Work with surround sound les
Import and modify surround sound les
There are two methods you can use to add audio les to a batch to create a surround sound job:
•
Manually assign audio les to surround sound channels.
•
Append audio lenames with channel identier codes and have Compressor automatically
map the lenames to the correct surround sound channels.
Each method creates a source le in a job to which you can add a setting that supports surround
sound audio outputs, such as a Dolby Digital setting or an AIFF setting.
After creating the surround sound source le, you assign output information to the job (one or
more settings or a destination and a location and name for the transcoded le) and transcode
the batch that contains the job.
