Chapter 3 Import source media 23
For example, to assign an AIFF le to the left surround channel, rename the le lename-Ls.ai (where
lename is the name of your le). The channel identier codes must include the hyphen, as shown.
Note: OS X may add a le extension like .ai. This will not interfere with this channel
assignment method.
This procedure works only when you drag les into the Batch window. If you drag the les onto
the Compressor application icon, they’ll appear as separate source les, each in its own job.
Note: If you’re creating Dolby Digital Professional (AC-3) surround sound streams, you won’t use
all the channels listed in the table at once. For a diagram of the Dolby audio coding modes, see
Dolby Digital Professional Encoder pane on page 78.
2 Drag the renamed source audio les to the Batch window.
If the les in the group are named correctly (see step 1) and the group has fewer than seven les,
Compressor collapses the entire group of les into what appears as a single surround source
media le in the Batch window
Manually assign source audio les to channels of a surround sound stream
1 To import the source audio les, do one of the following:
•
Choose Job > New Job With Surround Sound Group (or press Command-Control-I).
•
Click the Add Surround Sound button in the Batch window.
•
Control-click in the batch and choose New Job With Surround Sound Group from the
shortcut menu.
The channel assignment interface opens.
2 To assign a source audio le to a channel, do one of the following:
•
Drag the source audio le from the Finder to the icon for a specic channel (for example, L).
•
Click the icon for a specic channel (for example, L) and use the Open dialog to locate the
source audio le intended for that channel.
The le is now assigned to the L (left front) channel.
3 Repeat step 2 for each of the source audio les that you intend to include in the surround stream.
Note: If you’re creating Dolby Digital Professional (AC-3) surround sound streams, you won’t use
all the channels listed in the table at once. For a diagram of the Dolby audio coding modes, see
Dolby Digital Professional Encoder pane on page 78.
