Can I pan two mono tracks to be left and right?
I’m working on finalizing an EPK and working it out for the first time in Premiere (from FCP7). When we shot on set we shot with the camera boom on channel 1 and the production feed on channel 2. When bringing the footage into premiere, it comes in as 2 mono tracks and I’ve assembled them all into a timeline, but I obviously get both tracks coming through as mono. When I go to mix and deliver, I need to (just as we shot) put all of the boom to the left on channel 1 and pan all of the production feed to the right on channel 2. There’s a pan filter that obviously works with stereo tracks, but is there any way to pan a mono track to be all left or right? With Final Cut, it was easy because I could just apply a paste attribute pan to each channel and be done with it. Being so new to Premiere, I’m not finding a way to make this adjustment for delivery.
Thanks.

Take a look at the mixer section of Premiere.
You should be able to set hard panning per track there.
Hope that helps….

Look at your audio mixer. It is laid out in traditional form. There is a L-R dial above each track’s fader. Just turn way to the left or right accordingly. They are centered by default.
Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. I was thinking/hoping it was something simple like this. Still getting used to the nuances of Premiere Pro.

Cliff the thing to remember is that while FCP’s audio mixing was more or less clip based, PPro’s is definitely track based. Generally speaking.

The Pan knobs in the audio mixer panel is the way I’d do this in these circumstances, but just so you know, there’s another way. However, it must be done before you put any audio in the timeline.
If you right click the audio in the browser, and select “Modify>Audio Channels…” You can change the audio from Mono to Stereo, and select which channel each of the audio tracks is mapped to.
Now if you’re working with more then two channels, then using the audio mixer method is the only way. I forget at the moment how many channels you can suport… it’s ether 20 or 24….

What a pain in the butt. I hope CS6 allows clip based editing. So much easier.
