Question

Which audio settings should I choose when encoding from a Premiere Pro sequence

I am encoding a Premiere Pro sequence in Media Encoder - both are the latest versions. The video is for broadcast TV which is asking for H.264. I'm using Match Source - Adaptive High bitrate. 

The spec sheet from the TV station also asks for uncompressed audio, 48kHz. Uncompressed doesn't seem to be a choice. Audio format settings are AAC and MPEG. Which one should I choose? 

If the answer is MPEG, which setting: MPEG, Layer 1 or MPEG-1, Layer 2?  I see that within MPEG the bitrate goes to 448 kbps, whereas in AAC it only goes to 320 kbps. Should I go with 448? There are many more audio settings choices within MPEG as well, which I'm unsure about. 

 

I'm not seeing any answers within Adobe or the internet at large. 

 

Thanks.

Switch to the H264 Blu-Ray preset and you'll get PCM audio, 48KHz, 16-bit, stereo for audio (Linear PCM is uncompresssed).

 

I'd encode one minute and send that as test file.
