Turning Stereo audio to mono

Apr 10, 2012 2:32 PM

I have the Sony PMW-EXR1. The camera has 2 XLR audio inputs. I took some video using 2 lapel mics plugged into each of the inputs. Input 1 recorded to the left side and input 2 recorded to the right side. I want all audio to be turned into mono.  I can't figure out how to do this...ideas?

 

Thanks,


Dean

    Dean,

     

    With your Audio Clip Selected, go to Clip>Audio Options>Breakout to Mono.

     

    If I understand what you want, that should do it for you.

     

    Good luck,

     

    Hunt

    Also, audio that imports into Pr as stereo can be tagged as dual-mono by selecting the clips in the Project tab, and choosing Clip>Modify>Audio  Channels>Mono button. 

     

    You can only do this before you edit any clips into a Timeline.  Once your clip is in a timeline, this option isn't available.  But, after you do this, and you drag a clip to a timeline, the audio will map to two mono tracks, instead of a single stereo track.
