The First step is to do a Sequence Export that Matches the Sequence settings. This will be your VIDEO file that you will combine with your surround sound mix. The steps that follow show you how to make a "Video Mixdown" to add to your NEW SURROUND Sound timeline that we are going to make later in this wiki. | |
Go to >Sequence>Sequence Settings | |
Sequence Settings most common: Look at the Timecode - should be 23.976 or 24 Frame size should be 4096 x 2160 or 3840 x 2160 or 2048 x 1152 Working Color Space REC 709 NOTE WHAT ASPECT RATIO OF THE SEQUENCE | |
Export it go to >File>Export>Media | |

Choose the destination for the file Save it to your storage drive etc. . . | |
Click on Export in the lower right corner | |
The file will export for a bit so wait for that. In the meantime locate your Sound Mix files. The sound mixer should of exported a Surround Interleaved 5.1 .wav file | |
The file should look similar to this 5_1.wav file Don't want the ones labeled Stem they are not the full mix | |
We suggest making a new Bin to put the final files into for organization >File>New>Bin | |
Title the bin >Final Deliverables or similar then open the Bin to import the image and sound files into | |
Import the 5.1 Interleaved File into your Premiere Project RT click in the new bin and choose Import | |
