
track in a QuickTime media file. In previous versions of Final Cut Pro, only two-channel
audio capture was supported to a single QuickTime audio track. Therefore, older
versions of Final Cut Pro can only recognize media files if you capture them with a
single stereo pair audio track.
Changing a Clip’s Track Selections After Logging
Once a clip is logged, you can override its track settings in one of two ways:
 Clip Settings command: You can change an offline clip’s track settings by choosing
Modify > Clip Settings, and then enabling different tracks for capture.
Enable or disable specific
audio tracks for capture
Enable or disable video

current clip’s video
