What is the equivalent effect in FCP?Posted by Joe Riggs
Hi,
Does FCP have an effect that allows you to take an audio track that has been recoded on the left or right channel and replace it with the other channel? For example, I have a track where a Boom and Lav were used, one on the left channel and one of the right channel. I'd like to replace the Lav channel with the Boom, in order to still have one stereo track but with the Boom on both the left and right channels. Sorry if this is confusing, I'm transferring from Premiere to Final Cut and in Premiere they have a effect in the audio that is "Fill left or right", that allows what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks
You mean panning the boom to the middle and lowering the lav to null?
[EDIT] You'll have to uncouple the tracks if they are linked stereo pairs to adjust the levels independently [/EDIT] I am curious what Premiere's "Fill Left or Right" actually does. Is it a macro or does it just dupe the track and pan it opposite? [EDIT] Hey google, thanks: [www.mediacollege.com] [/EDIT] BTW, two identical tracks is not stereo, it's two track mono. For that matter, a boom and a lav provide almost no stereo field image, assuming a standard boom scenario. ak Sleeplings, AWAKE!

All you'll get is a slight increase in volume, and that's easier to achieve by deleting the unwanted lavalier track, then panning the mono boom track to the middle (CONTROL-.) and then adjusting the level. Add a Dynamics Processor or Gain filter if you still want more volume. www.derekmok.com
Select the linked pair and press Option-L to delink them. Then you can select ecah side, pan or center each track separately and adjust gain.

Also note, that when the audio tracks are no longer paired together, the "underline" under the file name will disappear. Then when you double click either of the tracks, you will see only one track in the viewer window. Then adjust the pan to make sure it has a value of "0" (zero) so that the audio will come out of both left and right channels.

i think that only happens when you Apple-L, which is to un-link the picture and audio elements.
Option -L will simply "un-stereo" the audio, while keeping picture & audio linked. another way to adjust Pan is to select the audio, and use keyboard shortcuts: Control , = Left Control . = Centre Control / = Right nick
