With Adobe Audition CS5.5 making its way back into the suite
and now available on both Mac and Windows, you now have more power,
more flexibility, and incredible control over your audio inside your
Premiere Pro sequences. So what we have here is we've been working on this scene
and want to effectively send all of this content to Audition
so we can begin leveraging some of its incredible editing tools,
mastering tools, and noise-reduction capabilities--maybe even add
some music and do some additional things and then send it all back to Premiere.
So we have a new method of doing this. It's very simple, and I'm going to
show you how we can literally drag-select all the clips in Premiere,
send it all to Audition, work on it, and send it back very fluidly.
So from within the Premiere interface, I'm going to select all of my clips,
go up to the Edit menu, and choose Edit in Audition Sequence.
Now when you do that it's going to bring up this dialog, and you can see that we have
lots of different options here. Whether we want to do the entire sequence
or the work area, we're going to export a preview video.
So this is going to take all of the video content inside the sequence
and effectively create one single compiled video track that you can use for reference
inside the Audition interface.
You then have the ability to render audio clip effects, send clip volume
key frame metadata, and then, of course, open this entire thing in Audition.
Well, I've already gone ahead and done that for you,
so if we bounce over to Audition, now you can see that the same project
with the same track names and the same individual audio clips
live inside Audition's interface.
[audio sounds from clip]
Well, you can, in fact.
So what we want to do is begin tweaking some of the dialogue here
and, as I mentioned, maybe adding some music.
Now Audition has lots of power and incredible flexibility,
and we have two unique views when working inside of Audition,
the multitrack view and the waveform view.
If we want to individually process files, we can of course tackle that
by going into the waveform view.
And it's as simple as taking one of these clips, double-clicking on it,
and it will bring you into the waveform editor here.
[sounds from video clip]
So if we wanted to make a very simple change like just increase
the overall volume, we can use our on-clip volume controls--like this--
increase the volume, and the change is applied.
We can go back to our multitrack, and again we can begin rebalancing
some of these changes. We can do this to multiple clips.
We can even batch process these clips, but we'll save that for later.
The other thing that I want to do here, though, before I send it back
to Premiere Pro, is actually add some music so I have the reference of music
to watch inside Premiere Pro's interface.
So if I scroll down, you can see that I have some music selected here.
I can drop this into a new track. We can play this back.
[sounds from video clip]
So if we need to make some very simple changes to this,
we can go into our mixer. And you can see that on our music track here,
I can just drop the audio volume down a bit,
[sounds from video clip]
Okay. So that's at a pretty good level. So at this point I'm ready to
send all this back to Premiere Pro.
So if I bounce over to Premiere, the first thing I need to do is actually
select a blank sequence, which actually has a video reference already present.
From here, I can then go over to Audition. We can go up to Multitrack,
Export to Adobe Premiere Pro, and here's where we have a whole series
of options of how we want this audio, this new audio, to reappear inside the interface.
We can either export each track as a stem,
or we have the option to mix down the session to mono files, stereo files, or
a mixed 5.1, also known as an interleaved 5.1 file.
Well, leveraging some of the power and the fast performance of Audition CS5.5,
I'm actually going to export each track as a stem, and this means that
all of those individual audio clips that live in a single track
will now be one audio track that is the entire duration of the video clip.
I'm going to choose Export each track as stem, open it in Premiere Pro,
click Export.
You can see that we have the status monitoring there, and before I can even finish
talking, it's done. It's exported a multitrack session that was approximately
one and a half minutes long.
Let's go ahead and insert it here. Done.
That's it. It's all here.
So fast. Bouncing takes time, doesn't it?
Doesn't it usually take real time to bounce a one-and-a-half-minute song?
Shouldn't it take one and a half minutes? No.
That's the incredible speed of Audition CS5.5.
So now we have all of our audio content back in Premiere Pro, let's go
scrub ahead and just listen to where we've added some of that music.
[sounds from video clip]
Yes, you can. So now it's easier than ever to send all of your audio
content with a video reference over to Audition CS5.5, make your changes
leveraging all of the incredible effects and mastering processes that we have,
the noise-reduction processes, tweak your audio, send it back to Premiere Pro
either as stems, mono, stereo, or 5.1 files, and continue working.
Absolutely brilliant, and the best part, of course, that you can do this on Mac and Windows.
