How do I set up stereo audio tracks as default in Premiere using the ProRes 422 codec?
Forgive me if this has been asked many times before. I have searched but can't find anything that explains it in language that doesn't require an advanced degree in computer engineering.
I am a recent convert for our beloved FCP 7. I am learning to love Premiere dearly - but the audio part of it drives me nuts.
I have exported from FCP a series of files as ProRes 422 movies with stereo audio tracks. I want to bring them into Premiere in the same way. But when I do it squashed everything into a single audio file.
This plays havoc with the panning - especially in mixes that have stereo music mixes. Apart from that it just confuses me.
Also. when I create a new project from scratch in Premiere and I select the custom ProRes 422 setting it only allows ProRes 422 mono audio. I don't see a codec for anything else (ie. stereo).
Am I missing something?
I have looked in all the preferences areas and can't find anywhere to change this. I just want to be able to import simple, basic two track audio (and have it show up the same) as I would in FCP, ProTools and the myriad other editing programs I use.
I also want to be able to set up a basic two track stereo timeline/sequence without having to reinvent the wheel.
Many thanks for any help and your patience. I am slowly tearing my hair out and spending long periods sitting in the corner hugging my knees and weeping.
My specs. Preferred editing codec: ProRes 422
Premiere pro version CS6 (6.05)
Thanks again.
Go to the Project Panel, select all clips and rightclick/modify/audio channels.
Set it to 2 tack and mono.
When you drop the clip onto the timeline the stereo will come in on two tracks.
You can also set this to default in the Preferences under Audio (before importing the clips) (Stereo set to mono).

How do I add/import multiple audio tracks when adding a video to the Elements timeline?
I have 2 audio tracks that have been made, but only 1 is being brought in. ( It is a .Ts video file that is from Hauppauge Capture and it has game play audio and commentary audio that is being over-layed.) They are written as separate audio tracks but when imported into Premier only 1 of the 2 are being brought in. Is there a way to bring in both files?

It is my recollection that we had a similar question a little while ago on this question. I do not recall the outcome. My first impression "it is what it is", but I am trying to dust off my memory to make sure that the user did not come up with a unique way to workaround the situation. I will start searching for the thread that I think that I remember.
If you find the thread first, please post and let us know.
More later.

Stereo audio tracks missing - have mono track only
After recently downloading DV footage, I find that there is only a "mono" channel shown on the timeline. Several subsequent "test" takes and downloads continue to produce only the mono channel. Imported "aiff" files appear in timeline with stereo tracks, but material from my DV camera continues to only contain a single mono track. (All settings on camera have been checked and re-checked and appear OK)
Is there some setting in FCE HD that needs to be re-set? If so, where is it??
Any input/advice will be appreciated.After recently downloading DV footage, I find that

