Adobe PP – Stereo/Mono Audio Issues
Hello,
I’m working with footage shot on a C100, which I’m bringing into Adobe Premier Pro. I’m completely new to the software, so I’m finding it a little confusing…
When I bring it into PP it makes the audio stereo. I’ve worked out how to make them into mono tracks, but when I export the file the audio is still mono (left or right track only).
Can someone help?
There must be s simple work flow for working with audio in PP?? Is there a setting i need to activate so that it brings the audio in mono tracks to begin with?
Then, who do I get it to export in true stereo??
If anyone can help I would be really appreciative. FCP seems so simple, why isn’t PP??
Thanks so much,
Zoë -

When your clips are in a BIN, highlight them, then go to top menu CLIP, Modify, Audio Channels… In the Audio Channels tab change the Preset to MONO. This will put each audio channel in its own track and it will be centered. Then apply them to you timeline.

Thanks for getting back to me, Joe. Really appreciate your help.
The main issue comes when exporting it though. I want to export in stereo, but it seems to export in mono, so it sounds like it’s only coming from either left or right, not both.
Do you know how I can sort that issue?
Thanks again!!

If it is showing on both sides of the audio meters in PP, then it should export that way. Try some other export presets to see if you get the same audio results.

Do you know of some way to set this as the DEFAULT way audio files are treated? I’ve created a preset, but I don’t know how to make PPro default to my preset.
As a side note, I don’t understand why I would ever want 2 tracks of audio living together on a single track. It’s baffling. I get that PPro is unlocking “channels” from “tracks” for some reason, but it just seems like it doesn’t do anybody any good, really, except for screen real estate and making patching potentially bananas. I guess I’m old fashioned. 2 channels? 2 tracks. 5 channels? 5 tracks. If I want to route them all to something specific I can do that via a mixer, but…
Anyway, I’d like Premiere Pro to default to importing Stereo Files as importing 2-channel/2-track files
