I am able to correctly route and map channels in Premiere and audition, that really isn't the problem. The issue arises in how Voukoder assigns the channels upon export. After doing some extensive testing with exporting several different configurations I realized Voukoder no matter what exports the channel scheme as you mentioned above L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs. It does not matter how you arrange your tracks on the timeline Voukoder will export it this way. Perhaps this information will help some poor soul having the same issues I was having.

But this works for me wonderfully now and sounds great on my surround sound system using Plex for playback. 2 small details to point out that may save someone the same headaches I had. In Premiere itself before you open the Voukoder tab make sure in the audio tab that audio is set to 5.1 as you mentioned above. And within Voukoder select AAC (FFMPEG) audio and within the options make sure you select "low complexity" I kept having problems when the profile was set to main or anything else but once I tried low complexity it worked like a charm.

The other little detail is Premiere and Voukoder only allow a 5.1 export. So what do you do with a 7.1 mix? Well all I did was take those alternate left and right surround channels and routed them to the main left and right surround channels. I tested it out and it worked just fine. I could hear both mixed properly.

First of all thank you, this is by far the best solution I've found yet for exporting HDR out of Premiere. Is this process still current as of now? The reason I ask is although my picture quality looks much much better it seems like the colors are almost TOO saturated.

Just to give you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish, I basically take in 4k bluray remuxes from discs I own into Premiere 2020 to make edits and then export back out to stream on Plex. Plex will play HDR content just fine. When I use this method Plex recognizes it as HDR and says so in the file data. So it seems like it's mostly working but I just can't seem to figure out why the color saturation is so high. The reds especially seem to be pumped up. It may have something to do with Plex's and VLC's tonemapping as well but I'm not sure. When I open in windows media player it displays the dull HDR image you're used to on a rec709 monitor. Just wondering if you've dealt with this at all and if there was a parameter that controlled saturation.

Also if you want to apply your preset to the entire clip and proceed to make multiple edits you can simply drop it in the Master tab within the Effects Controls tab and it will apply it across every instance of that clip. Thanks again, this is amazing.

Hey thanks so much for responding. To give better clarity into what I'm actually doing, I am digitizing films I own and editing them to be able to watch them with my children. Sometimes removing a scene here and some language there makes all the difference. So I am bringing the remux'ed versions of 4k blurays with the audio converted from DTS to PCM 7.1 for premiere to read it. With the extra 2 channels I suppose I could merge those into the left and and right surround channels tht already exist. My question though is normally in premiere for example if you exporting via quicktime and not using the voukoder plugin you can tell the export what order the tracks correspond to what channels like in the screenshot I attached, but you cannot do this once you select voukoder. So what channel mapping order is voukoder using? How do I know what I have as the center channel in my premiere timeline isn't going to the left channel for example in my final export?

Is there a way to export a video clip with 5.1 or 7.1 audio from Premiere using the Voukoder plugin? How do you map the audio channels?