"Mayday, Mayday" ! I've had my camcorder bench-checked for the stereo audio signals (it's operating fine), replaced the firewire cable between the camcorder and the iMac, and reloaded FCE HD. Test clips still show only a "mono" channel for audio - no stereo audio. Test clips made with a different camcorder produced the same results (mono channel only)
After downloading yet another test clip, the FCE HD software responds with the following message:
"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape"
Is this why I am only seeing one (mono) audio channel ? Can anyone tell me what this means and how I should fix it ? -
How to create a new independent audio track?
okay, probably a stupid question, but how can i create a new audio track that is not a "slave" to an already existing audio track. for example, all of my 8 audio tracks are in use, so when i try to open a new one, it is affected by the highlighted tracks specifications, making it very frustrating. please help and thanks.
Some things are just backward in Logic...we just have to get use too it.....
jord, I agree.. it's not that hard to understand the difference between an arrange track and an audio object. the fact that you can have many tracks in the arrangement that all use the same audio object or midi object is a great thing.
I think if people get their head around the fact that the arrange page _is not_ simply a representation of what is physically available in terms of tracks, then it all becomes clear.
I would recommend all new users to do the following:
click on your arrange window, and select the top track. start hitting delete until you have deleted every single track in the arrangement. you now have a blank page. but, importantly, the environment of available audio tracks/audio instruments/midi channels/whatever has not changed one single bit. you can now assign anything to your arrange page. 55 arrange tracks that are all using audio instrument 1 if you so desire. or, sequentially create new tracks that are all using subsequent channels/instruments by controlshiftreturn (by default).
people often get confused by doing the following: they create a new track in the arrangement - say they had audio instrument 1 and then created another _arrange track_ of audio instrument 1. then, they look in the parameter box for that second arrange track, and change it to audio instrument 2. then they get annoyed that for some reason, both tracks now change to audio instrument 2.. but this is totally normal, because you have changed the assigment of the same audio object, that just happened to be present in the arrangement in the form of 2 arrange tracks. the way to change what object is assigned to an arrange track is to click-hold on the track name (right there where the track is in the arrange list) and then you will see a pop up of all of the available objects, hierarchically presented to represent the environment layers in your song. or, instead of doing this, you can just create an arrange track that uses the next available audio track/instrument by using the key command described above (controlshiftreturn).
it's not at all illogical or backwards! when I am writing a midi part using an audio instrument, I (very) often want multiple arrange tracks of the same instrument so I can test out different ideas or variations.. muting all except the one I currently want to hear. and importantly, they aren't "copies" or "clones" of the same track, nor are they "linked" tracks that change assignment together, as many people seem to think. they are independant arrange tracks that just happen to have the same track or instrument assigned to them. once you get this, you start getting logic.
the way to build new audio objects or midi objects (which is what people mean when they say "new track") is and has always been in the environment. although, now there are shortcuts to do it by using the function 'create multiple tracks' which will produce the objects for you in the arrangement and add them to your arrangement in one operation. you also need to be aware of the setting in your audio prefs (or in hardware and drivers, can't remember which) where you define the maximum number of tracks that the audio engine will allow, this being another stalling point for many new users.
like I said, once you 'get' this architecture in your head, you start realising how powerful and flexible working on arrangements in logic will be. for me, it's a way better implementation than playlists in protools, for example. -
When i try to upload a .mts file from my Sony camera to Premiere Pro CC it refuses to play the audio! Ofcourse i could convert every single clip but it takes tons of time. How can i make Pr play audio track properly?
Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks? -
Stereo Audio tracks unlinking themselves ...
Hi All,
I'm still using FCP HD 4.5.
My stereo audio tracks are automatically unlinking from each other and becoming separate mono tracks. I'm not unlinking them, they just suddenly started doing this on their own. I'm having to go back, highlight the two mono tracks, and click option-L to get them back to a stereo pair.
In some of these cases i have unlinked the audio track from it's video track (APPLE-L), but not in all cases. Either way, i can't figure why this would make a stereo audio track unlink itself into two mono tracks.
Ideas? (Besides upgrading my version of FCP)
PaulYou do not say if this in your timeline. You probably have the link button depressed or undepressed.
Check that first.

How To Create Bookmarks in an Audio Track
Today I upgraded from iMovie 06 to iMovie 09 and cannot figure how to add bookmarks to an audio track for timing my video/photo transitions. In iMovie 06, I used "Open Apple-B" to create bookmarks at the beat of an audio track but in iMovie 09 I don't even find reference in any books/on-line help to do so.
In iMovie, they are called Beat Markers. If you search for Beat Markers in the Help you should find it.

Using MPEG2 video with 2 stereo audio tracks
Hi.
I am using MPEG 2 files that have 2 audio streams, each stereo. When importing to Premiere CS5.5, only first stereo pair is used, i cannot get the second stream. Is it possible to fix this?A production company in my city gave the files to me, but I don't know with what software they are recorded.
When i check the files in Gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/index.htm) they are OK, it founds two MPEG1 layer2 stereo audio pairs.
Also, if I play the files in VLC i can choose from Audio Track 1 and Track 2. -

Hi,
I am Running latest Audition CC on a 2009 MacPro running the latest Yosemite. I can see that the audio Audio track is displaying, I can see the level rise and fall as I scrub but I can hear NO sound to headphones. WHY?
I have checked the MacPro's system preferences and clicked through the Audition settings but I can't see where the output to device ( headphones) might be muted. What am I missing?

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
Thanks for your help in advance.I have the same question but I am using two pc's

Hi
Once you have setup a MIDI Activity object (or keyboard objects) in Layout, create the required number of Instrument channels in Edit Mode.
Select each channel in turn, and choose "Keyboard": Multi-Timbral in the Channel Strip Inspector. In the pop-up choose the required MIDI channel.
