Thanks — actually I’m not even sure where and how I’m supposed to look at those track names. I am basically just trying to satisfy the requirement in the specs as duplicated at the top of the thread. I just need to deliver this file with the audio tracks info embedded in the file, and I have not been provided with the means to check it (’cause it will be checked by the streaming platform team), and the specs do not specify with what they will read that embedded information.

I basically have not generated the export yet, but I’m pretty sure whatever export I generate as of now, the audio tracks will not be named L, R, Center, etc. no matter what I use to check it because I have not embedded that information into the file in Premiere, and I’m trying to find out how to do that with Premiere.

Thanks Hector. The specs actually didn’t state what they are using to read this metadata. I imagine whatever is common. I only have VLC and right click + properties to test it at home though. Right now I think in VLC, the audio tracks are just stated as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc… I think ideally what they want is that it will read L, R, Center, etc.

Thanks for your response. I believe what the specs refer to are metadata embedded in the export, so that when the export is loaded onto a player, the player can display (in like the media information window in VLC) the name of each audio track (e.g. Left, Right, Center…)

There is a metadata function in Premiere but I don’t see any that allows you to name audio tracks.

To clarify, I think they are talking about metadata embedded in the file as opposed to data burn-in baked into the video.
