Modifying Audio Channels in a clip – PrP CS6
So I’ve got a clip in the timeline. It’s a two-person interview. It’s too late to set up things with clips in the bin, it’s a timeline received from another person.
Each subject had a mic leading to one channel in the audio recorder in a single stereo track. So the interviewer is in the left channel, the interviewee in the right channel. It SEEMS like an easy way to solve the problem is to right-click on the clip in the timeline, go to “Audio Channels…” (or in the menu go to Modify -> Audio Channels) and in the Modify Clip dialog change the “Source Channel” to both be left or both right depending on who’s talking. The problem is that these settings aren’t saved. When re-opening the project, it’s all back to the channels as they were to begin with. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Check the effects panel for audio effects…
are the Fill left and fill right effects still available under CS6?

I have found this out too. Not sure what the best fix is but i just duplicate the audio track onto a new audio track and set both channels to left or both to right depending on which audio I need. Fairly simple and seems to work okay.

Cool yeah that seems to work. I just wish it worked the other way so that I could keep everything in one layer for my OCD timeline management instincts to not go haywire ;). Thank you so much for this!

Yup they are! Never used them before. So I’m assuming I can use these to push everthing the way I want it and then copy and Paste Attributes to all the necessary clips in the timeline?

Ran into the same issue. The adjustments aren’t saving and neither are the presets. The Fill Left/Right effects work perfectly. In my case, the left channel was extremely loud at some point in the video, for a very short time. Selected my track, razor tooled the portion that was loud and applied Fill Right, problem solved.
Thanks for the tip, Alex.
