Exporting multiple audio channels from Premiere Pro CS6 in MXF OP1a

I have a Premiere Pro project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.

Method:

When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. I make sure that none of the channels are muted.

Result:

The rendered file contains 8 channels as I want it to, but only the first two channels contains audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.

Any ideas what I can do?

Thank you for your help!

Hey Viktor, hope this reply isn't too late but I was having the same issue with exporting an MXF for broadcast. After troubleshooting I realized that it was a problem with sequence settings.

When I created the sequence, although I selected multichannel and created 8 tracks of standard audio, the sequence was still set to 2 channel sound in the dropdown menu right of 'multichannel'.

After creating a new sequence and dragging my edit in, everything exported fine.

hope the fix was this simple for you.

cheers,

Hey Guys,

I'm having problems exporting an 8 channel audio mxf for a broadcast client. The mix they want is as follows:

Track 01: Full Programme Mix L

Track 02: Full Programme Mix R

Track 03: International Sound L

Track 04: International Sound R

Track 05: Music and Effects L

Track 06: Music and Effects R

Track 07: VO Mono

Track 08: Interview Mono

I have setup the sequence following this video on vimeo and am fairly confident I have the sequence settings correct. https://vimeo.com/38501157

I also can export a multichannel mxf. But all my tracks are exported as mono and I am therefore not maintaining my L and R as set up in my sequence

The problem is on exporting that since Tracks 01 and 02 are bounced down to 1 + 2 it means that my Track 01 (Panned L) is getting bounced down onto my Track 02 aswell and thus it does not remain seperate. Has anyone delivered a similar format for a broadcaster and come across this problem with Premiere Pro and know a solution?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Eamonn
