I see you figured out the following and edited your question but, in case it helps you or others: Absence of icon = standard track (which is a 'stereo' track). There are different pan/gains applied for mono source in standard/stereo timeline tracks and stereo source in mono timeline tracks. See notes below Audio gain can also be applied via clip mixer / clip gain and (this is a major gotcha for inexperienced in premiere editors) the track mixer. Best practice is to not use a PP sequence template but to create your own & have everyone use that, for consistency. Heres my notes on sequence 'master' modes: SEQUENCE AUDIO MASTER MODES: Mono - 1 output only - no pan, no assignment, no mapping Stereo - 2 outputs only - LR pan - no assignment - mapping to 2 inputs to 2 outputs on adaptive tracks Multichannel - 1 to 32 outputs - LR pan - assignment of mono/stereo to 16 pairs (even when only 1 output) - mapping n inputs to n outputs on adaptive 5.1 - 6 outputs only - no pan - no assignment - mapping 6 ins to 6 outs on adaptive tracks And Heres my notes on sequence 'track' modes: AUDIO TIMELINE TRACKS: Mono - Take mono (unity), stereo (centre pan -6dB) can be panned and MC assigned Standard - Take mono (centre pan -3dB), stereo (unity) can be balanced and MC assigned Adaptive - Take mono (centre pan, unity), stereo (unity), adaptive   Allow INPUT mapping (e.g. Front Left to all 4 tracks)   Allow OUTPUT mapping of that track (e.g. 1 to 1,5 &12, 2 to none) BEWARE have seen summing of previous material also NB - Adaptive tracks have the same number of channels as its sequence - can be mapped, balanced and MC assigned 5.1 - Take 5.1 only ensure sequence audio tracks are 'adaptive' for stereo or multichannel. - REALLY? I think they can be Stereo and less complicated LR pan on multichannel inputs is amount of input passed through ... View more

There's not so many occasions where I really want to 'switch audio with video' more often I want to be able to right click on an audio clip in the timeline and choose from any of the sync map tracks. I can see how complicated this is, once you get away from mono tracks (hence avid groups only work with mono) but audio is a huge part of editing. ... View more

My multicam/multichannel notes are even more garbled than my audio notes, so I won't paste them here. I do like to do the following, when prep time allows: Make sync map (multichannel) sequence, with sep sound recordings. (Leave timeline tracks 1&2 empty) Route audio so that half goes to output 1 and half to output 2 (if all ISO mics, otherwise production mix to 1&2) All Isos then routed to outputs 3-n. Add PIPs (and burn-ins) to each video to make multi-viewer Export multi-viewer with multichannel audio Import MV and place on top video track & audio tracks 1&2, remove PIP & burnins from lower tracks. Mute audio tracks 3-n. Enable this sequence as multicam. Editing can now be done with real time multiviewer  and production/guide mix from camera n+1. Easy to keep an eye on sync & switch to alternate audio tracks. the multiviewer is also v good for production to log May not work for you, particularly if you have to turn over AAF with original sound files, but works well for me. ...

Here's some (garbled) notes I made when I was trying to figure out 5.1 workflows: SEQUENCE AUDIO MASTER MODES: Mono - 1 output only - no pan, no assignment, no mapping Stereo - 2 outputs only - LR pan - no assignment - mapping to 2 inputs to 2 outputs on adaptive tracks Multichannel - 1 to 32 outputs - LR pan - assignment of mono/stereo to 16 pairs (even when only 1 output) - mapping n inputs to n outputs on adaptive 5.1 - 6 outputs only - no pan - no assignment - mapping 6 ins to 6 outs on adaptive tracks Timeline Master Outputs: Mono/Stereo/5.1/Multichannel (MC 1-32 tracks - needed for discrete outputs) AUDIO TIMELINE TRACKS: Mono - Take mono (unity), stereo (centre pan -6dB) can be panned and MC assigned Standard - Take mono (centre pan -3dB), stereo (unity) can be balanced and MC assigned Adaptive - Take mono (centre pan, unity), stereo (unity), adaptive   Allow INPUT mapping (e.g. Front Left to all 4 tracks)   Allow OUTPUT mapping of that track (e.g. 1 to 1,5 &12, 2 to none) BEWARE have seen summing of previous material also NB - Adaptive tracks have the same number of channels as its sequence - can be mapped, balanced and MC assigned 5.1 - Take 5.1 only ensure sequence audio tracks are 'adaptive' for stereo or multichannel. - REALLY? I think they can be Stereo and less complicated LR pan on multichannel inputs is amount of input passed through audio track mixer not visible by default mono - only 1 output.

