AUDIO DILEMMA

Hi,

I'm jumping over to Adobe premiere pro from Avid and most recently EDIUS.

How do you toggle Channel 1 and channel 2 audio on in the timeline in Adobe premiere pro? I've tried adding it as a shortcut on the keyboard, I've been pouring through tutorials, etc. I've even tried remapping the channels as mono. No luck. --In my source monitor I have a clip with video and audio on channel 2. But in the timeline, only audio one is on, how do I turn on Channel 2 so I can drop Channel 2 from the source window, to the channel 2 channel on my timeline?! It's making me  crazy. In EDIUS, It's simply clicking a hotkey on and off to toggle the audio channels on and off. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

I think what you are trying to do is use the track targeting options to move an audio track from Source to timeline?

 

You need to use the track Target options ... the blue or charcoal blocks to the far left of the track header block. Left one is for Source monitor targeting ...  so you can set where anything from the Source monitor 'lands' in the timeline. Right one is for Track targeting for changes within the Timeline panel.

Sorry, I guess The blocks on the left are actually called source targeting,
A2 will not turn on there.

Clicking in it doesn't work? That is odd.
