Removing Echo (Audition via Premiere Pro CC)

I posted in the Premiere Pro forum, but it dawned on me that maybe Audition could help me fix this problem.  Here is my post from the other forum.
I'm not even sure this is considered an echo or if there is another technical term?
I am trying to put together some "Meet the Doctor" videos and we're using a lapel mic and the room were using has no sound deadening on the walls.  There is a slight each on in the audio and I'm not sure how to get rid of it?
You can hear the echo in this clip.

We have PP CC and Audition CC so we have the latest tools, but I can't find the right one to remove or lessen this audio defect.
Thanks for any help you can throw my way,
Dave

There's been a long discussion about this (and by long I mean it spans several Audition versions starting at CS and also spans several forum pages).  I warn you it also gets rather acrimonious at times.  You can view it here.

The long and short of it is that there's little you can do.  Some people claim that there's a 3rd party programme called RX3 that can help;  others (myself included) think the digital artifacts from that programme are more disturbing than the original echo.  Since the problem on your recording is very subtle, my personal advice is not to mess with it but others may (or possibly will) disagree.
However, although it's too late for this shoot, it's worth saying that you could have all but eliminated any issues by positioning your lav differently.  It's WAY too far down the lapel (it should be about half the distance from the mouth you have it) and, since the doctor is stood so as to speak slightly towards his left shoulder, the mic should either have been on the tie or on the left lapel.   Have a look at the positioning of lavs on programmes like Letterman--they may seem random but they're always closer to the mouth and biased towards the side the talent will be mainly talking.  It may seem simple but there's a bit of a skill to positioning clip on mics.

    Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

    OK, so you want to put it on your own web page. That's fine as long as you know how to create a web page.
    The next thing you have to decide is how big do you want the video to appear on the web page. Many people just post on YouTube and then embed the video into their web page. That way, the video can take advantage of all of the various sizes that YouTube provides.
    In any case, I suggest that you use H.264. But the data rate depends on the size of the file. If you are going to display it in HD, then you probably want to start at about 20Mb/s and go up or down from there. The required data rate depends on what you find acceptable, and that depends on the amount of movement in the video. For example, a talking head next to a white board explaining something requires a lot less bits to represent the image because less changes are taking place from frame to frame. If you use 10Mb/s for that, you might find 20Mb/s or more is required to make you happy if you shot a football game from the sidelines.
    I generally use settings that look like this image. If you have any questions as to why I choose these settings, feel free to ask.

  • Export .wav with markers from Audition into Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hi,
    I need help in getting a multitrack mixdown with markers from Audition into Premiere.
    This is what I have:
    An Audition CS5.5 multitrack session with lots of markers
    This is what I did to export:
    Audition > File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session > .wav & "include markers and other metadata"
    When I import that .wav in Premiere Pro there are no markers, neither in the source monitor, nor in the sequence.
    When I import it into After Effects, all markers are there. Unfortunately, this does not help me in my editing in Premiere.
    Is there any workaround for that? A direkt export from Audition via
    Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro
    did not help either.
    There is a thread on this in Soundtbooth (sorry for posting there, too) where it is stated that it should work in Premiere, too:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3908899#3908899
    Please help, regards,
    Andreas

    Hi Tim,
    first of all, thank you for your help.
    I also just filed a bug report, as you suggested.
    Now let me share the results of checking out the workaround that you suggested:
    1. Export to Premiere Pro via "Mulitrack menu > Export to Adobe Premiere Pro"
    I had tried that before and found it not working. This was a partial mistake. What I mean by that is, when you do that, the exported .wav files get automatically added to the sequence timeline. And do not show markers. BUT, what I overlooked was, that there is a sequence created alongside which resides in the project panel. This sequence does in fact include the markers, as sequence markers.
    Now comes the bitter part: When I delete the automatically added .wav from the timeline and replace it with said sequence, the markers are treated as clip markers. By contrast to After Effects, in Premiere Pro clip markers do not contain any text / names. I.e. all metadata is lost except the mere fact of anonymous markers on the timeline.
    2. Export to Premiere Pro via " File menu > Export > FCP XML Interchange Format"
    Same as above. Except, that I had not tried that before. What I had tried before was ...
    3. Export via " File menu > Export > OMF"
    Interestingly, this cannot be imported in Premiere Pro at all. Could this be another bug?
    Comment:
    I really hope that the markers export/import gets fixed soon.
    I also wished, that clip markers in Premiere Pro would be as intelligent as in After Effects (naming, updating, showing their text clearly in the timeline)
    I also wished that sequence markers would be as intelligent as comp markers in After Effects in showing their text clearly in the timeline.
    ... but thats a lot of wishing going on
    Kind regards,
    Andreas

