Left audio channel to both channels

Hi,

Have just placed several clips on timeline and realise they only play the left side. They are mono, but how can I get the mono out to both sides?

In the mixer when I pan to the right and there is nothing.

So it is 16 bit 2 channels, but audio is only on one side. I need this to be both sides.

Don't want to have to take the audio off to another program and do it.

Can it be done in VPX10 ?

Thanks

ADDITION: It looks like I may have found the answer.. on the highlighted clip, right click and select 'Split Stereo objects into Mono objects'. It create a new audio track but it is now both speakers.

Hi Oz

. . . . on the highlighted clip, right click and select 'Split Stereo objects into Mono objects'. It create a new audio track but it is now both speakers . . . .

That is one way, an alternative is: Right click the audio and select Audio Cleaning, Stereo Fx tab, and from the preset dropdown select Both channels = left or Both channels = right and you can adjust the 'stage' position using the Balance slider in the same dialog.

Many thanks. Will check out the alternative too.

When I did the Split Stereo in about 20 of the tracks the new audio tracks chose 2 tracks down from the video tracks which is fine but when I did the last one, it placed the new audio on the track directly below the orig audio.

That's was okay too as there was nothing else on this track at that place however to keep it all the same, I tried to separate the new audio from the old audio and I can't.

The video and both audio's are locked. How can I split separate these please?

Thanks again fro all the help.

Uuuhm, Oz,

The method that John EB showed you is actually the best method and the one that I use often. No extra tracks. I suggest that you use it. You should be able to highlight a bunch of clips and do it in one shot.

If you really need to separate the audio from the video tracks, ungroup should do it.
