  • can audio be split to L & R channels after capture?

    Posted by Nelson May on November 25, 2009 at 9:20 pm

    I am working in CS4 and don’t use it that much. I am an FCP guy, but am using CS4 on this project. I captured DV with 2 channels of audio. One of the talent had a turtle neck and it was hard to place a lav mic. She was off axis a bit. All I need to do is bump up her audio a few db to match the db level of the male voice.

    How do I manipulate L and R audio tracks in CS4? I am at a loss.

    Right-click the video clip on timeline and select “Unlink”, then select just the audio clip below and COPY, then PASTE to a lower track and line up with original so it is in sync.

    In the Premiere AUDIO FILTERS, find FILL LEFT and FILL RIGHT, and apply one to each of the audio clips, resulting in one audio clip having stereo audio of just the left channel, and the other having the right, then you can adjust volume and/or filters individually.

    Another way is to select clip in the project window then go to Clip/Audio Options/BreakOut To Mono. This wil give you a seperate left and right channel.

    Thanks and these methods will work, but I am working on a time crunch. Having to go back and re-track audio is a waste of a few hours. Can I separate audio into their perspective L and R tracks during capture?
    If not, I will capture in FCP and import the file to Premier and work.

    During capture there is no way, but the way Jeff and Ann suggest doesn’t take hours, just takes seconds to do. Even after hundreds of cuts.

    Even if you capture in final cut, you get the same file in premiere pro… Its just the way premiere imports files.
