No sound when working on Cineform proxies 8 audio channels
I hope this is not a silly question...
We have defined the following proxy workflow:
- Material MXF 4K XAVC 25p with 8 audio channels (captured from Sony FS-7) is ingested on our storage. Proxies are generated using cineform codec with 8 audio channels.
- Projects and timelines are created on workstations connected to the storage. Then, medias are made offline.
- Proxies are copied on portable hard-drives along with the saved projects. Editors can work on laptop from anywhere...
Unfortunately, we have a problem when there is only sound on audio channel 3 and 4. Then no audio is available when we are working on proxies only.
I cannot figure out why this problem occurs... Cineform .mov have sound when they are played in a separate player...
I assume this is a audio mapping problem but I cannot solve it... Any clues? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for your help.
