You've misunderstood. I'm the filmmaker. No one hires me.

Sorry--all I saw was "I'm editing on a PC using Premiere." No mention of job titles.

Removed the other quote since it wasn't mine.



MFW gave you good advice above.

Are you coming in halfway into the convo? I quoted the
exact words from the contract, and then was asked what
they meant. THEN I said that I believe they want etc.

As near as I can determine, you said the spec says...
Quote:
"stereo mix on channels 1 & 2 and separate
music and effects on Channels 3 & 4."

Then you said...
Quote:
I believe they want channel 1 to be Left Channel Dialogue
and 2 to be Right Channel Dialogue, Channel 3 to be Left
Channel M&E and Channel 4 to be Right Channel M&E.

If the spec says that Ch1/2 are "stereo mix" that does not
mean "Left and Right Channel Dialogue" in my book.

To my understanding. "Stereo Mix" means Stereo Dialogue +
Stereo Music + Stereo Effects. And then they want just Stereo
Music + Stereo Effects on Ch 3/4 [presumably to dub other
languages?]

I'm not sure how you could do this with Premiere even if you
had multi-channel audio output hardware. I've never seen any
audio channel assignment options in Premiere. But then I have
not gone looking for them either.

Thanks for the advice. And I'm not actually mixing with Premiere, I'm
outputting with Premiere. I do mixing with Pro Tools.

I'd love to pay a pro sound guy, but when I say low budget, I mean low budget.
When you say inexpensive, you talking under $600?

Hence, the do-it-yourself thing. Maybe next picture there'll be money for post
audio guys.

After mixing in ProTools, how many tracks of audio do you bring into
Premiere??? Do you have four tracks of audio in Premiere? Help us out a
little here.

Well, how about outputting from ProTools to tape? It's what we audio
pros do all the time.

You can create up to 99 stereo tracks in most recent versions
of Premiere (Mr. Farger didn't reveal which version he is using).

OTOH, I've never seen any way of outputting anything but the
final 2-channel ("stereo" if you wish) mix from Premiere.

Mr. Tillman's suggestion about outputing from ProTools seems
more practical than trying to do it from Premiere.

Output in two runs. I don't know of any soundcard that works with Premier
that will let you output 4 different tracls through for different outputs,
so output in two runs. Once to ch1&2, a stereo mix (complete, with
everything in it), then do a second pass for the M&E to ch3&4, with
everything but the dialogue. If you don't have an M&E, see if you can
deliver without it.

Why? Are you outputing more than two audio channels?
The Canopus card has 2-channels of audio in and out.

When you say channels do you mean what's commonly used for left and right
audio
in stereo output?

Perhaps the problem IS how do I get Premiere to export two separate audio
streams out at the same time.

If you mean a second _stereo_ output stream, well, you won't.
