Importing 12bit Audio on 2 Channels

Hope you can point me in a direction to correct the following issue.
I am using a Canon XL2 and I would like to import two audio recordings into Premiere CS6. The audio recordings have been captured simulteneously using the front microphone. The second audio captured via a wireless microphone (mono). The audio set up in the Canon XL2 is set to 12bit CH1/2 CH3/4
When importing via Capture on Premiere and subsequently import the video/audio file, the audio file info states - 3200Hz 16 Bit - 4 Stereo. When the clip is placed in the timeline, only one stero channel is imported. The mono chanel with the second audio channel has not been imported. I tried to moify the audio channel properties but with no success. In the past I imported a similar clip into Premiere CS5.5. This imported a similar clip into four seperate mono tracks.
I am using a Mac version of Premiere CS6
Any suggestions?
Thanks for taking the time to read this post!

Ok..think I have a solution without downloading additional software.
When I upgraded to Premiere CS6, the previous version CS5.5 was retained on the imac hard drive.
I opened CS5.5 and using this software's video/audio capture, I was successful in importing video/audio from my DV tape. I placed the captured video/audio clip  in the sequence timeline. This automatically converted the audio clip into to four audio channels. I then imported my sequence into Premiere CS6. The four mono audio channels were imported succesfully. Problem solved!

  • Premiere 7.2.2 not importing all audio channels of mpeg-ts

    I'm trying to work on an MPEG-TS, but Premiere is only importing the audio related to the first PID.  There are 6 PIDs in this file, each with two channels of audio, for 12 channels total.  But Premiere only sees the first two.  If I open the file up in Telestream Switch I see all 12 channels.  MediaInfo output is below, any thoughts?  Is this a bug in Premiere?  An import setting I've missed?

    Not certain about HDV but using DV it used to work something like this ...
    - Log the clip then do your capture of the video and Ch 1+2
    - In the Log and Capture window select the Clip Settings Tab
    Set Capture to AUDIO ONLY and the AUDIO FORMAT to Ch 3 + Ch 4
    - Right clic on the clip in the Browser and Select 'Batch Capture'.
    - in the Batch Capture dialog box, uncheck 'Use Logged Clip Settings'
    click ok and away you go.
    in the fwiw catagory, on some cameras, in order to hold 4 channels of audio it will be recorded in 32k/12bit format. It will not be happy in FCP. You may want to up rez it to 48k/16bit in Quicktime before using it. But you probably knew that.
    good luck.

  • Something's wrong with my imported AVCHD audio channels

    I've recently purchased a Panasonic HDC-SD1 camcorder.
    I'm glad that iMovie 08 is capable of importing those AVC videos and perform editing on it. (even though it consumes gigabytes of space for a video of just a few minutes)
    I've discovered a problem with the audio channels.
    I have audio of right channel obviously louder than my left channel.
    I've confimed that the machine is working properly, as I've tried to play back the source file in a PC.
    How do I get it working again?

    I think i should keep all of you updated, in case any one of you are looking for answers in search engines, and found this thread.
    The mentioned problem is basically solved with the latest software update released by Apple. You can get the update through "Software Updates" from the Mac OS drop down menu.
    This update solves the audio balance, which has been tested and verified by myself, though it brings up another problem of previewing videos to be imported.
    Video preview now plays back in mono mode (on right channel). But that should be no big deal and i think should not be discussed in this thread.
    good luck to you all, and have fun with your AVCHD video cam.

  • I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

    I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
    What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony  PMW 320
    When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
    the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
    the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?   
      I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
    What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
    I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
    Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

  • How do I import stereo audio as pan centered, "Dual Mono?"

    Greetings,
    For most of my video recording, I’m running two wireless mics and am recording in stereo.
    90% of the time, I’m working with one track or the other and, because I’m cutting for broadcast news, the pan for the audio needs to be centered.
    Is there a way to import the audio I recorded in stereo as Dual Mono with the pan for each channel center?
    It’s a pain to have to go through each clip and make it Dual Mono and then chose Pan Mod Default to center it.
    I bring in my video as indiviaual clips so I can’t select a single clip in the Event Panel and make my changes for the whole project.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Select the clips in the event, and set the audio as [Dual] Mono!
    There is, as I remember, no option for this during import - but you can select multiple clips and set it on all at once.

  • ???_Missing audio on one channel in Prem.Elem. 4 & 7_???

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem concerning Premiere Elements 7 and I can't find a solution to it. Maybe one of you had this before and is able to help me out.
    I have a project with several clips where I removed the original audio and added a soundtrack file to play along. The problem is that there is only audio on one channel when I play the scene in preview. Balance is set correctly, audio file is all right. If I look at the audio file in the audio preview window both channels are visible and play just fine. If I look at the audio mixer and start the scene preview both channels are visible in the peak meter but I still only hear one channel. It doesn't matter if the audio is mp3 or wave. I looked at the audio preferences (audio output mapping): when I change the speaker setup, change right/left channel for the output devices the missing channel changes to the other side. It seems it is somehow connected to these settings. But it's the same settings as with other projects which work fine. So it's gotta be a project-related problem. It's not only in the preview missing but also when I export the scene to file. It is only with this project, but it's too much work to rebuild it. I tried the project with Premiere Elements 4, but it's the same. Other projects work fine.
    I'm running it on Win XP+SP3, Intel 2,8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia 6800 GT, MSI 865 PE with onboard C-Media 9739A sound chip, lots of HD space.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Chris.

