Good Morning guys,
is very frustrating that I cannot convert to prores file using the -c:a copy syntax

I'm creating some master files in DNxHD444 with some different audio tracks configuration... all in uncompressed format.

I'm trying to somply encode only video in prores.

i turned off video / audio options in the custom node and i'm using this string inside

i'm using this custom

-c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -r %f_frame_rate%

In this is working, but it creates a PRORES with AAC stereo file!


HELP!!!!!

Hi backlight,

If you know your source is uncompressed audio (PCM) you should be able to use "-c:a copy". If not you need to use "-c:a pcm_s16le" (for 16 bit, signed little endian). To make sure all source audio tracks follow you need to insert "-map 0" at the beginning of your command line. This will make sure all tracks are sent to the encoder.

-map 0 -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -r %f_frame_rate% -c:a copy (or -c:a pcm_s16le if your source is NOT PCM audio.)

Now it encode without errors... but it give me back a 2.0 stereo file.
It seems not to copy all the tracks on the file (6 different mono tracks)

This is the command line in custom FFmpeg node... Audio e video codec switched off

-map 0 -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -r %f_frame_rate% -c:a copy

It gives me back a stereo file, if I add the channel selection node it creates a 5.1 file starting from a 6 discreet channels input!
