After using Merge Clips in CS6, the resulting file now has two audio tracks

Hey guys,

 

 

I'm running into a weird problem after using the Merge Clips option. I have my video and audio selected, I've already moved the audio so they're both synced. It looks like this:

Then I use Merge Clips and pull the new file into a new sequence which in turn looks like this:

 

premiere_2.jpg

 

I checked the audio channels for both and apparently the merged file separated the left and right audio channels into two separate streams as opposed to using the single stream for both channels like the original.

 

 

Anyway to prevent it from doing this?

    So according to Adobe's website: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS2bacbdf8d487e582-73 725e6a12e5a6165d0-7fff.html

     

    At the very bottom they list limitations, one of which being "Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only."

     

    Which I was familiar with before posting this. It doesn't seem however that the two tracks are mono it looks like they are two separate stereo tracks. If I mute one I still get audio in both speakers even though I muted the "right" track.

     

    Here's what they look like in the audio mixer

    The original only has the left most track.

     

     

    I guess the only thing to do is just deal with it or render out each clip uncompressed to have that single audio channel.
