Premiere Pro CC + Multichannel Audio Export issues?

Currently I need to deliver 6 Channels of 5.1 audio mixed needs to be paralled with film and add Closed Caption and export as QT (Pro Res 422(HQ) with 6 Channels of Audio).
When I Try to export from Premiere Pro CC, I was asked combine 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 and when I export get 7 Channels with 3 stereo pairs.
Is it not possible to export 6 Channels only export as individual tracks along with Video in a QuickTime Export. Also have option only to select 5 or 7 Channels rather than my 6 channels why?
Attached screenshot for reference.

I know this thread is old but I figured I'd answer anyway if anyone comes across this post with the same question.
Premiere Pro will still export 6 uncompressed channels of audio when you select 5.1.
It doesn't bother giving you the option for a 6 channel QT file because it is the same as 5.1.
I had the same issue a while ago where I wanted to export a ProRes HQ file with 6 channels of audio but instead of 5.1, it was Lt-Rt (1-2), M&E (3-4), SOT (5-6). I just selected 5.1 when exporting then configure the channels as mono in Quicktime 7 Pro. Works perfectly.

Premiere Pro CC - MPEG2-DVD export issues

I have two projects that I am attempting to export using MPEG2-DVD, both exports begin to playback correctly but about half way through the video begins cutting out, flashing white and and green, and then cuts to completely green. Also the sequence length is 25:18, and after export it is 18:05. Export preset for MPEG2-DVD was NTSC 23.976p Wide, nothing else changed. I also tried exporting with Media Encoder, with the same results.
Video was shot with Canon DSLR and GoPro at 24p. Project is to 23.976fps. Video effects added in sequence are Warp Stabilizer, Lumetri looks, Brightness & Contrast, and Three-Way Color Corrector. I disabled all effects, exported with same settings as before, video was at the same shortened length, but the white and green coloring is gone.
Any ideas of why the video effects might be distorting the color? And why the time is dropping from 25:18 to 18:05?

Any luck getting the green and white lines corrected? We broadcast on a local cable channel and our inserter requires MPEG-2 format. When we export in MPEG-2 format from Premier Pro though we get the green and white lines when broadcasting. Right now we're having to export it in a different format, and then use a separate program to convert it to MPEG-2.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Audio Waveform Issue

I've recorded several interviews with my Canon 5D MKII and Zoom H4N. I imported both files into the timeline but the audio from the Zoom H4N doen't have an audio waveform until I zoom into the timeline. I recorded a screen capture but my mic wasn't plugged all the way in so theirs no audio. If anyone has ever come across this issue or knows how to fix it please shoot me a message.
Link to the screen capture.

I had to clean out the Media Cache to get the audio wave form working correctly for the Zoom H4N audio. I don't think this problem is exclusive to the H4N but it is interresting knowing where the error came from.

Multichannel audio export in Premiere Pro CS 5

Anyone know how to get a multichannel audio export from CS5 - I can find plenty of tutorials on CS6 or CC but not 5, which seems to have "16 Channel" as a sequence option (not "Multichannel") - and when it comes to export there is no Multichannel option - only Stereo, mono, or 5.1
(I have 3 stereo tracks which I'd like to be able to export as 3 separate audio tracks contained within a quicktime file)

Jim thanks for listening. The same file card XCAM removed, placed in timeline premiere CS4, appears the 4 separate mono audio channels, quabdo put in timeline premiere CS5.5, it arquivoMP4, so put a audio channel.

