5.1 Surround Sound export must fit within the strict guidelines of Dolby Digital to guarantee playing properly. This tutorial will walk you through the correct settings needed. Thanks to Charles Van Winkle of Adobe for help with all the technical data.

THANKS!
😃 To all the wonderful people who have supported VideoRevealed 😃 - Навчання та стиль
I just thought I would let you know that you are amazing, I thank the world for good people like you
Comments like yours make a huge impression on me, thanks!
Bravo! *Claps*
I'm very grateful you are doing these 5.1 tutorials! Thank you so much!
You're welcome. And thanks to Charles at Adobe!
Thanks, appreciate it. Just as a side note to your UPDATE: When I heard Adobe was no longer going to be able to export DD, I kept my older 2017 version. I can see that this version is no longer available to roll back to and all links to it have been removed, presumebly becuase of the DD licensing issue. I am VERY glad I kept my older version.
I think the license for all old versions is not valid anymore.
Wait, what? So then you can't make films, shows, etc that require DD anymore. So if you're working for Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, or for distribution and the audio post house delivers the sound in 5.1, you can't deliver it in DD? So then Adobe P is out of the game
Very well presented once again, you gave me a lot of answers with this one, thank you!
Thanks for your support.
Of course more bitrate is better. 448 for surround. Highpass only removes DC below 3 Hz, that and rear attenuation by 3db should be adjusted in the mix. The max bandwidth of the LFE is already limited without the lowpass. If you were to transcode a soundtrack, you don't want to apply the filters a second time.
Besides being a loudness target, dialnorm also sets the threshold the dynamic compression that is built into the decoder. Loudness normalization was not liked, but has now returned in every audio distribution format. New Dolby encoders can measure it automatically.
What was the purpose of the HDCD flag? Since we have a lossy codec with ca. 18-bits, the special encoding of HDCD can't be transmitted and the greater range can be expressed directly. What was it supposed to do? It's very old stuff. DTS also has this flag. Could it perform the peak extension? It seems to me they misunderstood something about the HDCD. It relies on a lossless channel to encode hidden parameters.
I just noticed that you have hearing aids. I wear hearing aids and I am addicted to sound. I love this video that you made and I appreciate all your other videos. Thank you very much #Proud2Hear.
Actually, I'm wearing Shure in ear monitors instead of headphones so I can hear what I'm doing and not record the speakers in the boom mic. I'm glad you like my channel.
Thank you for the detailed description
Glad it was helpful!
this is the best tutorial i came across after a long long time... thank you smith :-)
You're very welcome.
my man, a lot of info. Super valuable video. Thanks!!!!
You're great man! thank you very much! very instructive
Thank you so much! I️ learned a lot from you so I️ appreciate you.
You're welcome.
Hello, and thanks very informative. after exporting im getting approximately 6db drop in level on all 6 channels. keep messing with settings but no improvement. I am an audio engineer and the film needed an ac3 5.1 so was just converting. I am well with in the atsc loudness standards. when playing the surround mix the master fader reads same output as main file {not altered} so the level drop is occurring in the export? thanks for any help. Greg
Hi Garett, can you please contact me via my website and I'll get this issue in front of the Adobe engineers. videorevealed.com/contact.html
Really appreciate the effort.
Thanks man!
My pleasure!
I need your help! I downloaded your sample from the last lecture. It plays in VLC but when I load it into adobe, I won't find the audio... How do I do that? Im using Adobe cc 2017
Update to 2020
Thanks so much for this tuto @VideoRevealed i really appreciate it.
You're welcome.
Hii smith i am uding a Adobe premier pro cc 2018 and i am getting one prob in importing a AC3 audio files which with video its a audio video file. But when i am Importing its giving me a error "The audio in this file requires the Dolby Audio Decorder" plz help me to instal the codec I am Using Window 7
Adobe no longer includes a license for Dolby and now they rely on the operating system to decode that format. You'll need Windows 10 as Windows 7 does not include native Dolby decode support.
You can also purchase a Dolby license from several companies.
