Export to media with mono audio

I am working on a project that is using footage that has been recorded to the camera in stereo using both tracks, and in stereo using only the left track. I am a novice with Premier Pro and wondering how to export this project to media with the audio in mono. I need to export it as a SD file for Vimeo, and also as a MPEG2_DVD.
The church I'm doing the project for has complained that when playing the video through their projection system that all the audio that was recorded to only the left track was not playing when I exported the files as stereo.
The project also has other audio tracks (background music, etc) that are stereo.
Thanks for your help
I am using Premier Pro CS5

I tried using the fill right effect and got a muted result. Someone told me a long time ago that if you put the exact same signal on both tracks of a stereo audio file that they will cancel each other out. Apparently they were correct because when I applied the fill right effect my audio was silent, I only got it back when I removed the effect.
So if I create a sequence with a mono master track can I nest other sequences into it that were created with a stereo master track?
I've already created about 1-1/2 hours worth of sequences that represent chapters and would prefer not to have to recreate them all.

Sending transcoded clip to Premiere Pro with Mono audio

Hi there,
I noted that others had asked this question around August 2013 but haven't seen any progress made on this issue, which is that we prefer to edit in Premiere pro with mono audio tracks, but we are unable to make transcoded material come over from Prelude with mono audio.
We need to have total control over our audio tracks and for us in a News/ENG environment that also means fast turnaround production. So we want to choose the part of the XDCAM clip that we want in Prelude, send it to Premiere Pro and put the interview grab (for example) down on track 1 of the Timeline with only talent mike audio (which was recorded on the camera's channel 1) and not have to pan it or worry about doing much else to it. Then we cut the rest of the overlay with sound effects that were recorded on channel 2 going straight to track 2 on the timeline. When we transmit it to head office we send them two discrete channels of audio: talent/VO on Track 1 and effects on Track 2.
We only have a problem when Transcoding is involved. With the audio prefs in PrPro set to "Mono" everything else is fine, its just that when Prelude transcodes a video it makes the audio a hassle for us, because it can only come over to PrPro as a stereo audio track.
Adobe, is there ever going to be the ability to just make a Preference in Prelude to send the clips with Mono audio, as there is in Premiere Pro??
Or has anyone figured this out and I am just missing something?

In Adobe Media Encoder, set up a new preset that has the video and audio settings you want to have your source footage transcoded to:
Then name and save that preset. The next time you launch Prelude, the preset will be an option for you to select to use for transcoding your material.

CS4 Pro Export to Media Encoder has Audio, Titles, w/out Video

My Sequence is complete and looks great in the Program playback. I am exporting through Media Encoder and all goes well. I Media Encoder the Output looks great as well! The encoding takes about three minutes ends successfully. Yet, when I open the movie I have sound, titles all without video (black screen). I have tried many output formats including quitcktime & h.264 and different presets all with the same result. What's up?

Thanks for the assist! My Export Settings for my latest attempt:

How to export a QT with eight audio tracks

Hi All. I want to export a sequence with 8 separate audio tracks (interviews on 1&2, music on 7&8, sound effects and ambient sound on the others) so that the resulting QT has 8 separate and distinct tracks, matching the tracks in FC.
The goal is for a future editor at the TV station I work at to be able to take the video and ambient audio, but use different music.
In sequence settings, I've got 'audio output' set to 8, with each grouping checked 'dual Mono'. But when I export, I get a QT with a mixed down stereo pair on channels 1 and 2 (with audio from all the FC tracks), and six empty tracks.

I have a video tutorial...goes into a bit more detail, including how to make those 8 options happen:

Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cole

Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
Hmm,

Export to Quicktime with multiple Audio Tracks?

Hi all --
I am on a tight deadline (48 hrs!) to deliver a Quicktime Prores file with 6 audio tracks: ch 1+2 dialog, ch 2+3 music&effects, ch 4+5 stereo mix. I'm working with FCP 6.
Now, I have figured out how to export the FCP 6 project to a Quicktime file with multiple audio tracks (in the Project settings, I specify 3 stereo channels, then I assign each audio track to one of the channels and export everything to a Quicktime file).
However, how can I send a stereo mix to channels 4+5?? FCP only allows me to assign each audio track one but not multiple output channels, and I didn't see a way where I could create a bus.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

Can you export a Quicktime with multiple audio tracks?

I have a video with split audio tracks.
I'd like to archive a copy that retains all the individual tracks so that other people could just open the file later and not have to reconstruct the tracks (i could certainly archive all the tracks individually).
the problem i'm having is that FCP seems to only want to allow me to export 2 tracks of audio. I may be missing a setting, but i'm not sure.
I can digitize a clip from a digibeta with 4+ tracks, and when i open the clip in QT, it recognizes the individual tracks, so it seems as if the capabilities are there.
have they just not been integrated yet?

Can I export to tape with 4 audio channels

I am editing a short piece in PP CS3 for a TV station who require delivery by tape (I'm proposing to use mini-DVCAM). Part of their audio requirements are that program audio be on tracks 1 & 2, with Music and effects on tracks 3 & 4.
Is it possible to deliver this as one file (video plus 4 audio tracks) or will I need to deliver either 3 files (video plus 2 seperate stereo audio files) or 5 files( video plus 4 individual mono audio files)? The last two options seem a little unprofessional, requiring them to recompile the final product.

No, yes.

Exporting QT file with multiple audio tracks

I'm trying to create a digibeta tape of my movie. The company who does it wanted a QuickTime file with the movie where there were 2 audio tracks (4 in sterio). One with the music and sound effects and another with narration and interviews. I'm not sure if this is possible or where to set the option for this. Can anyone help?

