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

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

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

Select the file and import

Import the Video File you just exported that matched the Sequence Settings

Choose only the .mxf that exported there will also be a .xmp but you can ignore that

Click on the New Item and choose Sequence

DON'T HIT OK YET!!

NEXT CLICK ON THE Tracks TAB

...

Set Video to 1 track
And change Mix from Stereo to Multichannel and set
Number of tracks to 6

Change the Track Type of the one audio track to 5.1

Title the sequence and click OK

Double click the exported Video file to load it into the source monitor

Drag the Video Only icon to your newly created timeline

Choose to Keep existing settings

Double Click the Surround Audio File to load the sound mix (5.1 Interleaved) file into the source monitor

 and drag the audio only tracks to the timeline

Place on the 5.1 track in the new sequence you just made

   

YOU will be only able to check audio tracks 1 and 2 so you won't hear dialog but hopefully you can tell well enough.

The final check will be the QuickTime you will make next.
