Importing video with 2 audio tracks

  • April 22, 2015

Hello,

I recorded the screen of my computer with Mirillis Action! which enable me to record multiple audio tracks (in my case : the sound from the computer in 1 audio track + my voice through a external microphone in a second audio track)

When I open the MP4 file in VLC, I can manually switch between the 2 tracks, this is workign great.

But when I want to import the video file in premiere pro, it shows me only the 1st track (the computer sound) and it is impossible to get the 2nd audio track

Yes I can demux with avidemux or virtualdub  (although I get some problems importing .wav files in premiere) but I would prefer a "cleander" option to get my track

(I precise it is 2 separate audio tracks, it is not 1 track stereo with L = computer sound and R = my voice)

Windows 7 64bits + Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Thanks for your help guys, I hope I'll get some

Guillaume

Correct answer dummergold

Hi, thanks very much for trying, I really appreciate that

So finally, you suggest to extract the audio track that premiere doesn't "see" and then import the video + the extracted audio track ? I might be able to do that I'll try thanks

And you're saying that premiere CC can "See" the mutlichannel (multiple audio tracks) and not cs6 ? if yes, maybe i'll upgrade soon...

Thanks  a lot !


‌no. Bad advice for CC being capable, sorry. I have tried both, but found my sample not as I thought. What I was seeing in one CC project was a sequence with a multi-channel audio that must have been in a preset, and I thought it was an automatic new sequence. I won't go into depth on my mistake, but please do not assume CC will solve unless someone can correct.

AS for rendering the audio out of your Sony Vegas. If it is anything like Premiere, I would turn off the video track, turn off the top audio track and only export out the bottom audio track that you do not see in Premiere. After that just import that audio into Premiere and place below what you already have.

As for future, the next time - would a voice over track help, after the fact of your first recording?

Ok so I am still confused.  I have a video clip that has three separate audio tracks.  I am fine having all three options in the blue ray that I want to make, however I really only want a particular one which isn't the first one.  I don't see the option to select it or import it in Premiere Pro CC 2018.

I have the same problem in Premiere Elements 2020 and I found nothing until I see this chat. Also Adobe helpdesk can't give me an answer for this simple question. Disappointing ...

    Maxli4,

    Does the fix that Trent_Happel replied work in Elements 2020?

    I don't believe that CS6 had support for multiple audio tracks for MPEG files. I double-checked this file in CS6 and confirmed what you are seeing, only the first track is imported. I tried the same file in the latest version of Premiere (CC 2014 8.2) and the file imports with both audio tracks. You can try this for yourself with the trail version. Video editing software | Download free Adobe Premiere Pro CC trial

    Screenshot of CC 2014 8.2 with your file:

      I don't quite understand what the problem is but have you tried ==in the project window right mouse button on the file, modify, audio channels, and select mono. to litterally seperate all channels.

      yes, Trent has it right. Premiere Pro CS6 only sees the one top audio track and Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2.0 (65) Build) sees both audio tracks.

      Good luck Guillaume.

      While the clip is in the project panel, right click on it, click on Modify, then Audio Channels, and choose mono and 2 tracks. Then right click your clip and click on New Sequence from Clip. See if that works.

        Hi, yes i've tried it and it doesn't work because it is not 1 audio track with two different left and right but 2 audio tracks, each one in stereo

        This is the result ;

        i'd like to have somehting like that when i drag it into the timeline : (screenshot from sony vegas pro)

        when I drag my video, 2 separate tracks are appearing without doing anything in file preconfiguration (but i don't mind to do it in adobe premiere if i can get this result )


        thanks for your help

        If it were me, I would render out the audio from your Sony Vegas that Premiere cannot see and import it into Premiere if you are still up to using it.

        And you tried selecting the clip in the project panel, dragging it to the 'new item' icon and letting Premiere make its own automatic sequence and Premiere does not make it into a multichannel master audio track?

        or manually make a new sequence as a multichannel master and inserting your video onto that?

        Hi, thanks for you answer, if you mean, by new item, dragging the video file in the timeline and/or dragging in the preview square (i've tried both) it only shows 1 audio track

        and here I tried the manually, with multichannel audio :

        and it doesn't work either :

        Hope we'll find a solution =D

        Thanks in advance
