10.5 Send Audio to Audition for Editing From Premiere Pro

[MUSIC] In this lesson, I'm gonna show you how to round trip your audio from Premiere to Adobe Audition and back to Premiere in a super seamless way. All right, so in the last lesson you learned about the essential sound panel. And I'm gonna go ahead and close this, because in this lesson I'm gonna show you how to get this whole project over to Adobe Audition to do some much more intensive audio work. Now I should say not every project needs to go to Adobe Audition to do more hardcore editing work. In fact, I almost never do that, but I know some folks are more comfortable using Adobe Audition for audio at the end of their projects and that's totally fine. I am of the mindset that you can get your mixes to sound just as good and do 95% of the things that you would do in Audition in Premiere without having to ever dealt with it. The advantage of doing that is that it leaves you flexible to make changes down the road, because when you go to Adobe Audition and you come back. And if you change anything in terms of where your clips are placed in your project, this sort of negates all the work that you did in Adobe Audition because you gonna have to go back and make tweaks again. So, for this process, you really need to be kind of at the end stage of your project, your edit is more or less lot. And if that's the case, let's get this project over to Adobe Audition. If we wanna get this whole sequence over to Adobe Audition, we can just come up here to Edit in Adobe Audition. If I had a single clip selected, we'd have the option to send a single clip over, but I'm gonna send the entire sequence over. And this is how it's going to work. It's gonna come up with a pop up window here. We can name this, I'm just gonna leave it at Ducks On A Boat 2 because that is the sequence that I'm working on. We can set a path for this and I've already created a folder in this Kickstarter video project folder and that works for me. We have a bunch of other options here for the selection whether we want to send the entire sequence or an in and out. How we want to send the video I would recommend sending it through dynamic link or not sending it. Exporting it through DV preview video is kind of an older way to do it. Audio handles this gives you the option to have a little bit extra on the beginning and end of each Audio clip that can be useful depending on your workflow. And then what to do with the audio clip effects you wanna transfer the settings. And the same for the audio track effects do you wanna transfer the settings, remove all or render clips with non transferable effects. If I had effects on these clips, most likely, all of them would transfer over fine. If I had audio track effects, they would also transfer over, unless you're using a third party effect that you do not have enabled in Adobe Audition. But by and large everything that you have in your premier project will transfer over. In fact, let's just take a look at another project, this is the same project right here. And in this case, I have effects, and some of them are third party effects. Things like this limiter number 6 here, this is not a stock effect. But if I go to Edit in Audition, I'll leave all these at their defaults and I click Okay, it says this directory already exists. We'll just override it, no problem. Now, unlike the old way to do this, it's not actually going to render and replace all of my audio inside Premier which I think is really handy. That always annoyed me, because it basically locks you into whatever you had in Premiere. And I don't like that, everything in Premiere remains untouched unless you need to render things out because you have effects that won't transfer over. So the cool thing about this and I actually did wanna show you this other project is that all of your settings in Premiere keyframes. Your crossfades, even check this out your effects if you don't have this toggled on here. Your track effects bottom bone, D reverb, D noise, dynamics processing even the scroll down here to the bottom. Our master buss effects loudness radar, limiter number six multiband compressor, they're all here. And all of the settings that we had in Premiere are in Audition. That is pretty cool. Right? >> [APPLAUSE] >> Thank you for that round of applause. You don't have to Clap for me. That's why you're clapping for Adobe. Like I mentioned before, if you wanna do work in Adobe Audition, right, maybe you wanna remix this. Check this out. In the essential sound panel, I just labeled this as music or tagged as music. I'll click on the Duration. Instead of this Stretch option as the only option I now have the Remix option. Now, again, I told you that it may not work for this clip cause this clip does not have a very definitive pulse in terms of its percussion, right? But for most things that have a very definitive pulse for you non musicians that's some kind of music track with some nice drums in it. [SOUND] It doesn't have to be house or techno it could be any style but something with a definitive pulse. This remix feature is awesome. It is very, very cool. So we can maybe shorten this down. And what you'll see is it'll put in some edits here and when you go and play over those edits. [MUSIC] Did you hear that? [LAUGH] It was seamless now to be fair, this part does have some percussion so, full credit. This worked pretty well. [MUSIC] I mean, wow, there's no way you could do that faster. So this remix feature is pretty awesome. It's yeah, I don't use Adobe Audition a tremendous amount if I'm honest because I can do almost everything in Premiere, including because I'm a musician I can mix and chop up my own audio. And I prefer to do it that way so that I get the chorus or I get the intro just where I want and I can reuse little parts here and there. I can do it in a way that makes sense to me musically. This remix feature is not gonna know that this is a more intimate part of the video and you want a softer part of the music there. However it can do a an incredible job of taking a music track and just making it shorter or making it longer, way better than you could do if you're not a pro musician that I can guarantee. But you can do all kinds of things in Adobe Premiere. You