Premiere Pro CS5 skipping audio error

Anyone come across this:
When trying to edit an AIFF audio file in the Premiere Pro timeline, the audio skips when playing back,
meaning that after a few seconds it just skips several seconds and starts playing a different part further on in the same AIFF...
The indicator bar does not visually "skip": just moves on steady as it should.
Related to this:
I have a project that was converted from After Effects CS4 to CS5, that shows the following strange behaviour in CS5:
The comps contain layers that consist of AIFF audio files. When doing an audio preview (.) or a RAM preview, the audio does not play the part of the AIFF file that, according to the time-code, it should play. It starts where it should, but then suddenly it skips a few seconds to another part of the AIFF. All that while the red indicator bar suggests it is still playing lineair as it should (the red line does not "skip" to another point.
This leaves me with an unworkable situation, as it is quite unpredictable which part of the audio will play right...
As far as i can tell this behaviour only happens with a converted project (CS4 > CS5) in After Effects.
But when I started a new project in Premiere Pro I got the same skipping audio with a totally new project!
Converted back to CS4 for now.

Mark,
Your observations are probably spot on. I cannot only comment through PrPro 2.0, so changes could certainly have occurred. I do know that CS4 changed a lot, regarding Audio.
In my CS2 Production Studio version, I have had up to 22 Timelines/Sequences and most have had from 6 to 24 Audio Tracks, with a DD 5.1 SS Master Track. I have had zero issues with any Audio dropouts. Now, I have had issues with Playback stopping and at totally random spots, and this has happened with very simple to very complex Sequences, and different spots. Sometimes, this has happened with a fresh boot and Project load, but also after many hours of editing. These halts come and go. I've had them happen a dozen times in a row, only to then disappear in that editing session. I've had sessions that lasted for days, with not one, only to fire up the program, and get 3 halts in a row. That has been my only, even moderately similar experience.
Wish I could comment on later versions, but I cannot.
Thanks for your observations and for reporting,
Hunt

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.

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Editing audio in a Timeline panel

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/editing-audio-timeline-panel.html

Or, go into the audio units format of the timeline and manually adjust the audio portion of the cut to hit as close to a zero crossing as possible. Jim's way is the easiest, and sufficient for most people, but if you need perfect cuts and not a quick fade, it is possible to do it in Premiere Pro.

Can Premiere Pro CS 5.5 Export An XML To The New Final Cut Pro X?

Why does Premiere Pro CS5 process audio source before exporting clip in AME CS5?

Hello everyone, my first post here. I am currently trying out the trial CS5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro. I've been using Premiere Pro CS5 to put together family videos. I select a certain portion of a sequence and queue it for export in Media Encoder CS5 in the format H.264 for iPod with video and audio.
Now in AME I have a queue list of about 5 clips from the sequence. But when I hit the Start Queue button, the bottom left of the progress bar states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]" for all 5 clips from the sequence then creates the first output file.
Then it moves to encode the second and again states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]" for all 5 clips of mt sequence then spits out only the second output file.
This continues for the remaining 3 output files. The total sequence length is ~32 minutes with transitions and it takes about 35 minutes to export which is all consumed by the process audio source of the 5 clips in my sequence for 5 separate times.
Is there a certain reason why Media Encoder or Premiere Pro does this process of audio source? Is this process necessary or needed? I experimented with choosing different output formats but the results are the same. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Now that's pretty good follow-up to your first post, and quickly too! Nice detective work.
As you have found, there is basically a Render/Replace operation going on in PrPro, to get the material in the correct form for AME.
Thank you for reporting, as it saved me, and others, from basically saying what you said.
Good luck, and sorry that you beat us to the punch.

Multichannel Audio Export directly out of Premiere

So, exporting a quicktime with 8 tracks of discrete audio is critical to my workflow. In FCP7, this was a tedioius process. In Premiere Pro CC, I have figured out the correct workflow, and sad to say, it really hasn't gotten any easier. But I have come across a strange bug. It seems to me that you cannot export quicktimes with mulitchannel audio DIRECTLY out of Premiere Pro, rather you have to queue them in MediaEncoder to get the tracks to properly split out and not just be a stereo mix. Am I correct in this? If so, this needs to be corrected.
AND, I would love to see an easier workflow, for example, a nice easy sequence based preset.
Thanks for your help and thoughts,
Brian

