Export MXF with four tracks?

Hi,

Is it possible to export a (preferably) xdcam MXF file with four tracks of audio from FCPX?
1-2 is stereo for the air, and 3-4 is stereo clean without voiceover. In Avid we do this by doing two stereo audio mixdowns and exporting the timeline with all four tracks instead of just a stereo.
Is there any way to do this in fcpx? Could roles be used for this?

Thanks!

You need to download "Sony Content Browser" from here > www.sonycreativesoftware.com/contentbrowser

After installation, you need to export a master file and in the "Open with..." option add the "Content exporter" from your applications folder (app name could be different, I can't temember exactly becuase I was investigating this procedure for a client and then he called saying that he wanted a HDCam instead so I never finished my research). AFAIK, you can use rolls.

You want to assign Roles, then export Media Stems in a single QT multitrack file, perhaps.

Thanks for the replys, guys!

I could get it to work with roles. Just set the VO as a separate role, and set up two stereo tracks on the output.
It is a slight pain that the roles export settings isn't saved with the export preset, so I have to set it up on every new export. But it is still smoother than the Avid workflow.


Also I haven't been been able to get the mxf/content browser thing to work, just mov-wrapped xdcam.
The network I work for prefer mxf since the movs often get a shift in the black levels for some reason. I will run some tests with them on monday.

In Avid I can export a 17.5 mbit xdcam format that I don't have this available in fcpx, only 35 and 50mbit.
Does anyone know if the 18mbit hdv is the same as this?

Thanks again!

Thanks for that!

€749,- is a bit steep for the uses I have for it right now.