can analyze your audio you can fix if you have a clip like this that's particularly troublesome, you can double click on it, open it up in the waveform editor here. You can make adjustments to things like this selecting various parts of your audio fixing the level. You can also bring up this thing down at the bottom and look at the spectrogram or spectrograph view and you can select like some bird chirping sounds or maybe a dog barking in the background or something and get rid of it completely. So, you've got these options. You got the waveform editor, you have the multitrack editor. You have a lot more effect slots that you can do. So right now I have four effect slots and in Premiere I believe there's only five available. There's only been a handful of times when I've ever needed to use more than five. But it's really doubtful you're gonna use more than 16. If you use more than 16 effects, you need to reevaluate some things about what you're doing. Lots of stuff you can do in Audition, particularly one of the things that I love about Audition is the way that you can select clips and use this Crossfade dealio here. I think this is awesome the way that it crossfades and you can adjust the shape and the size, if you will of this crossfade and there's other options to make it asymmetrical or to make it linear. I think this is really cool. You can't do this in Premiere, so it's really great. Anyway, when you're done, save your project. All right, I'm gonna save this in that location that I set up there. Badaboom, it's saved. Now we need to export this. Now, you could just export a multi track mixdown just the stereo file, or you can export to Adobe Premiere Pro. When you do this, you also have some options. Now before I do that, I'm gonna go ahead and label which you might want to do, All of my audio tracks so that when they get exported, They will have the correct labels because if you leave them as their default, they're just gonna get exported as audio one, two, three and four, that may not be very helpful for you down the road. So, once again, just save this really quick but a boom good export. Export to Adobe Premiere Pro. We have some options down here we can mix down the entire session or we can export each track as a stem. I'm gonna make sure this open in Adobe Premiere Pro is selected and hit export. It's gonna say, actually, these are already there because I've done this previously and take 1, 2, 3 or 4 of this lesson, but I'm just gonna click ,Yes, it's going to overwrite those files. No big deal. All right, it's gonna do that and it's going to open up in Premiere Pro drumroll please. [SOUND] That was pretty fast. Now we get this dialogue box it says copy Adobe Audition tracks. Where do you want to put them? I'm gonna put them in new audio track. Check that out. There they are right there. All I need to do is mute my originals. >> Hi, everyone, my name is Nate ransom. And I wanted to tell you about a project that my brother in law Chris and I have been working on for the past several months. The project is a children's book that we've titled Ducks on a Boat. >> So just like that, we can get this mixed. In Audition, we can pull it back into Adobe Premiere Pro. Now, here's the thing. If we need to go back and make adjustments, let's say that we don't like something happening in the mix here. We can remix it a little bit in Premiere, but if we want to go back and do something in audition, all we need to do is right click on any one of these files and then just edit original. Now I know you would think that you might want to edit clip in Audition, but if you choose Edit original it's going to reopen that Adobe Audition file instead of just importing that one clip into Adobe Audition. And you can make your changes and you can re export just like you did before. So we'll just export to Adobe Premiere Pro, and I'll leave everything exactly the same except this time I am not going to open in Premiere Pro, I'm just going to click Export. It's gonna ask me if I want to overwrite the files. And I do because just imagine that I've made some changes here. And I click Yes, and it's going to overwrite those files. And if you watch right down here, see that? They just updated. And so now those files have been overwritten and you don't have to worry about dealing with more files that have been imported. If I left that checkbox open in Premiere Pro and I didn't overwrite the files or even if I did, it would still reimport them into the project here. And then I would have a duplicate set of files audio files with the same names it becomes confusing. So as long as you deselect that Open in Premiere Pro and you overwrite the files it essentially just overwrites these tracks right here in it updates in Premiere Pro. Now the nice thing about exporting stems as opposed to exporting a full mix is that you can leave your master buss effects on the things that are going to adjust your overall loudness of your entire mix and take care of your limiting and things of that nature. It did bake in all of my track effects when I exported those stems. So all of the track effects the things that I had on like D noise and D reverb, all of those effects are applied, which is fine. I don't need to reapply them in Premiere here. So all of that stuff is baked into these tracks now. And the only thing that i really need to do is make sure that I have some limiting and things of that nature on my master buss, and I'm good to go. So it's a really seamless way to get in and out of Adobe Audition. I will say really quick before we wrap this lesson up, you can also import a file in audition and instead of just like a WAV or something you can actually just pick your Premiere project and you can open up your sequence in a similar way that we sent this project all over to Audition. You can just open the project directly an Audition and do the same process to get it back inside of Premier. Really simple, really easy and I hope that you found that useful. All right, coming up in the next lesson. I'm gonna show you how to utilize some of the new audio effects that you can find in Premiere Pro to do almost everything that you'll need to do in terms of audio mixing, it's really great. So check that out coming up next. [MUSIC]