The post cut off most of what i tried to copy in there. Anyway, we figured it out:
The Media Encoder, by default, uses the Media Cache folder in After Effects for a render space. As I said in the original post, this is a lab environment, so all the machines are set up using imaging software. With the original image set up using the local Administrator account, the permissions on that folder to everyone else who logged on were set to read-only, so when anyone else tried to use it, it would fail. I re-set the permissions for read-write access for Everyone, and now it's working fine. Thanks to the people who offered assistance

Premiere Pro CC not queuing exports into Media Encoder CC

I try to make this simple...
standard export from PP CC to ME CC
File -> export -> media, then hit queue.
Media encoder opens and just sits there. Left it for hours to see if anything would ever happen, and nothing ever did.
I've restarted the programs and machine dozens of times and that does nothing.
I can still export from PP CC.
I have no CS6 products left on my box.
I also tried to open the project from Media Encoder and load the sequence that way with no luck.
Thanks for the help!

I had this exact same problem, and I figured out the solution in my case. I know the original problem report is ancient, but there are recent replies, so I am adding my solution here. I spent untold hours figuring this out, so hopefully this will save someone else some time.
There can be other causes to this problem, I'm sure. I'm just telling you about what fixed this problem for me.
Just to clarify, here is the symptom: Running Windows 8.1. Standard export from Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 to Media Encoder CC 2014.2, using File -> Export -> click Queue. Media Encoder opens and just sits there. Premiere Pro is hung and has to be forcibly terminated.
I spent countless hours on this. I thought I had messed up my computer's configuration somehow, so (believe it or not) I re-installed Windows on a freshly formatted hard disk, re-installed Creative Suite, same problem. (I can't believe I wasted all that time; I feel like a dummy.)
I finally narrowed it down to a very simple test case with a very tiny one-clip sequence that is less than one second long. Same problem.
It turned out to be a problem in the Premiere Pro project file itself. I suspect that a small file corruption somehow snuck into the project file, that was completely invisible. In that clip in my project, if I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem with exporting to Media Encoder went away. If I then re-added the very same "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem was still gone. It must be some small corruption in the ".prproj" file that went away when I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect and re-added it again.
NOTE: I DON'T think that there is some kind of bug with the "Vocal Enhancer" effect. I don't think this problem has anything to do with "Vocal Enhancer" per se. It is just some kind of small generic corruption in the project file. When Premiere Pro tries to export that sequence to Media Encoder, the problem occurs. It was just a coincidence in my case that removing and re-adding the "Vocal Enhancer" effect made the problem go away.
BOTTOM LINE: If you find that you have this bug where Premiere Pro hangs when exporting to the Media Encoder queue, try the following: Create a brand new project with a single clip in it, and export it to the Media Encoder queue. If that works, you know that it is not a problem with Premiere Pro in general; it's a problem in your specific project file. Once you've made this determination, make a copy of your original project file, and remove clips from the project until the problem goes away. Keep narrowing it down until you find the clip(s) that are the issue. Then, try removing and re-adding any effects on those clips, or even removing and re-adding the clips themselves, to fix the problem. Eventually, by removing and re-adding a specific effect or clip to your project, the problem will vanish (hopefully). It's just a matter of narrowing down which half of your project the problem occurs in, then which half of that half, etc., until you have it narrowed down to one clip or group of clips that need to be removed and re-added.
Having said all this, it is a bug that ideally should be fixed so someone else doesn't spend untold hours trying to figure out the problem. To that end, I create a tiny ZIP file that just has project file and the single media clip needed to reproduce the problem, along with a small description "READ ME.txt" file that explains the very simple steps to reproduce the problem. I have submitted this as a bug report to Adobe using their official online bug report form at www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform along with a link to the ZIP file so they can download and reproduce the problem.
If anyone else is curious about reproducing this same bug, you can also download the small ZIP file if you want to. I guarantee it doesn't have any viruses or anything - it's just two small files to reproduce the problem. To download the ZIP file containing that project file, media file, and "READ ME.txt" file, you can get it at www.forgaard.com/files/PremiereProBug.zip.
I hope this saves someone some time. This one sucked up a zillion hours of me chasing apparitions.
I was having a problem with exporting a sequence to AME. PPro would freeze and I would have to force the program to close. This was on a project where I was just running out a bunch of interview clips for the director to look at. One of them had a audio effect (DeHummer) on it, and it was the one that was giving me troubles. I selected the audio and right clicked then "Render and Replace" then it would export to AME with no issue. Thank you for your well written response to this thread. While it may not have fixed the OP's issue, it did help with mine....
Thanks,

