5.1 is good for ambient sounds in an environment too, in addition to special fx.  

Atmos surround systems are costly. I have a very decent 5.1 HT system at home and am quite happy with it. Everyone that hears and watches are more than impressed. When they hear the cost... well, not for them... too much money. Then I point to my hi-end 2ch audio system and tell them they don't want to know the price. But there are some that ...

sjs94704:OK, what I did was as a test only I went through and sang one song all the way through using all three cameras so that I have some video to work with.  When I click on the gear  I see the reset layout so I clicked on it.  For that, let me clarify, should I only have to do this once or each time I use it? Once. I did it ...

I just used the MCE and it worked as it always has. I first Sync audio and video clips, and then select Main Audio from the drop down menu. It's working on my computer with PS23. Even if I don't sync, I still have access to both drop down menus for Main Audio and Sync. Seems like the MCE is a bad install. You might try in the upper left corner ...

It's not a bug, but an omission. I don't know the reasoning behind it (cost vs actual usage by purchasers). It could be like Bluray. It's an optional buy now.

Let me start off by saying I've never edited a video for 5.1. But I agree, if it imports it, it should export it too. That's a failing on PS/Corel part by not incorporating the ability in Export. Where I disagree with your comment, ''but the fact that it is incapable of outputting a final product of even the most basic standards'' is not true. ...

I haven't forgotten you. I have on my computer PS20-23 and will test tomorrow. I just got back from being in Africa so have a few things to catch up on. 

For ''me'', after all the updates for each version has rolled out, I never use a previous version of PS. PS23 has been pretty rock stable for me (and others have posted the same thing) when it was released. My computer specs are below, and since I've been involved in computers (networking, IT, repairs, etc..), I try and keep mine in as best shape ...

Question which version of PS are you using? I've never had any problems doing music videos where everything is synced to a music file.....
