Dual Mono Audio

Select Clip in Inspector Audio and make sure Channel Configuration is set to Dual Mono. Using Break Apart Clips, the audio clips become Connected Clips to the Video they originated from. Now do what you will to the individual channels. A key feature of Connected Clips is they remain in sync. Move the Video and the Connected Clips will move along with it.

If having two Connected audio clips looks a bit sloppy you can make them a Compound Clip but, oddly, clicking this Compound Clip doesn't open it into it's own timeline. It seems to behave once again as a clip. If I look at that Compound Clip in the Inspector and Channels are Dual Mono it seems to retain the different levels in each channel.

Downside of this is the new compound clip has no handles that the original clip had. It's truncated to the compound clip length.

All the best,

Tom

True. If one needs the handles then they have to remain as connected clips.
Given that Compound Clips done this way also don't open in a separate timeline I'm wondering if this a bug. It's certainly inconsistent behavior.
