One upload, every listener.

Upload the IAMF and YouTube builds the rest from it: stereo for everyone, 5.1 for living-room systems, and the immersive mix itself as Eclipsa Audio on compatible devices. We have verified Orbit Pro exports end to end.

One thing to know: for YouTube, export the IAMF on its own. A stereo compatibility track in the same file makes YouTube pick the stereo, and the immersive version never gets built.

Questions

IAMF export, answered

How do I convert an ADM BWF master to IAMF?

Open the ADM BWF in Orbit Pro, choose an export preset — YouTube, Esfera or Full Master — or route it by hand in the export graph, and export. You can monitor the result live before you write the file.

Can I upload IAMF to YouTube?

Yes. We have verified Orbit Pro exports end to end on YouTube: it accepts the IAMF, builds stereo and 5.1 versions from it, and serves the immersive mix to compatible devices as Eclipsa Audio™. For YouTube, upload the IAMF on its own, without a stereo compatibility track.

What happens to objects in an IAMF export?

They can be folded into an ambisonics scene alongside your channel-based elements — and you hear that fold as it happens, so nothing changes behind your back.

Can I export IAMF with video?

Yes, with or without picture. Orbit Pro has a built-in video editor up to 4K, or you can drag an existing video in.

Can one IAMF file hold more than one mix?

Yes — IAMF calls them mix presentations, and Orbit Pro lets you build alternate versions into a single export.

How do I check the IAMF file afterwards?

Open it in Orbit Lite or Orbit Pro and listen on your speakers or headphones, with the picture in sync. IAMF playback in Orbit Lite →
