I need help with audio in my Premiere Pro edit

I recently recorded a gameplay with a song track in it. In the beginning of my video, i did a voiceover explaining what the video was going to be about. When im talking, i want to lower the song, then raise the volume when im done talking. How can i do this? If i need to be more specific let me know. Thanks!

OK, assuming that the gameplay audio with the song is on audio track one and the voiceover is on audio track two.
All you have to do is to keyframe track one to lower the volume while you are talking and raise it bak to normal when you finish speaking. It is pretty simple.

  • Need help with audio...

    Hi,
    I need some help with an audio issue...a deep, buzzing sound which is so dominant, i can barely hear the rest
    the situation:
    older VHS tape (about 10 years) - i know some of you just cringed the video quality isn't the greatest, but not the worst. the audio is terrible.
    transferred with my canopus av300 to my mac (g4 d1.25) - no issues
    using FCP 4.5
    i tried the AUGraphicEQ and since it was so deep, i reduced the following to 0:
    800
    6300
    8000
    reducing anything else doesn't seem to work
    i've also tried cleaning in soundsoap both before using the AUGraphicEQ and after. If i clean it with SSoap before AUGraphicEQ, it sounds far better than the original track, but a low buzz is still present. using the EQ again doesn't seem to do much.
    the camerawork was done on a tripod about 30 yds back. no mikes were used either. just the camera capturing both a/v.
    Any thoughts on anything else to try? Any other filters? I fear the buzz is just with the main sound and no chance of completely killing it.
    I can email someone a small sample file for them to play with if you like.
    i'm really at my wits end b/c i would like to ensure i give the client as best i can (the other option would be to send the tape to a colleague's audio expert, but the price is something my client doesn't want to pay
    Cheers,
    Keebler

    Got SoundTrack Pro? It will perform miracles with getting rid of unwanted sound. It's a matter of isolalating a few frames of the sound where no one is talking, and then using a simple command to remove that sound by itself from the entire audio track.
    There is a possibilty that the Hum remover in FCP 4.5 might help...

  • I need help with audio!!!!

    I am creating a "movie" on iMovie. It's more like a slideshow. I have a song attached but for some reason the song cuts of at a certain time. I checked in clip trimmer, and it just goes silent. I know the song I have is a complete version. I have tried re-starting, downloading a different version, but nothing works. Help?

  • Need help with audio transfer!

    I'm having problems with audio in idvd. The problem is with clips that were pasted into an imovie project from a different imovie project. The idvd preview seemed fine, but when I burned my disk, the audio associated with the pasted clips was inaudible. The same problem occurred with clips that I had "shared" as a quicktime movie and then imported into idvd. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm a total amateur!

  • Help with export/import in premiere pro

    Hi Everyone
    I have a question about import and export in Premiere Pro CS5.
    I have some 1920*1080 .mov-files shot with canon eos 500d.
    What is the best import setting for premiere pro cs5?
    What is the best export setting from premiere pro (to adobe encore) to dvd?
    The film is going to be projected on to a big screen. How do I get the best quality for this?
    I would be very very thankful for your help!
    Tami

    check your paused and/or playback resolution settings...
    I've found TIFF to be the cleanest output from PPT for inclusion in video, and I've also found that the scale to frame size command usually works pretty well within Premiere. However, Photoshop's scaler uses much better algorithms and will give you a much better result. You can do a batch process on all your files and automatically create smaller versions of them if you'd like. Alternatively, you can open PPT and customize the size of your PPT slide, which should scale everything to fit your new size. Then you'll have native 720x480 TIFFs on export from PPT.

  • Help with importing images in Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hi all... I'm working on a widescreen ntsc project that mixes video footage with power point slides, which have been exported to BMP, JPEG, PNG and TIFF... when I look at the images in an external image viewer, they look great... when I import them and drag them in the timeline in Premiere Pro, they look terrible.  The text looks bad.
    Since the dimensions of the power point slides are 960x720, I have used the scaler in Premier, and I've also resized them in an external graphics program to about 720x480, but to no avail.
    The vexing thing is, I gave a sample full sized slide and footage to a colleague, and he just dragged the slide into the timeline, resized it to the right size and the text is crystal clear.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Need Laptop Recommendation - best for Adobe Premiere Pro editing

    I am in the process of looking for a new laptop and need recommendations based on how I will use the laptop.  I produce video and mainly use the following programs: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro CS2, Adobe Encore DVD.  I also use other photo editing software such as AutoFX PGE7.0.
    I currently have an HP Pavilion which is about 5 years old.  This desktop has the following specs:
    HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600, Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.20 GHz, 2GB of RAM
    I believe that with a new laptop, I could create my videos more efficiently.  If you have any input as to what I need in a laptop for my specific purposes, please let me know.
    Thanks so much,
    Angela

    Harm,
    Thank you for your response.  I have yet to buy the new computer but will be doing so in the next couple of days.  I read the links you provided, and another thread which discussed the performance of a laptop vs a desktop.  I have changed my mind and will be purchasing a desktop.  I need advice concerning this purchase, but will start a new discussion to do so.
    Thanks so much,
    Angela

  • Need help with audio portion of iDVD

    I have added a playlist from iTunes to a slideshow. When I play it on slideshow, all music in the slideshow is played. However, when I export to iDVD and play back the slideshow, only the first song plays. The rest of the slideshow has no music playing once the first song ends. Help! Thank you!

    Hi jMoose and welcome to the forums!
    My bet is that the audio tracks that won't transfer to iDVD are purchased tracks in iTunes rather than from your own CDs?
    If so what you are up against is DRM copy protection. The workaround is to burn a CD in iTunes of those tracks you need, then re-import them from that CD into iTunes and save them as AIFF files.
    Then iDVD will use them with a smile!

  • Need help with audio on button ASAP THANKS!

    Hi,
    Using CS3 I added via properties audio to the "over" part of a gold button.  The audio I added is 4Mb in size which I had imported to the library.  When I selected "over" on the button and then using properties assigned the audio file .... the wave form appeared ... but not under "over" but over, down and hit.  Thus when I publish what is happening is the page loads fine ... the audio begins to play on roll over as wanted ...
    HERES THE GLITCH:  if you accidently roll over again a new audio begins to play out of sync with the first one ... basically you get the row, row row your boat effect where each roll over audio is delayed.
    MY FAILED SOLUTION:  I tried to move the audio file and assign it via properties under hit. Thus have to have someone click on the sound.  Yet the same outcome happend where the wave form appeared not just under hit but it showed on over, down and hit. The same thing happened when I tried assigning to "down".
    MY QUESTIONS:
    Is this caused by the sound file being too big?  I tried a small audio beed and it would assign directly under the part I assigned but not with the bigger 4MB audio file.
    If it is the size of the sound file, can I link the button to an external audio file. If so, what code would I use if I am using Action Script 2.0. I am very new at action script.
    If it is not the size, could some one please tell me how to fix this glitch.  I would be satisfied with the button working on either over or hit.  If you wish to see what the button is doing, you can see it online at www.signaturehill.com.
    THANKS.

    Hi Erika,
    That might just be what I need ... but I am confused as to where do put the action code.  Can you help me with the following questions:
    1. Did you put it inside the button via actionscript or did you select the button just and ad it there ...  or somewhere else? Since I have several buttons doing the same thing on different pages, I am not sure where to put it.
    2. What was the exact code you used  ie  on (release)  {....   StopAllSounds(); }  .... did you even use "release" or some other mouse event.
    Please include the action script code I might try since I am very new to scripting. THANK YOU>
