  • CS6 8 Channel output assignment (do they have to be paired?)

    Posted by Luke Ogden on October 11, 2012 at 6:01 pm

    It appears that although premiere can export 8 Channels they aren’t wholly independent, it seems they have to be paired; 1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8 etc.

    I need to split them in order to deliver an 8 channel MXF for a client with the following audio mapping:

    any ideas? its basically just the voiceover and Interviews tracks that are a problem because I need them to be individually assigned to a mono 7th channel and a mono 8th channel rather than combined in a stereo 7+8 channel

    as always

    thanks for your time

    befor youput the sound on the time line and file is in the project panel highlight the file you want to change. right click and go to modify choose mono and return. when you drag to timeline in should make seperate mono channels. if it still lays on a riught and left channel paste amd copy to another sound track and delete one of the right or left tracks.
    I hope this will help

    Thanks Kenny,

    But I’m not sure thats the problem, I have my clips in the timeline and split over mono tracks, theres actually no audio in the “Voiceover” track but because of the way its set to map out as channel 7+8 it forces whatever is on 7 and whatever is on 8 into a stereo track across the 7th and 8th channels. Thus the interview track that was mono on one channel become stereo on output. Or to put it another way; if i did have a Voiceover track on export it wouldn’t be independent to the Interview track it would just be a stereo mix of those two channels combined.
    I don’t understand why premiere demands that the tracks be mapped as pairs!

    Does that make sense? Anybody had a problem like this?

    Thanks
    Luke
