  Exporting Master for iTunes. LFE track copies other track when exported

  Posted by Amber Sherman on March 12, 2015 at 3:52 pm

  I work on Adobe Premiere cc 8.1

  I have to deliver a film. We submit to Bitmax and their specs for audio are below.
  Audio thats required:

  1-L
  2-R
  3-C
  4-LFE
  5-Ls
  6-Rs
  7+8- Stereo Pair

  I’ve done a bit of research and figured out the audio mapping, and gotten to 8 channels once I export, but with the 4th channel the LFE track it copies the 3rd channel. I’ve tried a few different things, but I always get the LFE track copying the other track. All the other channels do not have this problem.

  This is assuming you already have your video exported as a single clip and just want to repurpose it to iTunes spec.

  I find the easiest way to work with audio is to mimic an FCP type of setup;

  1. Make a timeline with a multi-channel master track and set it to have 8 channels. Obviously make sure the video settings match up with your source.
  2. Add 8 adaptive tracks.
  3. Use the mapping option to map track 1, input 1 to output 1. Map track 2, input 1 to output 2. Map track 3, input 1 to output 3 and so on. Make sure you set you set inputs 2-8 to none.]
  4. On your clip, modify the audio channels and set the preset to Mono, Number of Audio Tracks to 8 and Channel Format to Mono. Make sure the Source and Channel mapping maps Source Channel 1-8 to Tracks 1-8.
  5. Drop the clip onto your timeline and you’ll be good to go. When you do your export, in the Export Settings, set the Basic Audio Settings to 8 channel, Track Layout to 8 Mono Pairs and Channel Layout can be left on Mono (make sure you change the channel assignments in QuickTime Pro once exported).
