Permier elements is removing my microphone audio from my videos.

[Habib331881909zgh]

Hello, so I tried to edit my gaming video and Premier elements simply either makes my video onlu hearable from the right side with like 8 audio channels open, or changes the settings of the project and removes my microphone audio with it. Any help?

It depends on the specs of the video you're editing. Not all screen recording software creates editable video.

Open your gaming video in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo set View to Text and then copy this complete report and paste it to this forum. With this detailed information we'll better be able to advise you how to proceed.

PrElements does not work well with that kind of video

use https://handbrake.fr/ open source transcoder/converter to convert to Constant Frame Rate

Anything here that I can change also that might allow me to still use that software and edit it?

Please keep in mind that it shows Stereo in Audio channels if needed to know.
