  Export for Blu-ray with 5.1 & Stereo options | Premiere Pro CC

  Posted by Jordan Beck on August 15, 2018 at 2:49 pm

  I received a ProRes HQ file of my film from a post-production house that includes 12 channels of audio:
  5.1 L
  5.1 R
  5.1 C
  5.1 LFE
  5.1 LS
  5.1 RS
  Descriptive Audio (L)
  Descriptive Audio (R)
  Full Mix Stereo (L)
  Full Mix Stereo (R)
  M&E Stereo (L)
  M&E Stereo (R)
  …plus individual audio stems to reassemble the entire mix in either 5.1 or stereo.

  My question is this:
  When prepping the film for Blu-ray, what channels do I need to include in the source file? This is both as I prep a master for commercial replication, but also as I burn screener copies from my desktop.

  Do I need to export a 5.1 copy and a Stereo copy and let the user select their preference in the player?
  Do I only export the 5.1 and a Blu-ray player will sum the audio correctly?
  Do I leave all the tracks in place and the little wizards that live inside Blu-ray players will figure it all out?
