Fill left/right filter

Can you fill in all the non-Premiere people what the heck that is?

I have no clue what you mean.

Short answer is no.

When I do interviewl stuff like this I lay both tracks down and keyframe and trim as much as I can. Any gaps between the two are filled with room tone recorded earlier.

Honestly, I'd rather keep full control over my audio than to want something else doing it for me. I can see where this might be handy (if I understand what you really mean) to get something done quickly, but again... I don't want something else deciding what fills the gaps created by the first set of edits.

You can control this with the audio clip's PAN setting.

I don't have or know premiere, so apologies if I've got this wrong, but from what I understand you have a left audio channel with one voice on it and a right channel with the other voice on it, and you want to copy the left channel to the right for certain sections and vice versa?

Assuming that you have razored in cut points to define where you wanted to do your 'fill left/right' if you were in premiere, can you not just separate these channels from being a stereo pair (with alt-L), centre the pan for the clips (with ctrl-.), then delete the channel you don't want for each section?

You can select the entire interview at once to separate the channels and centre the pan, so depending on the length of interview it shouldn't take any/much longer to delete the channel you don't need for each section, and the results should be comparable. i.e. a mono track with the pan centred plays the same through both left and right speakers.

Not quite what you wanted, but I hope this is of some use...

Uncouple the stereo paring, then raise and lower the desired/unwanted audio track, panning as appropriate to maintain a balance across the channels.
