I'm producing some videos. All audio I've ever used in Premiere Pro CS4 has always been on both L and R audio channels, and it always works.
This colleague sent me some sound files recently and when I imported them into PP, the audio is only on the L channel. I cannot hear it coming out of my system louspeaker and when I did a test export from PP, the MP4 file only has the sound on the L channel. So I imported a recent sound clip into the same project and my audio is fine - it's on L and R channels and you can hear it out of the speaker and it's on both channels.
I told the colleague that his sound clips must have audio on both channels L and R. But what I'm asking here is - what did he do differently when he recorded his sound to make it go to L only, while mine goes to both L and R? Is there more technical data I can pass on to him to explain this further? The funny thing is when you look at his clip and mine, PP shows the data of them being almost identical (see below). I'm familiar with hard-wired audio boards like Shure and others where you can pan the sound L or R. Or perhaps when he recorded, he had it set to L only.
Below are various images:
Thanks.
