  • Getting Premiere Pro to read full external audio metadata like AVID

    Posted by Roger Matthews on May 21, 2014 at 4:24 am

    Hi, I’m an AVID user switching to Premiere Pro and have been trying to see if I can replicate the following workflow for poly channel external audio with track names in the metadata. (i.e. “MixL” for Track 1, “MixR” for track 2, etc)

    In AVID, I’ll do the following –
    1. Split the poly channel external audio file into one mono file per channel.
    2. Import into AVID
    3. AVID will spit out the track name metadata in the columns “TRK1” through “TRK10” etc. Copy/paste the metadata names on to each mono audio clip already imported.
    4. End result – each audio clip in sequence is labeled “Lav1”, “MixL”, “Boom”, etc for easy reference.

    I’m trying to see if Premiere Pro has columns similar to “TRK1”, so I can easily copy/paste the track name metadata into my clip names.

    Is this possible? Thanks!

    I know if you open the mixer panel you can put names at the very bottom.
    not sure how helpful that would be for what you’re trying to accomplish though

    I believe that just changes the track name, like you can on the Timeline.

    I more need to have PPro read the audio metadata itself, so I can rename the actual clips (vs a track).
