Hi all, I have a requirement for my video to have 4 tracks of audio for the final output.

Track lay as follows:

Track 1:Full Mix

Track 2: Full Mix,

track 3 is MDE(music/dialogue/effects)

track 4 is ME only.

I created a new sequence with multi channel audio, laid down all the audio tracks in their respective audio timeline tracks from 1-4 in the outline mentioned above...

Now, when I set track output assignments, I can only assign audio tracks 1-4 to either master track 1-2 or 3-4..

How do I make it so that track 1 goes to master track channel 1, audio track 2 is for master track channel 2 and track 3/ is for master channel 3 / audio track 4 is for master track channel 4

Hope this makes sense..

Thanks!

That is correct. Premiere Pro only offers multichannel options in pairs. There's no other way to do it. You'll have to use the track's Pan/Balance control for refinement.

yes, Jim, right, first create multichannel audio - and then turn to mono tracks below.

After much mucking around, I found my solution.

The solution Jogen had (and thanks for that) is only if you are doing Full mix in 1/2 and MDE in BOTH 3/4. However, if you need M+E and M+D+E in 3/4 (2 separate tracks).. Then you need to change your track type to adaptive and not mono.

Then its just a matter of assigning the tracks as per the requirements.

Assign A1/A2 to 1/2 and A3/A4 to 3/4 -

and then pan A1 left, A2 right, A3 left, A4 right in your audio mixer.

There you can control also to which output your audio channel is routed.

Thanks Jogen.

However please note that A3/A4 are 2 different tracks, track 3 requiring mDE only and track 4 ME.

I changed the tracks type to adaptive and this now allows me to select MDE to go to master track 3, and ME to go to master track 4..

However, it's still not working. IN VLC player, the output video file is showing track 3/4 as carrying no audio..

Here's a pic of my setup.

Thanks in advance.

Make a new timeline with mono channels. Change your master audio to mono tracks (-> right click on clip in proj window -> modify -> audio channels). Audio for Track 3 and 4 should be mono, too.
