Premiere Pro Skips Second Audio Track (Mic) on MKV Import When Multiple Clips Are Imported

Hi Adobe team,

I’m facing a serious issue in the latest version of Premiere Pro 25.3.0 while importing OBS MKV recordings with multiple audio tracks (Game Audio on Track 1, Mic on Track 2).

Here’s what happened:

  • I imported all my recordings from a client project casually into Premiere.

  • For Clip 1 (Day-1), Premiere correctly imported both game and mic audio.

  • But for Clip 2 (Blue Prince Part-2, 2 hours long), Premiere only imported the game audio — the mic audio (Track 2) was completely missing from the timeline.

This initially caused panic, as I assumed the audio wasn't recorded — but after checking in VLC Media Player, I confirmed that Track 2 (mic) is present and working.


🔍 Investigation & Observation:

  • When you import one clip with two audio tracks, Premiere sometimes doesn’t process both tracks right away.

  • Then when you import the second clip, it only uses one track, skipping Track 2 completely — even if it exists in the file.

  • This behavior is inconsistent and creates serious issues when batch-importing clips for editing.

  • I have attached screenshots below for reference (include your screenshots in the post).


✅ Temporary Workaround (What Helped Me):

  • Wait a few seconds after importing the first clip to let Premiere finish processing it before importing the next one.

  • Or, create a new sequence first, then drag each clip one at a time.

  • Doing this allowed both audio tracks to appear correctly.


🙏 Feature Request / Bug Fix:

Please:

  • Fix the issue where Premiere skips Track 2 when importing multiple MKV files

  • Ensure all audio tracks are consistently detected, especially for batch imports

  • Or at least prompt a warning if an audio track is ignored during import

HI @Sahil Tank

Welcome to the forums.  Thanks for submitting your bug report.  Like Tom, I also haven't been able to reproduce this yet.  Can you tell me more about your MKV specs?  We need a few more details to try to help with the issue. Please see: How do I report a Problem?  Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for reaching out.

Two other things to help clarify that we're on the same page: 
* What OS are you on? 
* Are you using the release version of 25.3 or a beta version? There was a point during that version's beta where multitrack audio support for MKV was still underdevelopment which is why I ask. If you are on beta, then I would expect clearing your media cache and switching to the release version would resolve your issue.

This is an interesting issue. I have not been able to reproduce it myself. If you delete your media cache and import that second file in to a new project as the only clip, does it show all the tracks then? Or does it consistently not show all the tracks for that particular clip? It sounds like you've seen this with multiple clips, but what I'd like to try to do is see if we can narrow this down to a 100% reproducible case and then we can try to figure out what's different from the times everything works.
