Stereo Dialogue: how do I make it Centered?
Hi! I’m in the middle of a massive project, and I’ve come to the realization that I’m not happy with the audio my camera captured. The whole project was captured with the on-board audio of my Canon GL-1.
My problem lies with the way the camera captured the audio: its too stereo!
I’ve used a shotgun mic in the past and it centers the audio very nicely. Is there a way to get premiere to center the audio?My project is in Stereo and even if I add a submix I can’t add the dialogue to it. I’ve tried re-rendering the audio to mono, but it still comes out of the stereo speakers and not the center channel. I wish there were an effect like “fill right” or “fill left” but istead of those I wish it were “fill center”!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m using Premiere Pro 2.0.

Are you talking about stereo or 5.1? Stereo does not have a “center channel”.

I am talking about a Stereo Project. I understand that I can’t have a centered audio if it isn’t a 5.1 project, but is there a way to mimic what a directional shotgun mic would produce with premiere?

Make it mono.

Hi
Yes – it should be mono – but is there an easy effect for that ? I unlink the video and audio of a clip in the timeline. Then copy the audio to another audio track (in sync) and put a “fill right” effect (from audio effect Stereo)on the one audio clip and a “fill left” on the other – and then link again….

Wouldn’t it be easier to just “Export Audio” (making sure its mono and that all other audio tracks are off). Then importing that Wav? Thats what I’ve tried and it seems to work!

Thanks Eddie, but my project is already chopped up! To break a Stereo track into mono requires that the source file first be broken down. Unfortunately, I’ve spent the past few months editing and don’t really want to go back on that.
I think by exporting the audio to a mono file then applying that instead of the source stereo will work out for me! -
duplicate audio track. on the first fill left, on the second fill right. Probably adjust volume as required. These are stereo audio effects.
