Basic Surround Question I haven't been able to figure out

[Dabitz]

This applies to both 11.5+ and now 12 Pro which I am trying...

When you drag the little circle to the rear speakers on the audio screen, is there a way to make only one event on the time line sound on the rear speakers instead of everthing that is on the audio channel? What I mean is when I drag it it affects everything on that timeline channel instead of 1 particular event.

Let me know if that's possible... thanks.

Although I've never really tested this, but I think this may be possible by using keyframes. You would select the time that you want the "event" to be played through a specific speaker. Add a node (keyframe) to the audio timeline for that audio track. Then drag the icon to the speaker you want the audio to be heard from. Then at a point later in the audio track, before the end of the event, to hold the icon at the speaker location, add another node and do not move the icon, unless it has moved back towards the center. If so, then just drag it back to where you want it. Then just after that, place yet another node, and drag the icon back to the center or wherever you want it to be.

As I stated I've not really tested this, but have noticed in fiddling around with the 5.1 surround, that by adding keyframes (in unexpected times) the speaker icon moves about...

It is confusing... the instructions from Corel's website don't give you much details. Is there a step by step somewhere?

Thanks so much.
