SWAP SOURCES / OUTPUTS
Description
The swap sources are the audio mono channels available in all the audio tracks of
the source media added to the timeline.
The swap outputs are the audio channels of the element as they have to be played
in the timeline.
Uses
In the Swap/Mute Configuration window of a given track, you can define the
following:
• which source channels will be sent to the audio channels of this track when
the timeline is played.
To do this, click at the intersection between the source and the output
channels to associate.
• which output channels will be muted.
To do this, click the bullet that corresponds to the output channel. This
removes the bullet, which means that the output channel will be muted.
Summary Information
The information at the right of the output channels summarizes the channel
allocation:
• means that the source channel a7 is assigned to the output
channel a5.
• means that no source channel will be assigned to the output
channel a2. This will be mute.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
These options are only available when you access the Swap/Mute Configuration
window from the Swap/Mute Zoom display of a track:
Apply between mark IN and mark OUT
When you have defined a mark IN and mark OUT within which you should apply
the swap or mute function, you need to tick this check box.
Overwrite existing swap/mute
When you have ticked the Apply Between Mark IN and Mark OUT option, you can
tick the Overwrite Existing Swap/Mute option if you want to overwrite possible
swap/mute that might have been previously defined on the selected part of the
track.
Swap Mix Duration
You can add a mix audio effect at the beginning and end of the swap. In this case,
specify the duration of the swap mix in this spin box.
