Track formats for mapping source audio channels
Mono
Maps the source audio channels so that they are placed on separate mono audio tracks when the clip is added
to a sequence. You can apply the Mono track format to clips containing any number of audio channels.
Stereo
Maps the source audio channels so that paired channels are placed on separate stereo audio tracks when the
clip is added to a sequence. You can apply the Stereo track format to clips containing any number of audio channels.
However, if the clip doesn’t contain an even number of channels, a channel with silence is created and paired with
the odd-numbered channel when the clip is added to a sequence.
Mono As Stereo
Maps the source audio channels so they are placed on separate stereo audio tracks when a clip is
added to a sequence. Adobe Premiere Pro duplicates the audio from mono source channels and places it in the left
and right channels of the stereo tracks. You can apply the Mono As Stereo format to clips containing any number of
audio channels.
5.1
Maps the source audio channels so that one or more groups of six channels are placed into separate 5.1 surround
audio channels when the clip is added to the Timeline panel. If the number of source channels is not in multiples of
six, Adobe Premiere Pro creates a 5.1 surround audio track with silence on one or more channels when the clip is
added to the Timeline panel.

To break out the channels in an audio clip
The Breakout To Mono command creates mono audio clips from a clip’s stereo or 5.1 surround audio. Breaking out
a stereo clip results in two mono audio clips—one for each channel. Breaking out a 5.1 surround clip results in six
mono audio clips—five channels plus the LFE channel. The original master clip is always preserved.
1
In the Project panel, select a clip containing stereo or 5.1 surround audio.
2
Choose Clip > Audio Options > Breakout To Mono.
The resulting files are given file names reflecting the name of the original clip, followed by the channel names. For
example, a stereo audio clip named Zoom becomes two files named Zoom Left and Zoom Right.
The Breakout To Mono command does not create clips that are linked. If you want to create mono clips that are
linked, use the Source Channel Mappings command.

feature, you can apply a mono clip to a pair of left and right stereo channels.
