The audio ducking feature was one of my favorite things from Pinnacle Studios, which I used to use. Thanks for letting me know how two finally get it working on Premiere!
The audio ducking is called audio automation - if you use the pen tool (P) and then hold command (ctrl on pc) you can convert the points to bezier to have more natural curves in the automation. Another tip, holding shift and dragging while you have multiple points selected will allow you to move them all together horizontally or vertically with out moving the other way so you can easily drag your points to a different spot in the clip with out risk of changing the volume, or it will let you change the volume without risking moving the point left/ right (this works for one or multiple points at once). Also taking a still and adding scale/ motion is known as the Ken Burns effect.
Thank you, Justin. I've been watching your videos for years. They are by far the most helpful, the most clear, and offer the most value of any other editing videos out there. Truly, thank you!
Have you noticed the new version of Premiere crashing more often? Mine is crashing on Mac when I try to extend clips that have blending layers attached. It's made the program pretty much unusable unless I can figure out a workaround.
Cool stuff dude. Another powerful tip for Premiere and After FX users is to LEARN common shortcuts. Speeds up your process and actually makes editing fun, almost like playing an instrument when you’re in flow.
Dude the audio ducking was a game changer. I HATE keyframing audio and I am super used to working with DAW that allow me to add points just like you’ve shown. Since I’m new to video editing that was on my list of things to find. Thanks so much!
Jack Stolz - Just think of it as audio automation like any other. This one (premiere) happens to be clip based rather than timeline based though. I'd recommend experimenting with using the automation in combination with the drag and drop fades/ crossfades to give you more options. Also Justin doesn't mention this, but you can make many automation points by simply switching to the pen tool (P) so you don't have to keep holding command to make points then switch back to arrow with (V). Even further (since you're an audio person) if you hold command (ctrl on pc) while the pen tool is active you can convert existing automation points to bezier (curved) and drag the handles to create more natural sounding fades as you probably know from working with audio.
You can a get lot of these effects on various softwares but mixing sounds on Premiere Pro is on another level. It creates a big difference in your video quality.
Love it ! I love how you go straight to the point and demo it out for us. I think there's lot more to learn from you. But definitely will want to start improving on the sound design portion for my video. Thanks for the great content Justin!
Thank you for this! We are new to video editing and this really helped understand some of the capabilities within Premier Pro. My favorite was the sound dubbing. Thanks again!! Coming to your page from here on as we build our own.
very technical for me as a beginning beginner, BUT the ease in and ease out is something I can start using now as I incorporate photos in my video. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks so much Justin!! I have learned so much from your videos. In fact until watching this video, I have been cutting audio up with the razor tool and then cross fading it in order to get the ducking effect you just taught me about here.
Amazing amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing this, great quality and such valuable tips, I will start using them ASAP! I was looking for cool edits and tricks and I'm glad I found your channel, subscribed and eager to learn more :)
By following this tips, I think my video became more interesting and I can now let the viewers focus on the text rather than on the background. Thanks for this. It's very helpful!
5:00 Wow, just WOW~ thank you for this one, I didn't even know how to search this tip and just stumbled upon your video now and here's the answer 😢 thank you!!
Before I graduated in film school, we only had books and each year the softwares update frequently. So watching these even after school really helps sharpen my knowledge because the software is just so big and I would use 4-6 NLE. RU-vid barely had any tutorials for things like these so I am thankful people make these videos This channel is a really great start. Keep up the work.
Thank you so much!!! I have no idea what i'm doing. my videos are just so lame. So thank you for teaching in a way that actually made sense. I just started out. I don't have pro yet just elements, but other people are so confusing with their videos... SO THANK YOU!!! I hope you have more learning videos for me to check out!!
Hey, i found your video today and i applied all of your techniques to my todays project. Now i feel like a PRO :) Thanks and you deserve to be appreciated. I learnt a lot from this video. Ill be following you in future as well. Cheers !
Hi Justin. I am searching for ways to improve my travel videos, and I have seen a lot of different expects on youtube, that are telling me what to do. However I think some of them are wasting my time and talking and talking without making me smarter. So thanks for getting straight to the point, I have subscribed to your channel!
