  • Premiere CS is converting all my Stero into “2 mono” WHY?

    Posted by Darren Scales on August 2, 2010 at 8:26 pm

    So there I am, happily editing away. I import a stereo MP3 only to find that Premiere CS4 has made it into 2 mono tracks.

    OK, so then I import an MP3 stereo file that is ALREADY in the project as a stereo file only to see the new import (the very same file) as a 2 mono!

    What is going on? I know that I can go through the menus to change it back but why is it suddenly changing all my inputs to mono?

    All the projects settings I can find are set to stereo. All audio defaults settings I can find are set to stereo. These are simple stereo MP3 tracks, which yesterday Premiere CS4 treated as such. Today it is turning them all in to 2 mono tracks.

    Specifics:

    “Track 1 (already in Premiere) 44,100 KHz – Compressed – Stereo”

    Then I import Track 1 again and this time…

    “Track 1 44,100 KHz – Compressed – 2 mono”

    can you help?

    As to why it does this in the first place… I dunno. I do know how to fix it though.

    Your audio clip cannot be used in a timeline yet. In your project bin, right click it and select Modify > Audio Channels. You can then select from (what it’s probably chosen as now) Mono, which will split it into two mono tracks, to stereo which will give left and right a combined stereo track
