Sorry for assuming you were using CS5.5 Production Premium. But yeah….I suppose it does seem like a limitation if you get footage from a shooter that ran a mic into channels 3 or 4. P2 is kind of a unique animal—one that you love and get used to its quirks if you’re the camera owner/editor. You learn quickly to run your ext mic (for voice) into Ch 1. The workaround I described goes super quick and should you ever need to pull keys using rogue audio on Channels 2 through 4, it’s a snap. By “rogue” I mean audio that was accidentally put there. A P2 shooter can run ext mic into Ch 1 for voice and pull nat sound from Ch 2, 3, or 4 depending on his on-cam mic capability and settings. John From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Tupper, Scott (HQP) Did not know this was a limitation of AE but kinda makes send. I did noticed that when I started digging more in AE that this was the case. Since I already pulled my keys, I am using Episode to convert the appropriate mxf audio files to aiffs and will sync back up in FCP. Perhaps it might be time to drop FCP/Duck. Thanks John.

Best anyone can do (if you know you’re going to need P2 audio in Ae) is to make sure they plug in any off-camera mics to channel 1 on a P2 cam. Then their primary audio track will always be on ch 1 and will always be seen in Ae. Only way I can see to workaround for channels 2-4 for Ae is to load the clip into a Pr sequence, right-click (choose edit in Audition), then in Audition select the track of choice and export as .wav. Then the .mxf audio track of choice can be brought into Ae. Native MXF audio won’t import. Sorry if you already knew all this. You didn’t want the bad news answer of “no.” John From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Tupper, Scott (HQP) Tried this for the first time and noticed that while AE 10.0 will work natively with P2 MXF media, it appears to only import 1 of the 4 audio channels. Is there a different way to get AE to recognize the remaining channels? Only good news please :-) Thanks!!! -scott