    Thank you both for your answers. The audio file is stereo with different waveforms for each channel; I just checked that in Adobe
    Audition. I also checked the settings of the audio card but there's not much I can change. After these problems occured I updated the
    audio card driver to the newest version available. The audio files comes from the video clip I use in the sequence originally. I severed it from the video to edit it in Audition and re-imported it since Premiere Elements hasn't that much sound editing tools. The audio file is fine. There's no channel volume effect applied to the file. As I said I can load it into another project and everything works fine. Gotta be something in this project.
    Ok, ok I found it! I was playing with the audio tracks and I moved the audio file to the soundtrack track and it works! Putting it back in Audio tracks 1 or 2, one channel is missing. Very strange behavior. Or is there a way to mute one channel on a whole track since it happend to all audio files in Audio tracks 1 or 2?
    Anyway, it's gone and that's great. Thank you for your help!
    Chris.

  • Import an audio file in diadem

    Hi there,
    I have to open/import an audio file (WAV or MP3) in DIAdem (Ver 10.2.0f3031) to make some analysis. For this I installed the Audio dataplugin (Ver. 1.0.0.247). Butr if I open the WAv-file in the Navigator I get an error message, saying that the opeing failed. The WAV file seems not to be corrupted, cause it can be played on a media player.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Is there another way to transform an audio file into a TDM-file?

    Hi Adrià,
    Thanks for the data set, I now know what was going wrong.  It was actually quite easy to debug the problems in my DIAdem 2010 Alpha version, which sports a new feature to play back any channel in the Data Portal as audio.
    There were 2 issues.  The first is that you have to add a time base to the data channel before you export it, the second is that you have to rescale the amplitude of the signal to the bit range (+/- 2^31) of a WAV file.  Here's a quick VBScript that does that, which I did test in DIAdem 10.2:
    Channel = 1WavFilePath = ChnPropValGet(Channel, "sourcedatafilepath") & ChnPropValGet(Channel, "sourceparentname") & ".wav"Call ChnWfPropSet(Channel, "Time", "s", 0, 1/41000) Amplitude = MaxV(Abs(CMin(Channel)), CMax(Channel))Call ChnLinScale(Channel, Channel, 2^31/Amplitude, 0)Call ChnCharacter(Channel)IF FilEx(WavFilePath) THEN Call FileDelete(WavFilePath)Call DataFileSave(WavFilePath, "Audio")

  • Importing 32K audio?

    Hi,
    I recently received a mini DV tape from a closed captioning company that I am having difficulty importing all the audio tracks from. I sent them the original Mini DV 48K audio tape which they then added an audio track containing audio description sending me back a new Mini DV tape back with 32K audio.
    What I have:
    Deck: Sony DSR-11
    Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
    Tape I am trying to import: Minin DV with NS 32K audio
    Issue: When importing the audio from this tape, I only get the original two audio tracks off this tape. However, the audio track containing the audio description does not import even though I hear it while the tape is playing.
    My research: I looked up FS32K audio and FS48K audio in the manual of my Sony deck. I learned FS32K has 4 audio tracks and FS48K has 2 audio tracks.
    Question: Is there any way I can import all audio tracks off this tape?
    Thank you.

    Hi, I kind of hacked my way through this.
    Audio/Video Setting... --> Capture Presets --> Edit
    Made a custom setting with the following changes:
    Changes made under "QuickTime Audio Setting"
    "Input" changed from First 2 Channels to Second 2 Channels.
    "Format" changed from 48.000 kHz 16 bit 2 chan to 32.000 kHz 16 bit 2 chan
    After making these changes, I then successfully imported the audio description track. However, I have not been able to figure out how to import all 4 audio tracks at once. If anyone knows, please let me know. In the meantime, I hope this post helps anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

  • Premiere CS5 doesn't import AVCHD audio

    Sorry out there, but I do need some help!
    Premiere CS5 wont import the audio of AVCHD clips (1920x1080 50i) shot with a Panasonic AG-HMC151E.
    Is it possible I miss an AC3 codec? Thanx

    If the AC3 is fully Dolby-compliant, the full-paid version of PrPro will have not issue with it. I would assume that your camera WILL produce fully Dolby-compliant AC3's.
    One of the issues with some AVCHD cameras is that they allow the user to record as DD 5.1 SS (6-channel), and PrPro will Import those into a 5.1 Audio Track. The rub comes with the Export from PrPro. It requires the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS encoder plug-in (costs extra), to Export as DD 5.1 SS, but PrPro will do a mix-down to 2-channel just fine.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - if one DOES go for the SurCode plug-in, be sure to buy it from within PrPro, as they will get an Adobe discount below the price from the Minnetonka Audio site. It's only about US$50, but that counts.

