4 – XDCAM HD

Exporting an XDCAM-Native Sequence

Important Audio Output Settings

Before FCP sequences can be written back to disc, the Audio Outputs settings for the

sequence must be adjusted so that they match the number of available audio channels on

the disc. XDCAM HD and DVCAM

- formatted discs accept up to 4 mono audio channels,

while SD discs utilizing the MPEG IMX codecs accept up to 8 mono channels. FCP sequences

default to stereo output grouping for channels 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8: Therefore the settings must

be changed to the correct number of dual mono channels prior to export.

1– Press + 0, which will open the Sequence Settings window for the selected Sequence.

2– Select the Audio Outputs tab.

3– Select Dual Mono, as below, for a 2-channel configuration.
