4.13.5 MANUAL SWAP DEFINITION IN THE GENERAL DISPLAY MODE
DESCRIPTION
You can swap one or more channels of one or more elements selected on an audio
track when you are in the general timeline display. In this case, the swap is
applied to the swapped channels from the IN point to the OUT point of the
selected elements.
You can define such a swap in the Swap/Mute Configuration window accessible
when right-clicking a given audio track of the selected elements and selecting Add
Swap/Mute.
EXAMPLE
Initial Situation
The timeline audio configuration is 4 tracks of 2 channels. You want to play the
channels a3 and a4 (G2 track) of the source media onto the output channels a1
and a2 respectively (G1 track) of one timeline element.
Manual Swap Action
You will perform the swap action on the G1 track of the timeline element, where
you specify which source channels will be played on the channels of the G1 track.
In this case, you will map:
• the source channel a3 to the output channel a1 and
• the source channel a4 to the output channel a2.
Result
In the general timeline display (left screenshot below), you can see that the global
swap icon on the G1 track, which means that channels are swapped on this track.
In the Swap/Mute Zoom display (right screenshot below), you can see that the
channels a3 and a4 are played instead of a1 and a2 on track G1 from the IN to the
OUT point of the element.
