Premiere Pro - multi-channel audio changes not taking effect

Hi. I'm working on a sound mix for a film.

 

When I swap out audio channels, the waveform in the timeline updates, but the audio is not changing immediately...

 

If I close the session and reopen it, the proper audio will be loaded up. 

 

I'm 100% certain this is a bug. Does anyone know iff anything on my end is causing it?

Everything on a sequence is metadata. From the clips involved, their in/out points, and all effects. It's all metadata that is used to display the sequence.

 

So your changes apparently aren't being instantly changed in the metadata of the sequence, which is a right royal pain. And unfortunately, PrPro doesn't have a 'refresh' feature, which would be handy for so many things.

 

Like ... create a LUT from a Lumetri instance, exporting it to the proper User folder tree. It won't be seen by PrPro until you exit/reopen the app, as that is when it refreshes the list of installed things.

 

It shouldn't do that with timeline changes, which is what you're doing, right? Simply changing something in a timeline?

The editor cut the entire film with the default audio channels chosen. There are cleaner takes. So I...

 

right-click a clip >  audio channels > change the media source channel

 

It's weird because the channels sometimes update, and other times don't. It's super frustrating though, because I'm on a deadline.

So you're choosing a different channel within a clip? Say it's got six channels, and you're changing from 1/2 to 5/6?