  • Can't export clips or sequences to Audition from Premiere Pro cc 2014.2

    I can't get audio tracks or anything to export to audition. If I right click on them the option is grayed out and if I go to the clip menu and select "edit in adobe audition" the "clip" is grayed out and if I choose sequence it opens a dialog box that will not let me click the box "open in adobe audition".
    I am watching a how to video but my program will not function as shown in video.

    I uninstalled Audition and reinstalled it. I read that it should be installed after premier pro cc. That restored the grayed out links. good, but now other problem.
    Now the new issue is the export to premiere from Audition is greyed out.
    I will try and get this make sense...
    I installed premiere cs6 two days ago to get Encore for dvd burning and menus. After the uninstall/reinstall of audition just now I ran a check on the link and got stuff from premiere cc 2014 to launch into audition, but when I checked how to send it back to premiere pro cc 2014 when I went to export to premiere (and was able to check the open in Premiere box) it launched cs6, but I want it to go to my premiere cc 2014
    So I uninstalled cs6 only leaving encore, now the box to send it to premiere is unable to be checked.
    I tried another fresh install of audition, but the box is still unable to be checked.
    I need help - been up all night and having a rough time here.

  • Removing skin shine in Premiere Pro CS3

    Are there any suggestions for removing shiny skin highlights in Premiere Pro, or After Effects?
    Thank you

    You can try using an effect like "Luma Curve" to tweak the highlights a bit, possibly recovering some not-quite-blown-out levels between 235 and 255 (superwhites). Most other colro correction filters in Premiere are RGB, so they'll clip these values before you even start making adjustments.
    To my knowledge, Luma Curve, Fast Color Corrector, and 3 way color corrector are the only ones that work in YUV and that will preserve these levels.

  • Bad Header error importing Audio from Audition to Premiere Pro

    Hey guys,
    I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing a problem like this below, but recently, I have been up in arms trying to export a 90-minute feature film's audio (Ch. 1=Dialogue - Ch. 2=M+E - 5.1 Surround Mix) in a .wav file format, and every time I try to export it out, it PLAYS in Quicktime player, but it WON'T import into Premiere Pro (citing BAD HEADER ERROR) in file.  I basically tried to utilize every file format there is for audio and such, but nothing is working (including .aif, but it kept cutting out at 13mins into the show).  I separated the dialogue music and sfx in 3 submixes, but I needed to combine the Music and Submix into 1 submix to have ONE DIALOGUE Submix, and ONE M+E submix for our distributors.  Any help to fix this would be great. 

    Paul,
    Sorry to hear about the PC -> Mac problem. Old 6.5 Mac Project opened fine in CS2 PC, after I added the file extensions.
    As for the AVI, Curt is correct. There should be a utility for the Mac, like G-Spot, which will tell you everything about your AVI file. Unfortunatly, I do not know if G-Spot is ported for the Mac (www.headbands.com/gspot), so you might need to find similar for you platform. You can then identify the necessary CODEC and install it.
    Last, you should be able to find an edit-shop that has CS3 on PC and get them to Import the old Project, then Export it in CS3, so you can open it on your Mac. If not a commercial shop, then maybe a friend with CS3 on PC? Next best thing might be to find a Mac with Premiere 6/6.5 (last Mac version, prior to CS3 ?) and try that route.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Why doesn't Audition open when I click 'Edit Clip in Adobe Audition' in Premiere Pro CC2014?

