Change the source audio channel mapping for one or more clips
1
Select one or more clips containing audio in the Project panel and choose Clip > Modify > Audio Channels.
Note:
If you select more than one audio clip, make sure that the track format is the same for all the selected clips.
2
In the Audio Channels pane of the Modify Clip dialog box, do any of the following:
Select a format from the Track Format list.
To enable or disable an audio channel, select or deselect the Enable option for a source channel. When you add a
clip to a sequence, Premiere Pro adds only the enabled channels to a Timeline panel.
To map a source channel to a different output track or channel, drag a track or channel icon to another source
channel row. This step swaps the output channels or tracks for the two source channels.
Note:
When you view a clip with remapped source channels in a Timeline panel, the tracks appear in ascending order.
However, the mapping determines their associated source channels.
To map less than six source channels to the output channels in 5.1 surround audio, drag the channel icon to another
source channel row. Alternatively, click the 5.1 Channel icon until the source channel is mapped to the desired
output channel.
3
To preview the audio in a channel, select the source channel and click the Playback button or use the slider.
4
Click OK.
In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, you cannot modify audio channels of a merged clip. They must be mono by default.
However, you can still reorder and enable/disable all of the available audio channels from the component clips.

Map P2 clip audio for export to P2
You can export audio in P2 sequences back to their original four channels if you map clip audio channels to 5.1
channels correctly. You can export to four channels, for example, if you want to transfer your final output file back to
P2 media. Map the channels in your P2 clips before placing them into a sequence, and before using the File > Export
To Panasonic P2 command.
Note:
If you leave P2 clips at their default mono channel mapping, use them in a sequence with a 5.1 master track, and
export that sequence to P2, the exported file contains audio only in the third and fourth channels.
1
Import the clips into a P2 project containing a sequence with a 5.1 master track.
2
In the Project panel, select the clip or clips you want to map.
3
Select Clip > Modify > Audio Channels.
4
Under Track Format, click 5.1.
5
If necessary, click the 5.1 channel icons until they map the four source channels in this way:
Ch. 1 to Left-Front Channel.
Ch. 2 to Right-Front Channel.
