Learn how to map source and output audio channels in Adobe Premiere Pro to create a high-quality audio experience.
Audio channel mapping allows you to route individual audio channels from a clip to specific tracks in the timeline. This can be useful with multi-channel audio clips, such as those recorded with a surround sound microphone or a multi-track audio recorder.
When you import a clip with multiple audio channels, Premiere Pro automatically creates a sequence with the appropriate number of audio tracks to accommodate all channels. By default, each audio channel in the clip is mapped to its audio track in the sequence.
Create a project and import clips with multiple audio channels. You can change the audio channel mapping on import or during editing.
- Right-click the audio in the Project panel and select Modify > Audio Channels.
- In the Modify Clip dialog, use the Audio Channels tab to change the mapping.
Result
You have successfully specified how the audio channels in the clip are mapped to the audio channels in your project.
