Question

clips without audio non imported

We use Premiere Pro 12.1.1 (build 10) on a Macintosh SIERRA

Working on a feature film we used an external audio recorded which generates MONO 48000/24 files.

We edited our first cut on the stereo sound from our camera

The project is a quicktime prores 244 PAL

Premiere doesn't like to import additional video clips without audio telling us they are different from the sequence set up.

How to solve this serious problem

    Hello Neil and thanks for your time

    Yes indeed importing different audio types might be the problem, however I think is very strange for Premiere not to consider this possibility as what can't be imported are also Video tracks in PRORES with the same 1920x1080 as the rest of the sequence, or audio tracks only with the very same kHz 44800 as the rest of the sequence

    In a feature film after editing the various parts as such is necessary to link everything ... in the 2017 version we didn't have this problem.

    Is there a way to use the xml file and downgrade back to 2017? IN this case we could find ways to use whatever the differences don't allow although we can always use other effects if necessary.

    IOf the xml will not work is there another way to use the original projects with the older versions?

    Thanks again and sorry for the late reply ... but our film was invited to some festivals and we had a lot to deal with

    Regards

    I'm not sure I understand this.

    1. I've never heard of ProRes 244 PAL. PAL is 50i, 720x576 pixels, and you're probably not cutting SD material. I hope you mean ProRes 422, 1920x1080 at 25fps?

    2. There's no way Premiere can know what kind of sequence you want to add a clip to when you import it. So I'm guessing that you can import the clips, but that the problems happen when you try to put them in a sequence?

    Can you provide a more accurate description of the steps to reproduce the problem? Screenshots are very welcome. I'd like to see the edit sequence when a problematic source clip is selected in a bin or in the source monitor. Also, your sequence settings, and the error messages you get.

    Jarle, my understanding is that when adding audio of different types, you need to first add the tracks and select which type they are, then add the audio to those tracks ... is that correct? I'm wondering if the OP needs to be adding tracks first.

    I'm puzzled ... PrPro can import clips of all kinds of media, via the Media Browser or the Project panel itself. Whether video/audio, video only, audio only. So I don't think it's importing as the problem ... is it trying to mix different audio types on the same sequence?

    For that, you might need to add tracks, then go to modify/audio and select the kind of track you need.

    This is really one of those things where you need to know ahead of time how you're going to structure the project. I might suggest instead of modifying additional tracks, to modify the camera media audio tracks to mono pairs.
