I have a multitrack project that was exported from Premiere Pro which contains the rough edits of the raw studio sound files.
Several of the clips are mono, having been captured by lav mics. What I need to do is convert these clips in place into stereo before finalizing the mix.
While I can easily convert any clip to stereo from the waveform editor, the clip in the multitrack session does not change. Even if the clip is on a stereo track, the clip remains mono. Dragging the clip to a new stereo track does not work either. The clip stays mono.
If I drag the same clip from the files panel to the timeline, it will be stereo, but then it is not in the proper position and (because of the 1-second "margins") not easy to align with the original mono clip. It can be done, but there are many mono clips to do.
What I am looking for is a way to either convert a mono clip to stereo from within the multitrack session, or a way to "reload" a clip into the same position in a multitrack session, resulting in the stereo clip.
If there is no way to do this, what should have been done?
Thanks for any help!