    I have been reading up on this issue and it seems like I am not the only one that this has happened to since Adobe released CC2014. The button is NOT greyed-out, just doesn't function the way it did in the original CC version; it creates an extracted file but does not send it to open with Audition and I have to manually locate the file and open it in order to edit the file.
    I have already made sure that the .sesx file is set to use Adobe Audition by default but did not resolve it. Please let me know if you have a fix for this. Thanks!

    Hi OB,
    Menu > Pages > Preferences > General
    Times New Roman is one of my Custom Templates in Template Chooser.
    Those settings give me that template when I launch Pages 5, also with Menu > File > New (command n).
    Anything different about your set up?
    Regards,
    Ian.
    Edit: BTW, with those preferences, New From Template Chooser no longer shows under the File Menu. Hold down the option key to see it. Ian.

  • Audition cue marks to Premiere Pro

    Any one  got a method ( or another idea)  for a way that I can  take my cue marks from Audition to Premiere Pro.
    The Audition audio track is a guide track only and it wont hurt if it has a beep or a click at the cue points.  (7 cue sections).
    I only need to reference the in point but both points are fine also.
    The reference points will be transfered to the PRPro Sequence as markers in the timeline.
    (I know I can manually type in the TCs and set markers  if need be.)

    Hi,
    I have the same problem to import files from audition. It save the work in .xml what I can load in premiere but automaticly it will not work.

  • Premiere Pro CC multi camera sync

    I have a problem here: When trying to create a multi-camera-source file. I have two cameras, with audio from the camera and a .wav file from my zoom recorder. The .wav file has been adjusted in Audition CS6  
    Premiere pro cc sync's all the camera audio and video just fine,  it creates a multi-camera-source nested file , but the .wav file from my zoom is out of sync despite there being a 'very' audible hand-clap on all the tracks ...
    This would be a great feature if it worked.
    Any ideas why this might happen and any ideas for solutions.

    HI Mark,
    Hope you don't mind me bringing this up here but I also had an issue with Syncing clips with new multicam feature. Mine was slightly different though in that often we film with two cameras and a Zoom H4N recording audio.
    Often we will stop and start the cameras but then sync using audio waveform with the always recording zoom H4N. In Plural Eyes this would sync great and all the camera shots would stay in one video track in the timeline (i.e. the one assigned to that camera). However, using Adobe Sync option it made a new video track for each shot from each camera!! I had about 40 new video tracks to sort through and the sync hadn't worked.
    Is there a way to enable all the shots from one camera to stay on the one track when syncing via Adobe?
    Cheers for any help.
    Best wishes,
    Alex

  • Why can't Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 Time remap Audio and Video together?

    In case you didn't notice, my question is WHY.  I don't know why Premiere Pro can't do this.  From what I understand at the moment, the only way to time-remap audio in any way shape or form using Adobe software is through Adobe After Effects, which my computer has absolutely no chance of running ever.  I know how to do regular stretching of audio in both Audition and Premiere Pro, but apparently I can't time-remap audio using either of these programs.
    So why can't Adobe Premiere Pro time remap audio along with the video?  What's the reason that it can't?  It's a massive disappointment and would be very impressive to see accomplished in the future.  If it's possible to time remap audio and video together in After Effects, that's great and all, except for the fact that I can't use that program.  Why can't it be done in Premiere Pro and will it ever be possible in Premiere Pro?
    Also, will time remapping audio become possible in Audition someday?

