Are you tired of your video sounding unprofessional?
Whether you're juggling multiple audio sources, struggling with inconsistent volume levels, or trying to make your speech clear, Adobe Premiere Pro has the solution.
I am Jay Espitia-Pierluissi, and I've been running a video production business for over five years, working with clients all around the world, as well as coaching other videographers on how to scale their business past $10,000 a month.
In this tutorial, we'll show you how to transform your audio tracks from noisy and disorganized to clean and professional using Adobe Premiere Pro.
Let's dive in and make your videos sound as amazing as they look.
First up, syncing audio from multiple sources.
Imagine you've recorded an audio separately on a lav mic and a camera mic, Premiere Pro makes this process seamless.
Here's how to do it.
First, select your video and audio clips in the Project panel.
Then right click and choose Merge Clips...
Use the Audio option to sync the clips automatically.
Now all your audio is perfectly in sync, saving you hours of manual alignment.
Now let's talk about auto leveling.
Consistent loudness across your clips is crucial for a professional sound.
Premiere Pro's loudness radar can help.
First go to the Essential Sound panel, go to Windows, then Essential Sound.
Click on the audio clip you want to edit, go to Loudness and then Auto-Match.
You can do this with all your clips.
This will ensure all your clips maintain a consistent volume level throughout.
No more sudden jumps or drops in audio levels.
Clear crisp dialog is essential.
Here's how to enhance speech in Premiere Pro.
Select the dialog track, with the auto tagging update, you can just click on the Dialog icon and the panel will automatically open.
Clip labeling is automatic in version 24.4 and newer.
Use the Enhance Speech slider to clean up the audio, reducing background noise and improving clarity.
Your speech will now cut through, clearly making it easy for your audience to understand every word.
Now let's talk about music, stock, remix and ducking.
Adding the right background music sets the tone for your video.
Premiere Pro offers a range of stock music options.
Go to Essential Sound and click on Browse.
Choose from a variety of tracks available and drag your selection to the Timeline.
Need to fit a music track to your video length?
Use the remix feature.
Select the music clip and go to the Essential Sound panel, adjust the Duration and Premiere Pro will intelligently edit the music to fit your desired length.
Finally, ducking ensures your dialog stands out even with background music.
Here's how.
Select your music track and navigate to the Essential Sound panel, enable Ducking and adjust the Sensitivity, reducing the music volume when dialog is present.
Now your background music will automatically lower during speech, ensuring clear and professional audio balance.
By mastering these audio techniques in Premiere Pro, you'll elevate your video production to a whole new level.
Syncing multiple audio sources, auto leveling, enhancing speech, and managing music tracks will become second nature.
Hope this was helpful.
Now let's make your video sound incredible.
