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?

Good question. I chose a custom location for the proxies, but it just transcoded them directly into that folder, without any folder structure. So I created folders for each card of footage we had and arranged the clips accordingly which meant that I had to re-link the footage. Perhaps that's contributing to the issue, although that would mean that any time you hand over a project or move it to a different drive, you would encounter the audio channel error.

After moving your media, rather than relinking when Premiere prompts you, keep the proxies offline. Then, select your media in the Project panel, right-click, and choose Proxy > Attach Proxies.
