I have installed Edius 5 trial version and found that the exporter (print to file) contains presets for 5 and 5.1 channel Dolby Digital under "Audio". When trying to export 6 monaural channels however, I do get a 6 channel ac3 audio file, but channels 1,3,5 and 2,4,6 are mixed, so in fact I get stereo sound from channel 1 and 2, with channels 3 - 6 empty.
When importing a Dolby Digital 6 channel file, the individual channels are mapped correctly to 6 audio tracks in the timeline, i.e. according to information in another thread from Kenneally (http://ediusforum.grassvalley.com/fo...olby+digital):
A1 Mono Channel 1 -> Front Left
A2 Mono Channel 2 -> Front Right
A3 Mono Channel 3 -> Centre
A4 Mono Channel 4 -> LFE
A5 Mono Channel 5 -> Surround Left
A6 Mono Channel 6 -> Surround Right
My project was set as DVCPRO HD, as mentioned in the same post by Kenneally.
So now I am left with two questions:
Is it possible to export Dolby Digital 5 or 6 channel audio from Edius 5 timeline?
If yes, what am I doing wrong?
If no, why are the presets included in the Edius 5 exporter.
And last but not least: if it is possible to export 5 or 6 channel Dolby Digital audio, why is this not mentioned as new feature of Edius 5?
