ProRes Proxy audio issues

Nordern wrote on 1/10/2019, 3:06 PM

Due to massively laggy timeline probably due to my over the top levels of x264 video clips, I've started setting up FFMPEG batch files for Proxy creation & editing

The ProRes files play nicely & i can create them easily

However the problem: i cannot for the life of me get VEGAS to read both audio tracks ( Mic + Desktop)

Here is the Source .Mp4 x264 file: https://i.imgur.com/qhaUjBo.png Works as intended

and here is the ProRes: https://i.imgur.com/oWBvype.png

ProRes running on Quicktime 7(i think?): https://i.imgur.com/HOyLio4.png

Above has been with just copying the AAC audio, this one is with re-encoded to .Mp3 https://i.imgur.com/34zGRb6.png
It sees the audio tracks, but duplicates them

What can i do to make VEGAS see both tracks?

If you need any info from me i'll give it as soon as i can

 

Posting this again as VIDEO in hopes someone able to help sees it, can mod remove this one?

It appears to me that your MP3 version is not duplicating the tracks, but instead of coming in as 2 stereo tracks, like your source, they come in as 4 mono tracks. Does that not work for you?

If not, you could try using ffmpeg's -map and -map_channel functions to make your MP3 output 2 stereo streams, rather than one stream with 4 channels.

It is 2 stereo streams from the source, it does sound plausible that the ProRes one has 4 mono, i'll look more into this tomorrow
