steps to repro
import some stereo clips in a timeline
set audiochannels of the imported clips to mono 2 tracks
put some clips in the timeline and shorten the clips
export with manager with Consolidate and transcode
use
preset individual clips
format h264
preset copy match source-high bitrate
result
The new trimmed project has all clips mixed to mono!
This is bad, you can't compress a big project to a small resulting project with only important footage.
For us as News broadcaster this feature is important, because we often need to send a complete project via
slow internet connection.
Workaround
set all clips to stereo audio before starting manager..
This is a long standing bug please fix!
Remember the goal is to squeeze a whole project to smaller size for transmit and archive.
