Ambisonics Audio - can't apply Panner effect to Zoom H2N audio file

Hi,

I've got some audio recorded as spatial audio from a Zoom H2N on a timeline in Premiere 2018. In the tutorials I've seen it comes in as one track, even though it's four tracks of audio.

In my project it's coming in as four separate tracks.

When I try to apply the Panner -Ambisonics to the clip it won't let me. I see an error message that 5.1 audio is required.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong in either setting up the sequence or importing the audio or something else?

I'm pretty confident I recorded the audio properly as spatial audio so I think the problem is in how I've imported it or set up the sequence. (I'm using one of the VR Ambisonic presets when I create the sequence)

thanks!

Thanks, I'll definitely remember that. In this case, I woke up, restarted my computer and all is right in the world. I think the problem was a memory issue with Premiere.

Thanks again!

What is your sequence master audio set to?

You can change how Premiere treats the audio tracks before you place them on the timeline by right clicking the clip in the project panel and selecting 'modify audio channels'

    I had to change the Timeline preferences for Default Audio Tracks > Multichannel Mono Media to Adaptive and then it behaved correctly on the next start. Richard's answer saved my butt to get it working since I imported the ambisonic recording (same microphone as you) without the preference set to adaptive beforehand.
