How Can I Ensure My Video Clips Are Always In Stereo?
I'm using a Canon HC VIXIA HFM41 and recording sometime with just the camera's audio, and other times wih external mics. I then edit in Camtasia. Why are my clips sometime getting rendered in mono and sometimes in stereo. How can I get it always to record and render in stereo?
