Question

proxy media and full resolution media must have matching audio channels

I feel like you should be able to attach proxies to full resolution media based on video and not just audio - I have hours worth of proxies that a DIT made and the audio channels don't match the source files so I can't connect them.
I can do this the traditional way, working with proxies, until picture lock, unlinking and then re-linking to full resolution media, however I'd prefer to have both on hand in Premiere.

If this doesn't get fixed soon, I may have to change my main NLE away from premiere.

I shoot on a C300 Mark II which records four channels of audio. I don't know how to create a proxy with audio that matches this, so I'd love to be able to create a stereo proxy and still be able to use it in the PrPro proxy workflow. Or even separate out the audio from the proxy workflow entirely - say have a video proxy file that links to the video side, and a separate audio file that connects to the audio portion. Thanks!

It's wild that such a massive platform cannot fix such a simple issue.

Another upvote for this. I have Prores QTs with 4 channel audio and have yet to successfully create proxies with 4 channel audio that Premiere recognizes correctly (usually it only links the first channel of audio), despite using custom ingest presets, Resolve, and a variety of codecs.

Yes. Please fix this Adobe. Just pass the audio through. Really need more functionality over features at this point.

Change this please Adobe!!!! Its a complete b*lls ache for proxies to be rejected because of mismatching audio channels.
