Default 5.1 Interleaved Files

Hey Everyone,

I've searched around and haven't been able to come up with an answer that's not years old so I thought I'd ask...

I've always delivered 5.1 as discrete mono files to ensure that there's no issues with path order but as of late I've been mixing a lot for broadcast and am being asked to deliver interleaved files. So unless I'm wrong, we're back at that antiquated issue of Pro Tools only exporting 5.1 interleaved files as L/C/R/Ls/Rs/LFE, correct? If that's the case, what third-party software is everyone using to re-order their interleaved files these days?

Funny enough, everything seems to work fine with Premier because it seems to look at the .L, .C, .R,... suffixes and re-order the files to SMPTE when importing for layback. I'm amidst checking about Media Composer, and I guess I should see about FCP, but it's probably wishful thinking.

Thanks,

Ryan
