![]() The duration, in milliseconds, of the fade down and fade up.Įach of these settings is based upon personal preference, there is no single setting that works for all audio and all stories. The amount, in dB, you want the ambience volume lowered (I’ll illustrate this below in the Multiple Clips section.) This determines how long a gap between clips needs to be before setting keyframes. This is why we first labeled the dialog clips, to make sure Premiere knows to which clips we want it to pay attention. NOTE: You can duck ambience against any labeled dialog, music, sound effects, ambience or unassigned audio clips. Then, in the Ducking section (about half-way down), make sure the Dialogue icon is selected in the Duck against category. Just as with Dialogue, this labels the ambience clips. With all the ambience clips selected, go to the Essential Sound panel and click the Ambience button. Simply select ALL the clips you want to adjust and they will all have keyframes applied based on the labeled clips above, or below, them. NOTE: While this example uses only one ambience clip, the process is the same for multiple clips. ![]() Why? Because we are adjusting the level of the ambience clips to make the dialog easier to hear. To see how this works, select all ambience clips that are placed below dialog. After that, Premiere remembers it.Ī new feature in the Spring 2019 release now supports auto-ducking of ambience clips, as well as music. NOTE: Clips can only have one label – and you only need to label a clip once. With all the dialog (or narration) clips selected, click the Dialogue button in the Essential Sound panel. For example, selecting all the narration clips. Next, in the timeline, select all the dialog clips or whatever clips you want to use as the source for adjusting the volume of other clips. The easiest way to do this is click the Audio workspace at the top of the interface. To get started, display the Essential Sound panel. NOTE: Clip colors can be changed by right-clicking the clip and choosing a color from the Label option in the pop-up menu. In this example, I’ve created a simple sequence consisting of dialog (blue), ambience (magenta) and music (green). If you create the perfect mix, then decide to move clips around you’ve wasted a lot of time. While you can make these audio adjustments at any time, it is generally a good idea to get your dialog/narration tracks pretty well set before adjusting the audio. Very cool. Here’s how this feature works. Even better, they can be modified at anytime thereafter to precisely tweak your mix.Īll the benefits of automation with the ability manually tweak. Now, the keyframes are added and adjusted automatically, according to values that you set. What makes this an important feature is that setting volume is a very time-consuming process of adding and adjusting keyframes. Now, in the Spring 2019 update, we can also add them to ambience. In recent updates to both Adobe Audition and Premiere, we can add these keyframes automatically to music. In the past, we would do this manually by adding keyframes to the volume setting of a clip. ![]() The classic example of this is lowering the volume of background music so you can hear the dialog. “Ducking” is the process of lowering the volume of audio clips, or an entire track, so that you can hear the audio in a different track.
