Fixing audio that's only in one side in Premiere Pro

[@CurvelineFilms]

You just saved my butt on multiple projects. The fill wasnt working but "audio tracks" did the trick. what a relief!

[@punknugget561]

You know, I was looking for a shorter video, but after watching this vid, I was really impressed with the variety of ways that you could change the audio file. Thank you for putting this together and explaining the way to you did! Very well done! 🙂

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks. I think it's always good to know all the different ways to do something so you can pick the best for you.

[@TheFPSChannel]

And again I watch a video thinking ‘I know what you’re going to show me’, and then I learn multiple new things. ❤️

[@VideoRevealed]

That's awesome!

[@heroknaderi]

Thank you for your support. Very informative. I know it can be frustrating to accidentally record in mono where only one side works but at least there’s a fix. Thanks again. Now we can have sound on both sides 😁😁

Hi Colin, This is my first time on your channel. I'm a fitness coach and run my own online coaching company. Being a start-up it's tough to afford a full-time editor for my content creation videos. So I've started self-learning on the premier pro and was having a sound issue with one of my videos. I'm still about getting the hang of the lingo used by professionals such as you. But thanks to your video, I managed to fix the sound issue and also somewhat learned in the process on the difference between mono and stereo sound. You're doing a great job. Appreciate the help and god bless you. Regards. Pankaj N, CSCS Muscle Layman Coaching

THANK YOU!!! My workplace just bought us a fancy camera. We used it for a project and I dropped it in Premiere. This fixed my problem!!!

[@TASS.PARRAS]

Second solution was perfect and absolutely guarantees you a new subscriber. I have been fighting this issue for the last 2 hours

[@MoveTube]

I'm here before 2k views and man... I've been looking for a solution all over KZbin for 2 days and this is the only video with the real solution. the solution at 2:25. I like liked, commented and subscribed cause of this helpful video. thanks brother!

[@VideoRevealed]

Glad I could help

[@ZachOliver-t9x]

legend thank you so much, other people said to change it to mono but that didn't work, but added tracks did, thank you so much again !!!!

[@MrTonyPerkiss]

Thanks Colin!! Brilliant as always

[@marcgothic]

Thanks Colin. One thing that I miss about Avid is that if this happens you can just pan the audio. Of course I know from your tutorial on Modifying audio from the get go this can be done. Thanks so much!!

[@VideoRevealed]

That would be a good feature for Premiere Pro to have!

[@ibremaa]

I have watched some tutorials but only this video works for me specially the second method. Thanks

[@alyshabaker-diaz153]

I've watched a lot of your videos of the years. They are all super helpful. This one was beyond amazing. You've just saved my day. Thank you! 🎉

Thanks man, You're my specialz !

[@RomeCreative]

Thank you, that was very helpful!

[@abbyblueco]

Problem solved - thank you for this! Question: for the creation of the mono track, this significantly reduced the audio decibels of these tracks. I know the ways to fix this but why does this happen? Is it being compressed?

[@00Nick00]

Great tips. Very useful! Thanks.

[@helios7055]

Thanks, Colin, this was very helpful to understand how audio channels work on Premiere, I have a question I hope you can help me with it, is there any way to change the channel format of clips that are already in the sequence, I know you said it's not possible in the video but is there any turnaround to it? Cause I edited a video that was recorded with two different microphones and it has one microphone in the right channel and the other one in the left one. The problem is that when I dragged it to the sequence it was changed to mono but with just the Left channel enabled (so there's no audio from the second microphone) I edited the whole video like that and now I've realized that microphone 2 is missing. Is there any way to substitute the file in the sequence so that it has both channels?

[@brandonfrank1300]

Very helpful and clear thank you!!!

[@madisonlacoss966]

This is so cool, you're a life saver!!

[@bajatrawler7325]

Thanks Colin. Great tutorial as usual. I wonder if you could help me with a problem I'm having in my underwater videos. When filming clips, the camera mic picks up the noise of the camera running in the underwater housing, as well as the sound of the exhaust bubbles coming from my scuba mouthpiece. When editing in PP, I would like to mute the camera noise, which I think is on the left channel and retain only the exhaust bubbles on the right channel. I have tried all 3 of your suggestions in this video, but I can't isolate and mute the annoying camera noise. It appears that the tracks are separate because the waveforms are different. Any help would be appreciated.

[@VideoRevealed]

Select the clip(s), go the the Clip menu and choose Audio Options > Break Out To Mono. This will separate both channels so you can just throw away the one you don't want. You can also Right-click on any clip(s) choose Modify > Audio Channels and pick Mono Right which will disregard the Left channel with noise you don't want.

[@SwediCandy]

But what if I have a clip on both left and right but only want it on one side for a funny effect! How do I do this the other way around?

