Audio problem with project imported from final cut pro 7
Hello
I took over a project originally done in fcp7…
Everything imports fine but the audio tracks are all locked and I’ve tried everything I can think of and could really use some insight as to what I overlooked

Hmmmm, a headscratcher for sure, we do this all the time.
So you just did an XML from FCP into Premiere Pro? Which version of XML did you use? Sometimes it helps to step back to an older version like XML 2 or 3.
Ensure your audio tracks are unlocked in FCP too.

I’m not the one who started it in FCP but I’ll definitely ask him those questions
Thanks for the helpful suggestions!

So I got a chance to sit down with the person who did the final cut pro editing, the audio tracks weren’t locked, but they were stereo pairs
He was able to undo that so now I have two mono tracks…
The recording was done with one microphone sent to both channels set for different levels
So I now have a whole bunch of separate Left and Right mono tracks!
What’s the best way for me to get to having either a dual mono track or just one mono track??

If everything is dual mono now, they should import as dual mono into Premiere Pro. That is two audio tracks with the same audio so you can just strip out the duplicate track if you want to.

Well I’m at the point where I am now able to manipulate the audio, nothing is locked anymore…
But the tracks are separate “mono” tracks except they a all playing in the left and right channels
In other words they are still routed to the channel that they went to when it was “stereo”
Only fix I can find is to go into audition but then it shows the audio for the entire clip without any deference to where the trim points where
Plus this is a 40 minute piece with a couple hundred clips!
All I can think of is to out put the. Whole project into an mp4 etc and then take the audio in one big piece into audition and then make it dual mono all the way through…
Not my first choice
