Rendering AAC 5.1 audio

Jarred-DuQuette wrote on 10/19/2021, 12:24 PM

I've imported a 1080P MP4 video that has 5.1 AAC audio, and have made the edits I need, but can't find a way to render the project and preserve the 5.1 AAC audio. I want to render it back to an MP4 with the 5.1 AAC audio. The render templates only offer stereo sound.

Thanks in advance for help with this!

The Sony AVC "Internet" templates should do what you want.

I can't find a way to choose 5.1 audio, only stereo with the sony templates. I'm running Vegas Pro 19, by the way.

Is the audio 'Master bus mode' set to 5:1 in ' File> Properties' ?

Under the Render As / Format / Sony AVC/MVC selections, select the appropriate Blu-ray template for your project, then click on Customize Template, select the Audio tab on the window that has opened, then open the drop down menu at the Template field. From the drop down list, there should be four 5.1 choices for AVCHD.

In order to render 5.1, you must start in a 5.1 Audio Project.

Except Jarred wants to render as mp4?

Yes, But Musicvid suggested Sony AVC to which Jarred replied that he couldn't find 5.1 under the Sony AVC templates, hence I provided guidance on how to drill down to the 5.1 templates.
