Learn to import a 5.1 channel audio project in Premiere Elements without creating a new project.

Adobe Premiere Elements facilitates importing and playing clips with 5.1 audio. You can create movies combining AVCHD video, stereo audio, and 5.1 audio and stereo audio. You can move clips from track to track in the Advanced view timeline regardless of whether the audio is 5.1 or stereo. To create a 5.1 channel track, drag a 5.1 onto the empty area on the Advanced view timeline of a stereo project. To create a stereo track in a 5.1 channel project, drag-and-drop a stereo clip into the empty area on the Advanced view timeline. A stereo track in a 5.1-channel project is created.

You no longer need to create a 5.1 project to import a 5.1 clip. You can import a 5.1 clip inside any project. If your sequence isn't made, drag and drop a 5.1 clip on the timeline to automatically create 5.1 tracks. If you have created a sequence with stereo tracks but want to import a 5.1 clip, you can drag it to the top of the timeline. When you drop it, it will create a separate 5.1 track for you. You can identify if a track is 5.1 if it's marked as 5.1.

Drag clips to the Monitor window

When you drag clips onto the Monitor panel, the audio is mapped to the channel type of Audio 1 track.

However, when you drag onto the Monitor panel, you are presented with the following additional options. The audio mappings change depending on the option you select.

Insert After

Audio is mapped to the Audio one track, and the clip is inserted in the Video 1/Audio 1 track. The clip is inserted at the end of the existing clip.

Insert Before

Audio is mapped to the Audio one track, and the clip is inserted in the Video 1/Audio 1 track. The clip is inserted at the start of the existing clip.

Insert

Audio is mapped to the Audio 1 track, and the clip is inserted in the Video 1/Audio 1 track. The current clip is split at the point where the CTI is pointing. The clip is inserted.

Overlay

If there is an empty track above Video 1/Audio 1, the selected clip is inserted on that track, and mapped to the corresponding track's channel type. If there is no empty track, a new track is created matching the channel type of the selected clip. Adobe Premiere Elements places the video on the CTI, in a track above the existing video. The new video file overlaps the existing video clip.

Overwrite

Allows you to manually assign audio clips to specific channels in a 5.1 sequence, overriding the default audio track.

Replace Clip

The clip is replaced and the mapping matches the channel type of the replaced clip’s track.