Premiere Pro CS5 fails to export to Media Encoder CS5

Hello all,
I'm working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Version 5.0.3 on two 64 bit Windows 7 computer systems (laptop and desktop). On my laptop everything works fine and has for some time. We recently installed CS5 on this desktop (new computer). Using the same settings that I use on my laptop, I can encode video by going to File->Export->Media and selecting Export. However, if I chose to Queue the media into Adobe Media Encoder version 5.0.1 it fails to work. Media Encoder opens properly, and the progress bar for exporting the media goes to 100% and disappears like it should. At that point no file appears in the queue. Any help as to what is happening? I'm not receving any error messages that could give me a hint...
Thanks!

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the response. Due to the intermittent nature of this problem I wanted to test more thorougly and can confirm that the files are PCM at 44.1Khz. The error message is, "The file format is not supported", and IIRC the files opened fine in Flash (which will be explained later). Audacity successfully opens the files.
I have resolved the issue and discovered exactly where the 'fault' lies.
Adobe determines the file type by it's filename - rather than using methods in Cocoa library or by looking at the RIFF header. My files are titled, "yyyy.mm.ddName" (Reason/Record does not automatically add the extension in this case), however some files were titled "yyyy-mm-ddName.aif". The former (with periods) would result in the filename extension being truncated from the file's name, but the file 'Kind' is still identified as an "Aif C Audio".
On OSX, any file with an unknown extension should also have it's file type checked using the Cocoa Library since the OS does keep record of the file type that can (and should) be used by applications.
A fix to this in the code is that under OSX, the Cocoa Library file methods should also consult the file type - given that many programs on OSX may happily save without explicitly using an extension in the file name.\
Flash (which didn't yield this problem) may have additional code to ascertain the filetype by seeing if it recognizes the data (given that Flash interracts with streammed data that would not have a file extension).

Premiere Pro/Media Encoder CS4 exports 0 KB movie, any solution?

I have a (simple) project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 with two video files (same source/codec) and one audio file. The video file starts a few seconds before the audio file starts. There are no transitions and effects, besides filling the left audio channel. However, the problem is that all my attempts at exporting this project to a video file with h.264/aac, PAL widescreen, have been futile.
The Adobe Media Encoder CS4 4.2.0 takes a considerable amount of time (~4.5 hours) and generates files (m4v & aac) of an appropriate size (~2.5 GB), but deletes those files as soon as it is finished with encoding. This leaves me with an empty y.mp4 of exactly 0 KB.
I have fully updated both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. My system is a MacBook with an Intel 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, running Mac OS 10.6.
Is there any known solution for this problem?

Welcome to the forum.
First, a few questions:
1.) What is the source footage's format/CODEC (both your Video and your Audio)?
2.) Can you tell us about the I/O sub-system on your MB, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, free space (very important) and how you have them allocated?
3.) Can you Export to another muxed format, as a test?
4.) Can you Export as non-muxed (Multiplexing set to None) and get two usable elemental/elementary streams? Do each play fine? Again, this is just a test.
As you observe, the two streams are first created, and then when complete, they are muxed into one file with both the Audio and Video stream. Something is causing the muxing to not complete. This could be an issue directly with AME, or perhaps with your H.264 CODEC, or something like free space on your target HDD.
Good luck,
Hunt
