Option Description
Multichannel Audio Select this option if you want to assign audio tracks to specific channels in your linked
media, up to a maximum of 16 audio channels for the clips in your bins. This allows
you to specify which source channels are treated as mono or multichannel audio
tracks in your project, rather than having to modify the clips in your bin after you link
to the AMA media.
Click Edit to open the Multiple Mixes dialog box, which allows you to map audio
tracks to channels. For more information, see “AMA Linking with Multichannel
Audio” on page 393.

might cause audio or video underruns, dropped frames, or increased noise in
the audio output.
