P2 audio and Premiere CS4
When I encode for web, DVD or anything basically, I get what sounds like 2 audio tracks that sound just slightly out of sync, like a reverb effect. Now, I’m deleting tracks 3 & 4 and only using tracks 1 & 2. Why does the audio sound that way? The tracks should be in sync shouldn’t they? Also, when using P2 audio, you can’t use the Premiere Stereo filters? Just the Mono ones?
Thanks,
PhilPhil Lister

[Phil Lister] “Also, when using P2 audio, you can’t use the Premiere Stereo filters? Just the Mono ones?”
That’s cause P2 footage is imported as 4 mono tracks, and the default P2 sequences have 4 mono audio tracks. In CS4, only Mono effects can be applied to mono tracks and vise-versa.
If you want Premiere to treat the audio differently, select all the clips and select Modify>Audio Channels… (this must be done before any of the clips has been placed in a timeline.)
Modify Audio Channels is very useful when dealing with footage which was shot dual mono on a consumer camera. (Which Premiere will import as stereo.)
The current version of Premiere doesn’t have this silly mono and stereo versions of effects.
