Audio capture and editing
All right, treat me like I’m stupid. I have shot an interview with a Sony DSR300 DVCAM, with the wireless lav on CH1 and camera mic on CH2. I am capturing with an AXIO SD card through the AXIO firewire port and have changed the audio capture settings to mono.
I put a captured clip on the timeline and there dos not appear to be a way to use only CH1 of the captured audio. When the clip is put on the timeline the audio automatically takes up a stereo track. I can’t modify the right (CH2) channel’s volume and I can’t pan the left (CH1) channel to a centre position.
Is this really the way PPRO handles production sound? Or am I a complete idiot (wait, don’t answer that).

What version of Premiere Pro are you using? If you are using version 2.0:
1. Capture as usual.
2. Select the video clip in the Project panel.
3. Clip (menu) > Audio Options > Source Channel mapping
4. Select the mono option and disable which ever track you don’t want.
5. Drag clip to timeline.Aanarav Sareen

Thanks for the response Aanarav. This needs to be an option in Capture for sure.

I agree. Please file a feature requests on Adobe’s website.

Looks like a 3 step process to do what we want:
1) capture mono audio (need to modify audio capture settings each time)
2) interpret th audio as mono in the bin for each and every clip
3) set up the timeline with mono audio tracks
This semms like a lot of work for something that really ought to be the norm in video production and post production.
