Mono to Stereo Audio

Post by AmyJenkinsUCD »

Hello,

My mic I'm using to record is a mono (single channel) and I find that no matter what I do in VSPX5, the audio to my video stays in mono. I've tried saving an audio file of the clip as mono or stereo. I've tried saving the video using different compressions as well. Still, the audio only comes out of one speaker. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Amy

Not true stereo - but at least the same sound coming out of each speaker.

put your video in the timeline and make sure it is selected (yellow line all round it) then click on the "Sound Mixer" icon - that is just above the timeline but below the preview screen and is a musical note with a sound wave attached to it.

When the options panel opens (with sound controls on it) note that it has two tabs - it opens on "Surround sound mixer" by default - but to the left is another tab - "Attribute" - click on that - in there you will find the option "Duplicate Audio channel" - click to tick the box next to it and the option to choose which channel to duplicate will become available - click to put a dot in the appropriate circle (you might have to experiment to choose the correct left/right option) and you should now have sound from both speakers