Sounds like cache to me. Audio conform files are seperate from video I think. Stick the media cache folders into an 'old' folder & Pp will rebuild. Might take a while though... https://screenlight.tv/blog/the-definitive-guide-to-adobe-premiere-pros-media-cache ... View more

In my experience the red frames indicate where the CACHED video frames are missing. The cache on the Mac and PC are unlikely to be shared so are different. I get it when I overwrite an after effects .mov, and then only if that clip was at the playback position in PPro as it was being overwritten. Ive also seen it when I've exported from PPro with 'import to project' checked then reexported (overwritten) same file, with a different duration. Clip in PP was still pointing to original cache. I don't know of a way of 'refreshing' the cache for a particular clip. Between projects I delete all the media cache folders (inc audio & waveforms). ... View more

Yes it's easy if the target matches the original in length & timecode #1 make a copy of your project - just in case #2 select master clip, right click & 'make offline' then right click & 'link media' - point to fixed transcode All sequence instances of that master clip will be updated One caveat might be audio track setup though - from memory the relink will obey current prefs (as file/mono/stereo etc) - if you've modified the setup, or changed the prefs, then there may be some inconsistencies.

1. Where are you dragging from? (Bin / Source window / Direct from finder) 2. Where are you dragging to? (Timeline window, Program monitor?) If you are dragging to the TIMELINE window then the source patching is irrelevant- the patching is determined by the track you drag to. If you can't get this to drag & drop then something else is wrong. Maybe do a screen capture of what you are trying? If you are dragging to the Program monitor (and seeing overwrite / insert etc) then you MUST have source tracks selected so it knows what tracks to put where. ... View more

Resolve14 not released, only public beta and very buggy - fairlight is really only there as a tab so far, barely any functionality. I downloaded it on my laptop to see what's new. The facial tracking feature in Colour tab is fantastic. Havent much looked at the Edit tab though. Did try a multicam sync by audio, 4 x 50' clips. Took about 8 seconds! Hopefully the speed improvements will make R14 usable as an editor, to the stage where BMD start getting useful feedback from the quantity of editors that Avid had from about 1992 and Adobe have been getting in more recent years. Only then are the editorial tools likely to improve significantly. The price will help that penetration though. Having been an advocate for an 'all-in-one' solution for a long time, I do worry that it may be very tricky for BMD to keep development going on so many fronts. I see there isn't a Fusion/VFX tab yet, and TBH the interchange workflow (Avid or PP <-> Resolve, Resolve <-> Fusion) is pretty sweet at this stage. Completely agree that competition is good (how long until Avid promise a ProTools tab?) and good luck in your brave new Resolve world, thanks for your help here in the past. ... View more

Source track enabling & vertical positioning (i.e. 'patching') in Premiere is the only patching that counts. The timeline/record tracks do not need to be enabled for insert/overwrite editing. if you select a clip in a bin then those tracks (rather than the clip loaded in the source monitor) are available for patching, as source tracks next to the timeline tracks. There is no 'auto-patching' available as in Avid. . ... View more

Well I do take issue with mono always being 'professional'! I do often go and import sequences from previous projects and end up with an unholy mess of folders, often that are duplicates of my folders (as I use the same folder structure, give or take, for new projects).

No dice I'm afraid The solution is to go to adobe.com/go/wish and ask for 'auto-patching like Avid' - the more asking for it the more chance we have of getting it. I don't think you need to be any more erudite than that - there have been plenty of folks requesting it. (It would probably require a major rethink of their patching though, as the source side always overwrites the record side, regardless of track selection on the record side. Whilst that is annoying at times, I did find that I mssed it today, when I was back on Avid!) ... View more
