No option to export Prores (or any codec?) with mono audio

[stevez62005409]

Hello world,

I must be blind or experiencing some strange glitch or something, because this seems unreal. Media Encoder and Premiere are giving me no option to export video with mono audio in the dropdown under Audio tab of Export Settings. For the smarta$$es out there 😉 I need to export mono audio because some of the footage in my project is cell phone vid where the recording was set to mono for some reason, and I'm making proxies of everything. I can't make proxies of the mono audio clips because if I don't export with mono audio, Premiere then tells me when I go to Attach Proxies that it can't attach proxies that don't have the same audio channels. It's a death spiral! Please tell me I'm just being stupid and don't tell me I have to go to an old version just to export mono...

Btw I'm on 25.1 Build 65. Can MXF OP1a just not be exported with mono audio? I see that h.264 does have an option for mono ... not ideal. Does anyone know the best codec for editing that can also export mono? Thanks

In the Audio section of the Export tab, I can choose Mono / Stereo / 5.1 under the section Basic Audio Settings.

I was exporting Prores MXF OP1a, like I said. You're talking about the options for a quicktime, which I realized after posting had different audio channel options and just did that. I don't understand why MXF can't be exported with mono audio, but c'est la vie. Have an eyeful.
