• Stereo clip items and stereo audio output: Level and pan controls for both clip items are
linked. You cannot independently adjust the left or right level. Changing the pan of
one of the clip items inversely adjusts the pan of the other, resulting in a gradual
swapping of the left and right audio signals.

Changing a Clip’s Pan
You can change the pan of both stereo and mono clip items in the Audio Mixer. When
you adjust a stereo clip item’s pan, the other clip item in the pair is adjusted by an equal
and opposite amount. Mono clip items’ pan is adjusted independently.
To change the pan of an entire clip
1 Make sure the clip doesn’t have any pan keyframes already applied.
2 Make sure that the Record Audio Keyframes button in the button bar at the top of the
Audio Mixer is not selected.
3 In the Timeline, position the playhead so that it’s over the clip you want to change.
4 Drag the panning slider of the relevant track strip.
