Reset pan adjustments
In Final Cut Pro, do any of the following:
• Reset an edited pan mode: Click the Pan Mode pop-up menu and choose another
preset. The Pan Amount slider is not affected.
• Reset adjustments to the Surround Panner only: Move the pointer to the Surround
Panner section in the Audio inspector, then click the Reset button that appears on

the Reset button that appears on the right.
You can monitor stereo and surround sound channel levels using the audio meters.

If you add a clip with mono audio to a stereo project, Final Cut Pro plays the single
mono audio in both left and right channels, visible in the stereo audio meters for the project.
Final Cut Pro multichannel audio editing examples
Below are examples of some multichannel audio editing workflows in Final Cut Pro.
Example: Remove unwanted noise from an audio component

audio skimming are turned on. See
Skim media in Final Cut Pro.

(or press Control-Option-S).
2. Skim or play back the audio component to find the specific place where the noise occurs.
3. Drag within the component to select the range where the noise occurs.