    From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software,  play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.

  • Premiere CC won't import AAC audio

    I'm trying to loop two videos together in Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. One of the videos won't import the audio, just the video track. The audio is in AAC format, the video is a MPEG-4 movie with H.264 format. Every other video I've tried imports as usual, but for some reason the audio drops off on this one. The video plays just fine in Quicktime with the audio track. When I import it, the audio track drops off and only the video track shows up.
    I didn't create the video, so I don't have access to the original working files. Anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for responding, but I work for a very small company and since I'm the only one who needs CC, I have the personal version installed.
    Also this appears to be a blanket issue with all audio and video file formats, thus not likely a codec issue since the files I've tried so far should be covered by premiere's compatibility, the even play in windows media player with no issue.
    Video itself plays fine, but any audio attached to a video, or just plain audio files will not import no matter what I try.
    Sorry my info didn't help.
    Two things to try.
    Create a brand new project and test if you can import the problematic files.
    If that does not work, change the name of the folder that contains your media files. Then try to import.
    Let us know what happens.

  • Recording audio from a Channel Send

    I've done this before, but I can't seem to do it again.
    I am trying to record audio from one channel (which is using an audio instrument) to another channel (an audio channel) using an audio send. I am not having a problem setting up the send. I am able to hear the audio correctly and independently on both channels. The problem occurs when I try to record the audio, because there is no "record" button on the channel header for me to arm the track. The track is set up as a "record-enabled" track, but in the space where the other tracks have the record button, there is just a empty space on this tracks header. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Well,
    I seem to have found the problem. It appears that "audio tracks" will not allow you to arm them for recording unless there is a possible real audio input device connected to the computer. I plugged in my Snoball mic, allowed Logic to set it up as a device, and the record button magically appeared in the track header.
    Hope this helps anyone else who is having a similar issue.

  • .AVI video not importing correctly. Imports as audio only.

    System: window vista 64 bit
    Project type: whatever the standard new project is at the startup screen
    Problem: I am importing .avi video files and they are importing as audio only. it will not allow me to drag them into the video slot on the timeframe, and it displays only the speaker symbol in the media management area. Here's the funny bit. I used these files previously in another session June-July 2009, and they worked fine then. I am lost and need assistance!(PLEASE!!)
    Stumped Like a Chump

    If you look at the CODEC, it is Xvid, the opensource version of DivX, just as I suspected. These will almost never work in PrE. The best workflow is to go to before the Xvid compression (these are heavily compressed, loosing a ton of data and quality), or to convert them to DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it is shareware. Many users sing the praises of the free Prism to do the conversions. I have never used it, but many here have, and give it very high marks.
    Note: no conversion program can ever reclaim that lost data and quality. It is lost and gone forever. That is why my first option was to go back to before that compression was applied. However, conversion will yield files that can be edited with both Video and Audio.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] not sure why/how they were working before. Usually, with either the Xvid, or DivX CODEC's, one will get a Cannot Import error, or will get either Audio, or Video only. I have never been able to edit any Xvid, or DivX files, in either PrE, or PrPro - never even once. I just convert, if the client cannot get original source files, and I even have a quality loss diagram to show them how the footage will look - not very good, IMHO. I make them sign-off on that quality loss, before I start.

  • No import from audio cd

    itunes - latest version 7.1.1 - freezes on import of audio files from cd, does not matter whether original new cd's or self burned. have to exit with force quit,
    when I then try to copy an audio file from the cd via drag-and-drop to the computer, I receive an error message, error -36, telling me that there is aproblem in reading the file.
    deleted all itunes preferences in the library folder, did not change anything
    then repaired permissions on the volume, great, could import one cd, on the second itunes freezes again.
    needed to repair permissions again, great, can import another cd
    so now I have to repair permissions every time I want to import audio files
    I have no problems importing mp3 files
    anybody here, who knows how to fix this annoying problem?
    G4 titanium power book   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    does itunes make use of other programs in reading
    cd's, would it make sense to delete preferences of
    such progs?
    It doesn't look like that's the case. It appears to all be handled by threads inside iTunes. So I don't think you'd be able to find the preferences to delete.
    one more thing, the problem of not being able to copy
    audiofiles from cd to hd only occurs when I have
    tried to import the cd into itunes, fresh inserted cd
    will allow to copy audio files, but once I have tried
    itunes, it is no longer possible, so obviously itunes
    screws up something.
    My guess, and it's just a guess, is that there's a bug in the CD/DVD drive on those machines, or a bug in the driver for that hardware and iTunes causes the problem to show up. If you know someone with an external USB or Firewire drive, you might try borrowing it and see if it works.
    You could also try this software:
    http://www.sbooth.org/Max/
    and see if it behaves any differently. Maybe it accesses the audio in a different way.
    I have no idea why it was fine with the old HD, but it doesn't work with the new one. Perhaps it's a question of how some part of the OS gets loaded into RAM because the 120GB drive needs more RAM or something. But that's just another wild guess.