Command+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, go to the Audio Outputs tab and change the Outputs to 4 whilst keeping the Grouping as Stereo.
Back on the timeline, ensure your audio media is on the correct audio track for export, eg, all music on 7&8 , 9&10, VO on 5 and/or 6 , etc etc. Basically, keeping an organised timeline without spreading audio over random tracks really helps.
Ensure the audio tracks are assigned to the correct channels. To do this, on the timeline you see the 'destination buttons' A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 etc etc... next to each button is a padlock, then you have the Toggle Auto Select icon. Control-click on this icon and you'll see the Audio Outputs setting, which shows which stereo pair that particular track is assigned to. In this case, you'll want to assign Music and Effects to 3&4, whilst keeping narration and interviews on 1&2.

FCP7 export prores 422HQ with discrete audio displays incorrect timecode in quicktime7?

Hi all
I have been exporting Prores 422 HQ files as a SAS QT movie in FCP7 to create discrete audio channels for the file. My issue is that once the file is complete and I open it in quick time 7, the timecode progressivly gets out of sync. For example, my file has bars and tone from 00:58:30:00 - 00:59:30:00. When I open the file in QT7 and change the bottom left corner to read timecode, the file starts out at 58:30, but at the end of the bars and tone, the timecode is 59:31, not the normal 59:30. Then, as the movie goes on, the timecode gets more and more out of sync.
Now the conusing part is that when I my same file back in to FCP, or AVID or Resolve, the timecode is fine. So it only seems to do this when opened in QT7. The audio doesn't go out of sync either.
Maybe its an issue with my FCP sequence settings? This has never happened before with any other file we open in QT7 and I have been trying to do some research about this issue but nothing seems to be coming up. Any ideas?

The exported file plays fine, no glitches. The original file that I use to create the new discrete audio file shows correct timecode when played in QT7. The original file is also a prores 422 HQ file captured from a HDSR 444 tape.

Exporting a project with multiple audio tracks changes the loudness level regardless of export format

I recently had to submit a TVC and discovered that premiere was changing the loudness level after export, when the TVC failed the quality check.
I checked the audio loudness of other formats that I had exported and the same thing had happened the audio loudness, it had changed.
After a bit of troubleshooting I found a workaround. I mixdown all of the tracks in adobe audtion to one track and then imported it into premeire.
Once I did this the audio loudness was not changed after exporting.
Workflow for when it didn't work.
I used edit in adobe audtion for the audio tracks from premiere.
Matched the audio to the loudness level I wanted, and then saved each track.
Export from premiere.
To Check Audio Loudness
Bring in exported file into new premiere project
Edit the audio in adobe audtion.
Drag the audio file into match audio to check loudness level.
I am using
Adobe Premiere Pro CC v8.1
Windows 7 on PC
Please fix this adobe.

What did your Broadcast Quality Control pick up on?
Audio Levels and Loudness are two different things in this regard.

Export quicktime trouble with splitted audio

Hi, I'm getting 4 movies of audio when "self contained" as a quicktime movie. It is a regualr NTSC 720x480 sequence. I put the "self contained" movie in my drive to share and nobody can read it Besides, I cannot burn DVDs anymore with those results. I really don't know what happened. Anyone getting something similar?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Kevan has the answer to the file-splitting problem. But once you have that straightened out, the reason others may not be able to play it may be that they don't have FCP installed on their system. Right-click on the self-contained file and choose 'Get Info.' Change the 'Opens With' to QuickTime Player and add a .mov extension to the file name if it doesn't already have it.

Export MXF with multiple audio channels for broadcast

Hi,
I work at a broadcast company as an editor. We always used FCP with the free sony xdcam plugin to export. This plugin seems to be one of the rare ways to export an MXF with 4 audio channels. I don't know exactly why we need to export it for broadcasting with 4 audio channels, but we do.
Since our workload has grown enormously the last few months and it will only become more we are optimizing our workflow. We also work with a lot of different endboards in After Effects and we made a nice template to work with. And since AE and Premiere can make a dynamic link we are considering changing from FCP to Premiere.
Now comes the question!: The only obstacle we could not find an answer to is exporting it with 4 audio channels as an MXF from Premiere CS5. Will there be some development on this level regarding CS6?
A solution to this should save us a lot of time!
Any help will be highly appreciated!
I also attached an example for the usual MXF files we export

I have the same problem. I have a project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
Method:
When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. None of the channels are muted.
Result:
The rendered file contains 8 channels, but only the first two channels contains any audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
I don't understand your answer to wleoni75's question. Could you please help me further?

Exporting 6 channel discrete mono tracks (5.1 mix) I only get 2 tracks with compressed audio and 4 empty track on my output.

Exporting 6 channel discrete mono tracks (5.1 mix) I only get 2 tracks with compressed audio and 4 empty track on my output. I'm using Premiere Pro CC14, sequence settings and export setting pasted below. Please help need to export feature trailer for iTunes release next week. Yikes!!!

Thanks for the notes. Im almost there but not quite. I create my sequence 5.1 like you said
then map the dots and LFE. But when I go export media is only give me the option of 1 track 5.1 not 6 discrete channels.
I check my settings and they LOOK right
then I go into my modify clip settings and I see the number of audio tracks as 1 so maybe thats why Im getting only 1 channel 5.1.
But when I select different settings in modify clip environment I can get it to LOOK correct to me
everything seems to be assigned correctly. But when I go back to export it only still gives me the same option of exporting with 5.1 as a single track.

How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer. I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
We use adobe premiere pro 4. We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels. When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us. When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel. Also useless.
When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down.
this is the problem. Each of our 4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue. When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language.
Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels? How do you do it?
Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

Hi Steve,
Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
Thanks