Hi sir,... is there any option that i can encode my video song to 5.1 Dolby Digital MPG format? ..I,ve installed Adobe Premiere Pro 2017, but when i am going to encode dolby digital, its having only 2 channels and Dolby digital with 2 ( L/R ).. How should I change to 5.1 Dolby Digital sir
Adobe removed Dolby Digital after I made this tutorial. Watch this tutorial for alternatives: ua-cam.com/video/Vk9du3Jsc4E/v-deo.html
What if we're using headphones ? Does our 5.1 export will be play the same as with LFE speaker or would it be smarter to do a Stereo export in this case ? Thanks for your answer (y)
Exporting to stereo, which is what headphones are, will simply mix all channels to left and right and you'll loose the surround sound experience.
So sir....is there any other way to create a dolby digital plus mix in our short film? As you said adobe has removed it...are there any alteranative options available for us? What if i created in AAC 5.1 and then laterupscale it to dolby digital plus 7.1?
Dolby Digital is a licensed product. You need to purchase the license or use an alternate format. Here's a tutorial on that:
ua-cam.com/video/Vk9du3Jsc4E/v-deo.html
Hi, great video! What the version of your adobe premiere?? Thanks a lot
This tutorial was created using a version of Premiere Pro with Dolby. Since that time, Adobe has removed the Dolby license so you need to purchase it. But there are alternative 5.1 formats:

Hello, I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro Cc V12.0 and encountering my Software Dolby Digital no option Please help me... Thanks
Adobe removed the Dolby license since I released this tutorial. I mention this in the video description. You need to purchase a Dolby license from someone else.
Thanks for the great video. I am trying to solve a slightly different problem. Does Premiere export an AC3 file as an AC3 file? I have imported a ProRes file with AC3 audio. It plays and edits fine in Premiere. But when I try to export I can't find an option to export the audio in AC3 format.
Choose Dolby Digital, it's the same as AC-3.
Thanks. I did try that before but I noticed the codec is identified in finder as a mono sound file. Whereas my original AC3 sound file, within finder, is identified as an AC3. Thought I was doing something wrong. I'll try again and import the exported file to see how it is identified within Premiere. Thanks for getting back.
I have been very puzzled how to create a DVD directly from Adobe Premier Pro because a person I work with needed it for a school project. It's incredibly easy to prepare a video for UA-cam, but I had to use an old Windows movie maker program in order to get a DVD made.
As a Creative Cloud member, you have access to Encore CS6 and here's a tutorial by my buddy Dave Helmly on how to create a DVD:
ua-cam.com/video/ULYmSdv3FkU/v-deo.html
You say that mpeg-dvd supports it but since I moved to mac m1 and lost my surcode plugin, there is no dolby digital option under any heading other than h264. I can export a h264 file but not files for bluray or dvd unless I go down to stereo.
Adobe removed support for Dolby Digital. You have to purchase is separately or use another surround format:
ua-cam.com/video/Vk9du3Jsc4E/v-deo.html
@@VideoRevealed thank you. Do you know if there is a way of using AAC audio with the mpeg dvd and bluray presets? It doesn't show up for me.
Where can i purchase that?@@VideoRevealed
What about dolby atomos making with audition or premier
Adobe stopped licensing any Dolby technology.
helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/dolby-end-of-support.html
Hello, I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and encountering a problem... I am not able to switch from AAC to Dolby Digital as the audio format from the export settings... I would appreciate if you could help me... the settings are always locked at AAC itself and does not allow to change or choose any other audio format! Please help me... Thanks
You need to upgrade to the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2017.
VideoRevealed thanks! 😊
Does anyone know why I am not getting the Dolby digital export options? I am only seeing AAC and MPEG, I have the latest updated version of premiere pro aswell.
Adobe removed Dolby encoding.
helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/dolby-end-of-support.html
VideoRevealed so do i just use the AAC format instead?
Sure
Thank you for the great tutorial! I'm a sound mixer and often export 5.1 files to send to editors for exporting from Premiere. My question arises from the fact that I have been trying to export a short example of my 5.1 mix with video from Premiere myself. I have the latest version (subscription) of Premiere. I followed your steps by making a 5.1 sequence and then adding the video and the 5.1 file I mixed and exported from Audition. I see clearly that my master shows all 6 channels. But, when I choose .h264 in the export dialog box, I do not get a choice to export the audio format as Dolby Digital, only AAC or mpeg which does not allow exporting as 5.1 audio. What am I missing?
