Adobe Express: Audio effects and dynamics in Adobe Premiere Pro

Demo summary

Mike imports a clip into Premiere Pro and demonstrates how to apply the Dynamics effect to a speech track to access compressor settings.

Step-by-step

  1. Drag and drop your video file into Adobe Premiere Pro
  2. Drag the clip into a sequence
  3. Open the Effects library and navigate to Audio Effects
  4. Select Amplitude and Compression
  5. Drag and drop the Dynamics effect onto the speech track
  6. Go to Effect Controls and click Edit to open the compressor settings

Options

  • Right-click and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition for spectral frequency view

Watch out for

  • Technical knowledge is required for importing media and creating sequences
  • Spectral frequency view (to isolate specific sounds like birds) requires exporting to Adobe Audition

Tips

  • Use the Dynamics effect to access familiar compressor ratios and thresholds directly within Premiere

Highlights

that's a lot of hassle. There's got to be a simpler way.
