A Digital Video Primer
When you import or capture a video clip that contains audio, the audio and video tracks are
linked by default, so that they move together in order to maintain sync. When you edit or move
a video clip linked to an audio clip, the changes apply to both the audio and video. However,
there are situations when you may want to work with the audio and video as separate clips. en
you can unlink the tracks, make your separate edits, and then relink the clips if you want. For
example, you can unlink clips to create an L-cut.
You can process an audio clip in several ways: choose a menu command for a selected clip, apply
an audio eect, or adjust volume and pan/balance levels either directly in the timeline or by using
the Audio Mixer. e Adobe Premiere Pro Audio Mixer supports many features. Use the Audio
Mixer to capture audio directly to the timeline. For example, you can record live professional
voiceovers to the timeline as it plays back or record notes about an edit sequence as you watch it.
Adobe Premiere Pro automatically records the voiceover live as the video plays and inserts a new
clip on the specied track.
Advanced audio post-production
Adobe Premiere Pro is primarily a video editing application. When your production requires
more advanced audio editing and processing, you can hand-o the audio to Adobe Audition,
which specializes in audio production. Adobe Audition includes support for the Edit Original
command found in both Aer Eects and Adobe Premiere Pro. When working in either of those
programs, select an audio le or clip in your project and use the Edit Original command to open
either that single le or the entire session that created it in Adobe Audition. e process is seam-
less, with Adobe Premiere Pro taking care of all the necessary le management.
The integrated wave editing view in Adobe Audition means you don’t need to leave the application for any of
your digital audio tests.
Adobe Audition is comprehensive and versatile enough to satisfy the demands of broadcast
sound engineers and professional musicians, but intuitive enough for anyone to grasp. Adobe
Audition can be thought of as a professional multitrack recording studio on a computer, which
means you can record, play, edit, process, and mix multiple tracks of audio with the same high
level of quality you would expect in a professional studio. To build a complete studio, you can
add multichannel audio hardware to your computer, microphones and a studio space. en you
can sweeten your video with musical underscores, music beds, foley eects, and replace and
synchronize dialogue.
Adobe Audition
Lets you create and mix audio in a professional multi-
track recording studio environment while watching
your video.