Bad news, since I recorded this tutorial Adobe has not renewed their Dolby license so as a result, any Dolby export functionality will not be available in any version of Premiere Pro CC, Audition CC or Media Encoder CC (even all the older versions).
The only option is to purchase a third party encoder. I had a look and the options are very confusing by many different vendors with Dolby being the most, crazy expensive.
That explains it ;( ...and thank you for the fast reply. After experimenting a little bit I have been able to export my 5.1 sound + video but it was a tortured experience that I'll have to try to repeat before I can even remember the steps to be able to repeat or explain it to someone else. I almost feel like I tricked Media Encoder into doing it! - You make great tutorials, btw. Thanks again.
Wow, glad you got it to work.
Actually if you export audio as AAC separately, using: File> Export>Media>AAC Audio. then transcode that AAC file using "Xmedia Recode" ( a free download) to ac3 you will have a Dolby Digital Surround Sound file., providing all settings are correct that is.
thanks, Nick... good to know -
Hi! Do you know how to load and edit a movie with 5.1 sound in adobe premiere pro cc 2017, and then export it? I can do this, but the problem comes when i export the file, cause it plays in mono, not 5.1, even though the properties of the file says it's really a 5.1 video file.
Thanks!!
Since I created this tutorial, Adobe has stopped shipping Dolby encoding capability in Premiere Pro. You need to purchase a license from Dolby or another vendor to export 5.1 Dolby.
VideoRevealed Wow! I didn't know that! So, Premiere supports Dolby but it won't work unless you purchase a license? Damn! Thanks a lot for the info!
Premiere Pro supports *decoding* (reading) of Dolby files via the operating system. The *encoding* (writing) of the files is no longer supported for free.
Well, i managed to make it work somehow. I now can export the files with AC3 5.1, using the dolby surround option in the audio menu.
@@rhapsody1979 hi, please provide me with the procedure to export the movie with 5.1 sound in pro 2019
What about if you are bringing in a 5.1 Camcorder file. When you put it on the timeline, It puts the 5.1 audio all on one line so there is no real control over the audio in the camcorder file?
I think you can find your answer in this other tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/Tb4HwSUrAjw/v-deo.html
Thank you kindly for that. I had already watched that, but my confusion is, a lot of the hd camcorders record a avchd mts file. In that file, the 5.1 channels are embedded. If I drag that clip onto the make new time line, It puts the 5.1 audio from the file on ONE 5.1 audio track only. This means the only control you have over that track is to raise and lower the volume of the whole 5.1 channels not individual ones. I hope I am explaining myself correctly. Thanks again.
Try selecting the clip and going to the Clip menu> Audio Options> Breakout to Mono. This will give you six separate mono files that you can now automate in the Timeline.
Thank you that makes sense. Enjoy all your tutorials. Always learn something more.
Premiere Pro CC no longer exports to Dolby Digital. There is no longer the option as of June 2018.
Correct. Since I created this tutorial, Adobe removed the Dolby license in all versions of Creative Cloud. :-(
What is the last version of PPCC that had Dolby Digital export?
All previous versions that *did* have Dolby encoding have now been removed.
is it in PP 2017.1.2 v11,0, Oasis which I use and am I still allowed to use it. Again what are people that wish to create 5.1 content doing?
If you have an old version installed, then yes, you have Dolby. As soon as you update, it will be gone.
The removal of Dolby encoding is very new so I really don't know what people are doing. My guess is, if they are professional audio engineers, then they're most likely using a different program for audio like Pro Tools, Nuendo or Logic.
superb explain
How about Dolby Atmos? As i know that format does need many speakers in Atmos Theather only. So the Audio Engineer or Mixing guy does need real Dolby Atmos Studio setup to mix Atmos track. Is that right?
oh ya. my first movie that i watch in Dolby Atmos format theater was Assassin's Creed. wow what a thunderous sound and i'm like surrounded by many sounds! lol.
