Adobe Video Editing Software – Two audio paths workaround

[radi]

Many of you use „Recording microphone into separate audio track” feature for your video recordings. You probably notice that Adobe software like Premiere Pro, Elements or After Effects do not see the second audio path which is your microphone. Sadly there’s nothing we can do about it and the fix lies on Adobe hands, but no worries, there’s a workaround method, so this is not a lost cause.

To make it simple we will set this instruction step by step.
1. Download a VirtualDub (freeware) from www.virtualdub.org
2. Install VirtualDub
3. Open your VD and then open your video file with two audio paths. You can stop the video, we are not here for the graphics, we are here for the sound.
4. On the top menu press Audio -> Source Audio -> Select Stream 2
5. Again on the top menu press File -> Save WAV and choose file destination.
6. Click save and you are done. Your microphone audio track is now a separate audio file which you can export easily into your Adobe software.

If you still find difficult to export your audio path feel free to post in this topic or contact us directly via support@mirillis.com

Chances are saving the audio to a separate file could potentially cause sync issues. It will also decrease performance because the HDD has to split its write time between the two files (different location on the HDD).

I personally would like the feature as well, but it does come with a cost if users are not aware of the limitations then it would easily be perceived as as issue with the software.

Because the lack of the support lays on their hands. Sony Vegas for example has no issues with files with more than one audio track. And as DarkMain stated above a separate file could cause synchronisation issues.
