Exporting two discrete mono audio channels from premiere pro
Adobe Premiere Pro 4: Exporting two mono audio tracks
Dear All: I’ve been reading the various forums on the above topic and haven’t found a solution.
I capture a DVCAM video tape wtih 4 discrete mono channels (a different language on each audio channel), make an edit and then wish to export the edited clip with the audio channels/tracks intact just as they were as I captured them.
I then wish to import the edited clip into a real video editor, FCP 7. to perform more edits, etc…
Frustratingly, premiere pro 4’s encoder loves to mix everything into stereo or will mix two channels into one channel. The result is that clip no longer has discrete separate audio channels.
The result is not useful. I’m making multi-language documentaries from multilanguage courtroom recordings on DVCAM. The archivists work with Premiere Pro 4 to ingest the material and send me the quicktime movies of just the scenes I need.
I need discrete audio chanels so that I can for example, turn off the French language (channel 1) use only the English language (channel 2) or vice versa.
Which is why I need your help!
How can we export discrete audio channels from Premiere Pro 4?
Thanks in advance for your help.

One solution would be to export each audio track by itself. Audio only to a wav or aif file.
Link em back up in FCP.

I have found that when dealing with only two audio channels you can preserve them on export if you pan them hard left/right in the Audio Track Mixer. Then export as stereo. Of course this has to be done for each clip. Hopefully there is a better way but for now this works for me.
I remember FCP 7 had a discrete output option…
