How to Download and Use 6 Channel Video Files for Edits
Hey, guys! Welcome back to my channel! Today, I'm going to show You how to download and use 6 channel video files for movie and TV show edits, as well as other types of YouTube videos. But first, let's understand what 6 channel audio is and how to use it.
Understanding 6 Channel Audio
Most movies nowadays have multiple audio channels that are mixed together using surround sound technology. If there are only left and right channels, it's called stereo audio, also known as 2 channel. On the other HAND, 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound have multiple channels, typically 6 channels. These different channels or tracks contain various types of audio, including background music, ambient noises, and the main dialogue. The main dialogue is usually in the center channel, while the other channels include additional audio tracks.
Finding 6 Channel Audio Files
To use 6 channel video files, you first need to find files that have 6 channel audio. One way to find such files is through Instagram and Twitter accounts dedicated to sharing audio files for video editing. These accounts are usually private and primarily cater to editors. Don't worry, though, as the admins are quite nice and accept new members quickly. I'll link some of my favorite accounts in the description.
Downloading 6 Channel Audio Files
Once you've been accepted into the private accounts, scroll through their posts until you find a movie or TV show you want to download. Ensure that the file has 1080p and 6 channel audio Mentioned in the post description or title. If not, you can always ask the admins about it. When you've found the desired file, click on the Mega link provided in the post description. The file will open in a new tab, and all you have to do is click on "Standard Download." However, please note that you need a Mega account to download the file. Visit mega.nz to Create a free account. Free accounts have a limited amount of storage, so if you plan on downloading multiple files, you might need to spread them out over a few days.
Editing 6 Channel Audio Files
Now that you've completed the downloading process, you're ready to start editing. Editing a 6 channel file for a video is relatively easy, especially if you're using an NLE (Non-Linear Editing) software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas Pro, Davinci Resolve, or Wondershare Filmora. In this tutorial, I'll be using Adobe Premiere Pro as an example, but you can find online tutorials for your specific editor.
Modifying Audio Settings
To begin editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, import the downloaded file into your project. Before adding the file to the timeline, you can adjust the audio settings. Right-click the file and select "Modify," and then click on "Audio Channels." A new menu will pop up with options to change the clip's audio settings. If the file is 6 channel, you should see 6 different audio tracks and channels. However, if it's only 2 channel, there will be just a left and right channel. Since we only need the center channel for the main dialogue, we're going to change the clip's channel format from 5.1 to mono. Simply click the "C" box in the middle, representing the center channel. After making these changes, click "OK" to save them.
Selecting Specific Scenes
If you only want to include a specific scene in your video, you can double-click on the video file to view it in the source panel. Skim through the video and use the in and out buttons (or "I" and "O" on your keyboard) to select the desired scene. Once selected, insert the scene into the timeline, and you're all set!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use this method with 2 channel files?
A: No, this method specifically works for 6 channel files because it allows you to remove background music. However, if you find a 2 channel file with minimal background music, you can experiment with this method.
Q2: What if the tutorial doesn't work for me?
A: If you were using a 6 channel file in your editor and encountered problems, try going through the tutorial again step by step. If the issue persists, let me know, and we can discuss a solution.
Q3: How do I get rid of background music in 6 channel files?
A: Some 6 channel files may have background music mixed entirely into the center channel, while others might have lowered background music. In such cases, you can import another piece of audio, such as music, into the timeline. Lower the volume of the background music track, so it doesn't overpower the main dialogue.
Q4: What if the desired show or movie is not available on the Instagram or Twitter accounts?
A: The admins running these accounts mostly upload popular or new releases. It's a good idea to follow multiple different accounts to have a variety of options. You can also request a specific movie or show, but keep in mind that admins have strict rules about requesting due to their busy schedules.
Q5: Can I use Adobe After Effects or edit on my Android or Apple device?
A: Unfortunately, you cannot edit 6 channel files using Adobe After Effects, as it is primarily made for graphical and visual compositions. Additionally, as of now, there is no support for editing 6 channel files on Android or iOS devices. However, you can still use the Mega app to download movies and shows. Just remember that you can only edit 6 channel files on a computer.
