2-audio channel clips only import to one channel…wut up???

Posted by Tad Newberry on February 4, 2015 at 7:15 am

after all this reinstall, i must’ve hit something in the defaults, because i used to be able to drag a 2-channel clip to the timeline and it would go to…drumroll please…2 channels. it SEEMS like this should be the default. i don’t get it…

i’ve tried ALL the settings in audio preferences, but to no avail…that is, UNLESS you have to restart every time you make a change? anyway, this one has me stumped….

thanks for helping out a bonehead!

I had the same problem and was about to post in my thread about it in case it got dug up by and search engines.
I use Premiere pro CC on a monthly subscription and all it took was for me to actually update to 2014.0.1
I was using a trial of Sony Vegas to export the missing audio file and the extra steps, while onl adding about 10 minutes to my workflow, were a pain in the behind.
Once I updated it was working fine for me.
My files were in either .m2ts or .ts formats of gaming footage recorded in the Hauppauge HD PDR 2

i’m using CC 7.7.2 and avoiding 2014 because i had heard it was still a little “buggy”. i also just upgraded my Mac to Mavericks, and everything else is working great so have been scared about messing with the system, but maybe i’ll give 2014 a try then??

Right-click your clip in the bin, and select “Modify –> Audio Channels” from the menu. Here you can define how many channels, and the type of audio you have.

BAM! Thanks Jon, that works perfectly! BUT…i never had to do that before, so why now? I was able to select all clips in a folder and modify them all at the same time, but this is still pretty annoying. I wonder if i’m doing something wrong elsewhere to have made this happen? I don’t think i’m doing anything different than how i used to do it and never had to “modify” audio on clips. Very strange…

You can set the default audio import preference in the program preferences.

Yes, I would think your re-install blew out your original preferences. What you are looking for is here. . .
