Note: When capturing DV formats, Premiere Pro will use QuickTime as the container for the DV codec in Mac OS and
AVI is used for Windows. When capturing HDV, Premiere Pro will use MPEG as the format. For other formats, you must
use a video capture card for digitizing or capturing. See
on page 88.

Capture from stereo sources to mono tracks
You can capture from sources containing stereo or 5.1 audio channels so that each audio channel maps to its own
mono audio track automatically. The Mono Default Track Format preference enables this behavior for footage
captured from multi-channel sources, and for imported multi-channel files. For more information about audio
channel mapping, see "Mapping source and output audio
Select Edit > Preferences > Audio (Windows), or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio (Mac OS).
1
2 In the Source Channel Mapping pane of the Preferences dialog box, select Mono from the Default Track Format menu.
3 Click OK.
File size limits
Premiere Pro does not limit the size of files. However, your capture card, operating system, or hard disk can set such
a limit. Check your capture card and hard disk documentation for information on support of large files.
The format of your hard disk greatly affects its ability to handle large files. FAT32 formatting limits each file to 4 GB,
or about 18 minutes of DV footage. NTFS formatting does not limit file size. It is best to use NTFS-formatted disks as
the scratch disks where you capture video and for the target hard drives where you export video files. However, other
components of your video editing system can limit file size.
