Create a surround sound source le using channel identier codes
You can add channel identier codes to the lenames of surround sound les in the Finder and
then add the les in Compressor.
1 In the Finder, append the lename of each audio le with the appropriate channel identier code:
•
-L: Left front channel
•
-R: Right front channel
•
-C: Center front channel
•
-Ls: Left surround channel
•
-Rs: Right surround channel
•
-S: Center surround channel
•
-LFE: Low-frequency eects channel (subwoofer, LFE)
For example, if the audio le for your left front channel is named “nal audio_left.ai,” you would
name the le “nal audio_left-L.ai.”
Note: Compressor will recognize source les with or without a le extension (.ai or .wav,
for example).
2 Drag all of the renamed source audio les (not the folder of les) to the batch area.
A new job appears in the batch area, and the Job inspector displays the audio channels that
have been assigned based on their channel codes. (If the Job inspector is not visible, make sure
the job is selected in batch area and the Inspector button is highlighted blue. If you need to
reassign a channel, you can do so by clicking the channel’s icon in the Job inspector.
You can optionally include a video le in the surround sound source le by clicking the Add
Video button in the Job inspector, selecting a video le, and clicking Open.
Modify a surround sound source le
1 In the batch area, select a job that contains a surround sound source le.
2 In the Surround Sound Properties area of the Job inspector, do either of the following:
•
To assign a dierent le to a channel: Click the channel’s icon, select a dierent le, and
click Open.
•
To remove a le from a channel: Click the Remove button .
