Hi, I'm wondering if anyone's dealt with this. I edited the entire Pirates series and only afterwards realized I had remuxed the files to have just 2 channel stereo audio, used that file to edit and now when I try to replace the video with proper audio in Premiere the audio remains stereo. The track in the Premiere sequence doesn't update to 5.1 Dolby surround unfortunately. Does anyone have experience with this? I want to have the best audio for these edits for Version 2. Thanks!
 
Yes. I can help.

When you start a project in Premiere, and drop footage onto a timeline, it creates a sequence on the fly, and by default that master audio track on that sequence is stereo, even if you import surround audio and put that in the timeline, the master will remain stereo.

However if you create a new sequence in Premiere, manually, you can change the audio setting for the sequence to be surround. You can have multiple sequences in one project so just do this in your existing project. Then just go to your edit's sequence, select and copy the whole timeline with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+a select all, Ctrl+c copy) then go to the new sequence's timeline and paste (Ctrl+v). It should retain all your edits and tweaks. Keep or delete the old sequence and work exclusively on the new one.
