Displaying Volume and Pan Values
You can view the volume and pan automation values in the Timeline, including surround sound
pan values for sequences using a surround sound mix. If you choose to view volume and pan on
individual tracks rather than on the entire sequence, you can view volume values on one track
and pan values on another.
When you display pan information in surround sound sequences, you can select which speaker
layout you want to view. For example, if you want to view the pan information for a stereo track
in a 5.1 surround sound sequence, you can view how either the left or right stereo channel pans in
the following speaker configurations:
• Front speaker position
• Front speaker position
• Front and rear speaker positions
• Center speaker position, displayed as a percentage
