Question

Why cant I export h.264 or h.265 with 4.0 channels? I am only getting Mono, Stereo, or 5.1

Just wondering if anyone knows why the 4.0 channel option is not coming up? I was able to export it in Apple ProRes but of course I would love to find a way to encode with h.264 or h.265 for smaller sizes and optimal YouTube uploading. I am trying to export a 360 VR video with ambisonic sound. I have read that h.264 has taken this option away recently. Is this true? I am running macOS 11.5 Big Sur, are we still waiting for compatibility? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Sergey5F9B,

We're sorry about the poor experience. In the latest release only mono, stereo & 5.1 channels are available for Ambisonics audio. We're currently investigating this issue. For the time being, you may try using Premiere Pro 2020 for 4 channel Ambisonic audio support.

Thanks,

Sumeet

Thanks so much Sumeet! Where can I download Premiere Pro 2020 from and is it compatible with macOS 11.5 Big Sur?
