I need to create a multi-channel 422HQ Quicktime file from a sequence and I'm a bit confused. I have 4 stereo tracks - a stereo mix, a stereo Dialogue mix, a stereo Effects mix and a stereo music mix. This file is going to be used in an edit by another as part of a montage (presumably with different music) - thus the splits.
I created a multi-channel sequence with a multichannel master and 4 "standard" tracks. Here's where I get confused. In the Audio Track Mixer track output assignment for all tracks is set to "Master". There's no other option. Under "Direct Output Assignment" do I assign the first track to "1+2", the second to "3+4" and so on or something else?
When I export, under "basic audio settings" under export settings, I have to make a "channels" selection. I assume "8"? If I select "8", I then have to select an "Audio Track Layout". I can choose "Single Track", "8 mono tracks" or "4 stereo pairs". I chose "4 stereo pairs".
However, the resulting file, when played in a Quicktime player, is clearly playing all 8 track at once. Is this right?
Just want to be sure I'm doing everything right to create a file that will be useful to whoever (I don't know who it will be) is editing my excerpt into a longer film.
Thanks!
