Re: [Avid-L2] Quicktime with Discrete Audio Streams as opposed to a Single Multichannel Audio Stream

Hi Jay,

AFAIK, It has to do with Avid Export settings 'Direct Out' (multiple Mono) or not (Poly)

You can't flag it in a QT, as a track is saved as either all bytes right after each other in a track (Poly), or bytes per track (Mono)

This might be of help to convert:

Open a QT in QT and do a Get Info. Some QTs show multiple audio tracks with each one being mono, then some QTs show a single audio track that is Stereo or 5.1 or 7.1 or 9.1 or whatever.

If you open those QTs in QTPro and Show Movie Properties and then go to the Audio tab you can see that the one with multiple mono tracks has a bunch of separate listings for audio tracks and you can activate or deactivate different ones. But the other will just have a single audio stream that is multichannel.

Is there a way to change from multi-track to multi-channel and back and forth, without doing full on Exports? Like is there a piece of software that will let me change a setting?

The issue is coming up when doing my deliverable exports from Resolve (yes, I know this is the Avid-L, but there are some really smart people on here) and it's making the single track multi-channel kind of QT, and now I'm being asked to deliver a multi-track version, and Resolve just doesn't have the depth to have that be an option. Or it's not readily apparent to me in and of the settings.

Thank you for any insight that can be provided.

Jay
