A common question
Can I use it for Dolby Atmos work?
You can export ADM/BW64 with object motion, the professional interchange format also used for Atmos hand-offs. Dolby-specific profiles are not written, so verify the final import in your own environment.
Where a sound goes is decided by the hand, not by numbers. The way you move it while it plays becomes the piece.
