    You can convert and export audio into a format suited to your intended use.

• Can I edit files recorded or shot with apps other than Spatial Audio Video Tool ?
  • Only files recorded or shot with the Spatial Audio Video Tool app can be edited.
  • Files recorded or shot with other apps cannot be used.
• Why is the audio output format I want sometimes not displayed when exporting files using the Spatial Audio Video Tool app?

  When exporting a project that combines videos recorded in different recording modes, the available audio output formats are limited.

  For example, if a project combines Ambisonics, Binaural, and Stereo videos, only Stereo will be displayed as the audio output format.