    That sounds like a great idea.  File a Feature Request:

  • Color and contrast different from Premiere Pro 2 DVD creation

    I found after creating DVD's via Premiere Pro 2 are more saturated and more neutral in color vs encoding through Encore.
    I made a si8de by side test, converted them back to AVI and grabbed the same still of each. The Encore still was lower in contrast (flatter) and a slight bit warmer. over all the DVD compression from PP2 gives a richer look. If you are a film maker or photographer this matters a lot, but not for most users.
    the file sizes from premiere are bigger. for example a 8mbs from a 7:30 avi compression on premiere resulted in 544mb while a 9.4 compression via encore 2 resulted in 464 mb. when changing the mbs from 8-9.4 mbs it resulted in exactly the same size file 464mb. even when starting a new project, which means that there might be a bug and encoding on a unknown predetermined mbs, probably 7. This would explain the flatter look of the Encore 2 compression.
    Does anyone know how to find out at what rate a dvd has been encoded after it's done? knowing that there isn't any difference in the file size between 8mbs and 9.4 mbs shows that there must be a problem.
    This test was done with the Encore DVD 2 trial version. I have vs 1.51 as well and will make a test on this one as well. to see if there is the same problem.

    1. Can you detail your exact method, step-by-step, for both Premiere and Encore?
    encode encoded in premiere 2 at the highest level 9mbs (didn't chapter for a simple auto disk, this is disabled in pp2 but you can save as an mpg2 and import for chaptering in Encore2)
    2. Did you use the exact same source files for all tests, or just files that were the same duration?
    Exactly the same source file, when importing the mpg2 into premiere i simply imported each file in the timelime and saved exactly the frame of each mpg2. All this started when i first compared 2 encodings from a film directors reel where quality is crucial, and saw it immidiatly when playing the 2 different dvd's of the same reel on a DVD player (JVC) and Sony monitor.
    3. Be sure to include project settings and program preferences for both applications.
    encore 2 encoded at cbr 1x 9mbps (highest)
    Premiere 2 encoded at cbr 1x 8mbps (highest)
    when setting to 9mbps in PP2 I get the3 following warning:
    Total Video and audio bitrate (10.536 Mbs) exceeds maximum allowable bitrate (10.030 Mbps) for DVD type of muxing.
    So i reduced the bitrate to 8 and still got a file of 557mb and better color and contrast than Encore2.
    The final results of encoding in PP2 gives an identical DVD mpg as far as color and contrast to the original AVI.
    When encoding at the max rate of 9 in PP1.5 i never got this warning.
    I just repeated the above test on more time in PP2 and Encore DVD 2
    they must use a different codec for Encore2 than PP2.
    Besides the color and gamma shift the image size horizontally is a slight bit different (larger) than the one done with PP2, but not verically.
    you can also encode in PP2 save it as a multiplexed mpg2 file and than chapter it for the final dvd in encore2 which gives you the higher quality results of PP2.

  • Batch Processing doesn't update files in Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this question should be under 'Audition' or 'Premiere Pro', but I'm selecting a large range of audio clips (from a wedding ceremony) and sending to Audition from Premiere (selecting 'Edit in Adobe Audition')
    When the clips appear in the files section of Audition I select 'Batch Process', drop them in and make the batch process start. When everything is finished and the files are automatically saved, I head over to Premiere to see if the wav's have updated - but nothing. Everything is exactly the same.
    Any help would be great?
    I'm not adding any prefix's etc to the filename, and I'm selecting 'overwrite existing files' and 'same location as original files'.
    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Hi Durin,
    Sorry for the delay, had a couple of deadlines to meet and ended up doing the hundred-or-so clips one-by-one in audition to get it done.
    That's the issue exactly, I go back to Premiere after doing the batch process (and they all auto-save) but Premiere doesn't update the waveform or in fact the audio doesn't show the changes I've just made. The strange thing is that if I do them one by one, then Premiere recognizes the changes and I can get on with it.
    The steps I take are: 1) Drop the clip in the timeline, do a bunch of editing (occasionally nesting and multi-cam editing a sequence). 2) Right click and Edit in Audition 3) Open Batch Process in Audition 4) Drag drop all the files just sent to Audition from Premiere, into the Batch Process section 5) Run batch process 6) Go back to Premiere and see if it's updated in the timeline. I wait, and wait, but nothing. Everytime.
    I'm thinking it's something simple I've clicked, but have no idea what. Either that or it's some sort of bug issue.
    I will be upgrading to CS6 creative cloud soon, hopefully that'll fix it.
    If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, thanks for trying.