You would need a Dolby Atmos license plus software and hardware to support it. Not something you can do in Premiere Pro at this time.
Cool.
can we edit any audio like songs..again
as a 5.1 format..?
Yes.
VideoRevealed oh thanks
hai sir what about dts true hd and dts x and dolby atmos in adobe please tell me.
I don't think those formats are not supported in Premiere Pro as they require an extra Dolby license.
how to get that extra license for dts please make any tutorial on that

could you make a tutorial on recording video and the aesthetics of editing.
That's quite a broad subject, could you be more specific? Recording a dramatic live action video would be entirely different than recording an interview. The same could be said about the editing for each.
well I want to know about both types of filming and editing because of client request. it will be appreciable if you can do it.
Sorry but to do this correctly would take months and probably years of working in the business. A simple tutorial would not do it. You have to look through the lens on set. Develop your own style and fail and learn. That's the only way to become valuable to someone looking to hire you.
ok, so could you just suggest some tips to use.
you have way more options than me. for example, the best channel configuration i have is 2/10 (L R) and i only get 2 channels, why is this? thanks.
Is your Master Track 5.1?
Are you using the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2017 11.1.2?
how do i make my master track 5.1? (sorry, i'm an audio noobie)
and yes, i am.
You can't change a Stereo Sequence to 5.1, you have to create a new Sequence that has a Master Track of 5.1. You can then copy and paste all the clips from the other Sequence.
VideoRevealed i will be sure to do that. thanks! just one more thing while i have you here, is it smart to have dialogue in one track, sound effects in another, music in another, background noise in another, etc. or what determines what sound goes in what track? thanks again!
Absolutely it's essential to keep similar audio clips on the same track. it's easier to organize but more importantly, it's better to mix all the dialog if it's on one track compared to SFX on another track.
Have a look at this tutorial on Sound Design: ua-cam.com/video/8kzvFFw0Hgw/v-deo.html
install ASIO drivers you will get back multi-channel audio back in Premiere.(in all others as well) btw it's free
ASIO isn't the same as a Dolby license.
I will be releasing a new tutorial on 5.1 alternatives on May. 19.
@@VideoRevealed well this is only way I could make free 5.1 mapping with premiere. printed DCP and tested it on DCP projection. works perfect
Why is that my LFE automatically set to "Disabled" :/
Can you confirm that you created a 5.1 Sequence and you're choosing an export format that supports 5.1?
yes and i am having the same problem
How to rendering wrap to dcp with 5.1...
Thanks VideoRevealed University
Ha, ha... I like that!
Pitty that the Dolby-stuff have been ripped out of Premiere...... Thanks anyway for the video. Have to stuck with AAC :-(
Yep, it's really a bummer.
@@VideoRevealed I'm trying to burn a Blu-ray with Premiere Pro CC. I've selected H.264 (the Blu-ray preset didn't let me change the audio settings) with audio channels set to 5.1. However, it's AAC, and I'm using tsMUXER to create my .iso file (I've used Encore in the past, but I accidentally didn't export the file as 5.1 from Premiere). tsMUXER is saying AAC is not a Blu-ray compatible codec (or something similar). If they removed Dolby from Premiere, how do I burn Blu-ray discs in 5.1? Is there another codec I can download?
thanks man.
You're welcome.
Thanks sir. :D
You're welcome.
Nice
Thanks.
It's all Greek to me! I think if you would have demonstrated this using an actual project, with sound FX, dialogue and music, that would have been clearer. In another words, showing how all of this comes together in an actual film project, that would have made more sense.
Is this okay?

U may think this is a joke but believe me it is not. With the name Van Winkle not being very common, Next time you have a chance to speak with Mr. Van Winkle ask him if he had a relative named 'Rip' that served with the 410th Airborne Missile Maintenance Squander at K.I. Sawyer AFB Upper Michigan in 1966-67.
Okay, I'll ask him.

welldone grandpa now add subtitles in Spanish to all your videos and get more subscribers, Regards
I promise to pay for subtitles when this channel starts making enough money. In case you're wondering, it doesn't currently justify paying someone to create subtitles, especially for a free channel.
