Has Premiere fixed the proxy workflow with the 2024 upgrade, so that you can reconnect to full resolution media even though the number of audio channels on the source media do not match the 2 channel proxies?

Here's an old post from someone running into the problem on the 2022 version:

The problem was the cameras proxies, not premiere. The 4k full resolution has 4ch audio, and the proxies are 2ch, and was fixed by making 4k also 2ch......so the issue was having mismatching audio channels.

Really hope this issue has been fixed.

As far as I know, that's still the same, requiring matched audio channelization between both original and proxies. Sadly.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

So, upon pix lock, I will need to modify all the master clips to 2 channel? Is this a good workaround to the problem? Or do I need to customize the proxy preset to match however channels are on the master clips upon ingest?

Hey Paul

I recently created proxies for a project from within Premiere, hoping that I would avoid the audio channel issue that I encountered on a previous project. Unfortunately I am still having the same issue; '

The selected file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s) with a different channel type'.

I find it really strange that this happened, it makes no sense for Premiere to generate proxies with different audio channels to the sounce, but that's exactly what it's done. I've tried re-linking proxies both with and without the 'Preserve interpret footage settings' box ticked, but I still get the same error.

Interested to hear if anyone has some thoughts on this?

To update from my side: the footage in the project had a mix of clips with stereo sound along with clips with no audio. It appears that the majority of the proxies were encoded with the correct audio channels, but a small number had mismatched audio settings and I had to manually identify them and create new proxies with the appropriate audio channels.
