Hi.. I making video with mono track in Movie Edit Pro.. But I don't understand.. if I save mono track as stereo.. please say me then mono track change to stereo balance automatically.. ?
Hi,
If your audio recording is in mono, you are pretty much out of luck in terms of true stereo. You could use two identical mono tracks, and change the eq on each track to simulate stereo but you will still just have two mono tracks where left and right just sound a little different, not true stereo.

Then I need make that manuelly Thanks for help man !
Hi
You can achieve a sort of stereo effect. This works best with a single sound source eg a singer or commentator however it will get the sound into both channels for other audio.
Right click the Audio track and select Audio Cleaning
The following dialog will open when you select the Stereo FX tab.
Select the options highlighted in the image - only select one of the Both = left or Both = right options to copy the sound into the other channel.
For a singer or commentator you can then use the Balance control to set the 'stage' position, for music etc I would leave the 2 channels the same.

Hi InvisibleWar,
It is not really that big a deal to have two channels of audio. Movie edit pro will play your audio on both the left and right speaker so if you just don't want audio coming out of one speaker it is no problem. If you want to "simulate" stereo, just copy the mono track to another track, adjust the eq on each track seperately and you will have simulted a pseudo stereo sound. You can pan each track independantly. There are other products on the market that claim do a better job of simulating stereo but at the end of the day, a mono track is a mono track.
You could add a relatively inexpensive audio recorder such as the Zoom H1, mount it on your camera and it will deliver a true stereo recording in a seperate file with probably better quality than your camera microphone. The only problem with using a external recorder is that you need to use a clap board, or just make some form of loud sound so that you can sync the audio later.

@John,
I thought of that too, but I have used it and the result is pretty lame. True it does create a pseudo stereo effect, but, my solution is equally lame in that I can control the eq to simulate L and R channel audio, and pan L to R, but the best solution is to buy a external audio recorder and just record the sound track in stereo. Neither solution works well because mono audio is always mono regardless of how you try to manipulate it. You could actually change the audio spectrum on the L and R channels and get much closer to a real stereo sound but you are looking at a huge investment to obtain the software to do this, so in this case I was not advocating it.

Oh oh... Thanks to all :) No problem guys.. I know make stereo effect manually. I just ask for this automatically balanced. Thanks all. What a great support team
Hi
@ George
Agree with you on using a seperate recorder - I have a similar problem.
My new sports cam has an underwater housing with 'sound ports' to transfer sound to the stereo mics however in air the audio is muffled and the wind clicks the transfer diaphragms in some instances, under water the sound is great.
I could plug a stereo mic into the sportscam however it would then need to be out of its waterproof housing which is not good when it is snowing, although I have seen mods to the housing which are OK in air but not in water - maybe a second housing will have to be bought if the digital recorder does not make a good option - just need to find a good stereo showerproof mic!
