This is simply discouraging.

I am also working with AVCHD (.MTS) Files – which means I would have to transcode them to Quicktime in order to to merge via ffmpeg?

Surely, there must be a God whom I can call on in my time of need –
“TAKE ME FOR YOUR GLORY!”

Thanks for your reply.

I’m still having some trouble, though your information has helped greatly.

I set up a new sequence with multi-channel audio, and 7 channels (I will be using Audio files that have 7 channels of audio). This works fine and I can drag my audio files onto the timeline, and have all the channels play, while only using one track. Great!

However, the problem is when I begin to merge my audio with my video.

After merging I am not able to set the New merged clip to Adaptive. Why is that?

Thank you so much for your help, for I had the same exact question as the original poster.

However, I am running into trouble at a certain point of your answer. (I’m not trying to commandeer the post).

I am able to Modify the Audio Channel of the clip (from the Project Bin) just fine, and limit the Audio Tracks to 1. Great! It jumps into my timeline and only uses up one track, aswell as the desired channel.

However, when I want to change the channel that is being played AFTER I drag it into the timeline, it will not let me.

I right click on the clip (in the timeline), Click Audio Channels, and for the Source Channel I only get Left and Right. Why is that?
