Hello,  
We have a need to export 7.1 audio such that it is a single track - with each channel inside that 1 track of the QT. Flame seems to want to make a separate track for each channel in the resultant QT file.

Currently we are fixing this in resolve, but it would be a lot easier to do it directly with Flame.

Any thoughts?

I think you need to keep doing it the way you are.

That bag of “gonna have to do this in Resolve/Nuke/Photoshop/etc” is getting a bit heavier all the time.
