Editing audio can’t pan mono audio need assistance.
Hi group making a short and my external audio is mono channel. It is all on the right channel and I cannot pan or add audio to the left channel and not sure what to do. I found this tidbit.
“The most important thing to note is that the Audio Channel Mapping won’t work if you’ve already used your clip(s) in a sequence, so be sure to do it immediately after capturing/importing your clips.”
So I have failed step one, now what do I do to get the left channel to have any audio?
Thanks this is in CS6 Premiere Pro.

In Effects > Audio Effects, you should find “fill left” and “fill right”. These two effects will fill the other audio channel so you have a stereo wave that you can pan.

Hi I tried that but heard no difference with headphones on, I’ve been having a lot of issues with this subject (the project has only ambient sounds) UCLA directing project.
My issue is the Zoom recorder was in stereo and having only one boom mic it obviously recorded in one track. Since I didn’t set the preferences for mono to be mono PP always puts my audio on the right since that’s where it was recorded. My current workaround has been to export out a mono track and after resetting the preferences the mono is set to stereo, which splits it but the standard tracks will not pan in the audio mixer if I try panning i get no audio unless the mix is center or right channel. I’m not familiar enough with PP to understand what is happening.

The fill left/fill right trick works great but keep in mind it’ll just give you the same thing in both tracks…

[Angelo Lorenzo] “In Effects > Audio Effects, you should find “fill left” and “fill right”…
works perfectly so long as you keep in mind that the naming is IMHO a bit backwards. Drag and drop Fill Left on the audio clip for audio that is on the left and you want to fill the right channel. If you’ve already created your edit, no problem, just drag and drop on each audio clip. MANY thanks to all for this thread – as noted above, if you use one audio input into a stereo recorder, without taking the audio into Pro Tools…etc. this is a VERY important part of what is becoming a pretty standard workflow for those shooting with a DSLR.