[@panthereditzzz]

Thank you soo much you solved my problem sir❤

[@DougVandegrift]

Good advice. When this happens I will break both tracks to mono and just use the mono track I need.

[@VideoRevealed]

Another great choice.

[@SwingSwindlers]

Super helpful, no nonsense, thanks for that!

[@BrazenBreeds]

LIFE SAVER. Thank you.

[@RetroRepairGuy]

Hi Colin. Very informative as always. I always used to think this was "mono" in Adobe Premiere and unaware of the fact that mono shows on both sides. Is there a difference in quality of the sound once output if we record on both sides vs "cloning" one side? PS Happy New Year!

[@VideoRevealed]

No, there's no difference in quality.

[@aperturefilm]

Thank you soo much sir you just saved my project

[@LauraRochelleWB]

Saved my ass for an edit today- thank you!

[@nufapro9898]

Thanks, very useful.

[@Evliveoyuncu]

Hi Colin, what if i have track, left is one persons voice right is the other. How do i mix them?

[@VideoRevealed]

Convert them to 2 mono channels. Right-click, Modify > Audio Channels and set them there.

[@Evliveoyuncu]

@@VideoRevealed thanks for the reply!

[@nickyvicky8944]

Sir It should be play correctly in a perfect speaker audio setup?

[@pregenderneutral]

THANK YOU MY BROTHER!

[@gregsalas1983]

Great video, thx!!

[@JellyB0B0]

I always use fill L with R thank you for the solution.

[@VideoRevealed]

Great.

[@filmhackYT]

My sequences won't even allow me to fill right with left when I try to drag it on. That's how I've always dealt with this issue. I tried creating a new sequence with a stereo clip I know are recorded in mono and it's still doing it.

[@LowWiseZahStudios]

Thanks, man!

[@28alsavage]

Thank you!!

[@richiebrinez6027]

Colin, is there a tutorial of yours teaching how to record an audio voice-over to the timeline in mono (not how to convert into mono or vice versa). Thank you.

[@VideoRevealed]

I have a tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaSXapVof7aGeLs To record to mono, just make sure you've added a mono track to record on and click the microphone for that track.

[@JayDaPriest]

Your Awesome!! Thank you.

[@luciasara7872]

Hi, I'm have some 5.1 audio footage where the music is all on the left, and the dialogue is all on the right, and premiere won't let me fix it, I've tried everything. These tips don't work on 5.1 for some reason; I tried making a duplicate audio track and inverting the audio but I can't put any effects on it. Do you have any tips on evening out specifically 5.1 audio?

[@juliannazinchenko]

thank you!!! this helped!!

I'm having surround sound issues... I'm running optical from my PC to a Yamaha RX-N600... it's old but can do a good job. I can't get anything on my computer to output in DTS or Dolby besides the "test" sounds and a DTS file I downloaded. In my PC settings, it says it it capable of DTS and Dolby and when I play a test the receiver says "DTS" or Dolby" depending, which I choose, and does in fact show a 5.1 icon. Everything else I play: games, anything streaming online, plays in pro logic stereo. Even 5.1 files I export from Premiere only play in pro logic stereo... I've been through every setting and can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

[@VideoRevealed]

Maybe it's a licensing thing? Try a different format? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJyclahpf9iWaqc

thank you king

[@Ghimugaming]

sir PLASE listen my problem 😖 i used a transtion between two pictures in premiere pro but the transtion sound(woosh) is not working remember that the sound is in A3 track but when i drag this sound in A2 track sound(woosh) works but coming from left, right is empty And i againg drag this sound in track A1 sound comes from right side this time LEFT is empty 😓 now , its a request if you know the solution please guide me

[@VannVisuals]

thank you!!!!

[@bongerworld]

i always open the audio clip in audition then go into favourites - change to mono then change to stereo.

[@VideoRevealed]

That's a lot of extra steps though. 😬

[@anhdungnguyen5512]

i love u, u fix my problem

[@ghogarth]

Thank for this. One trick I've done is to duplicate the track, and then put the interviewer @ about 90% in the A channel, 10% in the B channel, and the interviewee in the reverse (90%B, 10%A). This add some dimensionality to the interview. Of course, it adds a fair chunk of time to the editing process.

[@VideoRevealed]

Great tip, thanks!

Man every tutorial assumes it is a stereo track with an empty right channel... what if it is a mono track? Then this effect doesnt work.

[@Ethereal_Mist]

My Audio sounds through both sides but shows L on the clip.

[@SYN30STM]

Or you could right click edit audio in audition. De select the side with no audio. Then select the audio with sound, copy, deselect the audio with sound, select audio with no sound and paste. Wala lol safe way
