Audio Editing

[00:00:00] points so it doesn't keep looping. Well,

[00:00:03] I want to put that transition

[00:00:04] everywhere, right? But I don't want to

[00:00:06] keep going to every single one of them

[00:00:08] and doing that little drag and

[00:00:11] transitioning and adding that little

[00:00:13] twoframe fade because it's going to take

[00:00:16] me a really long time. So, here's what I

[00:00:18] can do. First, I create one fade that I

[00:00:21] really like. And so, this fade right

[00:00:23] here, it is just two frames wide. And

[00:00:26] that's perfect. So, I'm going to select

[00:00:28] it, commandcopy. So now it's copied.

[00:00:31] Then I'm going to zoom out. And if I

[00:00:33] drag a box around all the clips, you see

[00:00:35] how it selects the clips themselves. But

[00:00:37] if I press command and I drag the box,

[00:00:40] it selects all the transitions between

[00:00:42] the clips. So I can paste that

[00:00:44] transition over. However, it's just an

[00:00:48] audio transition. So I want to select

[00:00:50] only the audio. I can just lock the

[00:00:54] video track by pressing this little lock

[00:00:57] button. And that way, even if I'm

[00:01:00] drawing a box, it still doesn't select

[00:01:03] the video track. So, if I'm drawing a

[00:01:06] box while pressing command, it only

[00:01:09] selects the audio transitions. And then

[00:01:10] I do commandV for paste. Just your

[00:01:13] standard paste shortcut. And now take a

[00:01:16] look as I zoom in. You can see that

[00:01:18] little two-frame fade has appeared

[00:01:21] everywhere. Another thing I want to do

[00:01:23] is there are some very loud and annoying

[00:01:27] sounds in this video from mainly

[00:01:31] drilling, sawing, that kind of stuff.

[00:01:34] Mainly this section right here.

[00:01:41] I like the effect of it, but it is just

[00:01:43] too grading on the ears. So, I can go

[00:01:48] ahead and lower the volume in a variety

[00:01:52] of different ways. I can select all of

[00:01:55] those clips, rightclick, go to audio

[00:01:58] gain, and adjust the gain. So, here it

[00:02:02] says adjust the gain by how many dB do I

[00:02:05] want? Well, let's do

[00:02:08] 15, for example, and press okay. You can

[00:02:10] see here the actual decibel line got

[00:02:14] squeezed down. So it sounds like this.

[00:02:17] Now

[00:02:23] I have another way to do it is this

[00:02:26] white line that is in the middle of the

[00:02:29] entire audio track is a volume line. So

[00:02:32] I can lower the volume line like that.

[00:02:37] You might think, oh well to lower the

[00:02:39] volume line across all of them, you have

[00:02:41] to select all of them and then that will

[00:02:43] lower the volume line, right? Select.

[00:02:46] Nope. It still only lowers the volume

[00:02:48] line of each one individually, which

[00:02:51] feels like a lot of work. Except you can

[00:02:55] just copy paste the volume adjustment.

[00:02:57] So just go to the volume adjustment that

[00:02:59] you like. And as you're dragging, you

[00:03:01] can see there's a little number next to

[00:03:05] the clip that shows you where your

[00:03:08] decibel level is.

[00:03:11] You can go over here to effect controls.

[00:03:13] And these are properties that you can

[00:03:15] copy paste across multiple clips. So my

[00:03:19] effect control for volume is this one. I

[00:03:22] select it. It's gray. By the way, the

[00:03:24] source window is still there. I just

[00:03:26] went to a different tab called effect

[00:03:27] controls. I'm going to select the volume

[00:03:30] line. Commandcopy. Then I'm going to

[00:03:32] select all the other ones that I want to

[00:03:34] paste that same volume adjustment to.

[00:03:37] Command V. And now you can see all those

[00:03:39] lines are even. If I select all of them,

[00:03:44] the volume no longer pops up in effect

[00:03:47] controls because you've selected

[00:03:49] multiple of them. But over here in

[00:03:52] properties, it says multiple clips

[00:03:55] selected. Do you want to adjust the

[00:03:57] volume? Yes.

[00:04:00] And I can adjust the volume as a group

[00:04:02] over here. I don't mean to make this

[00:04:05] complicated.

[00:04:06] I mean to give you options because in

[00:04:10] Premiere Pro, just like in many other

[00:04:12] programs, there are multiple ways to do

[00:04:14] a thing. And some of these ways might be

[00:04:18] more useful to you, some of them might

[00:04:20] not. For example, another way to change

[00:04:24] the volume of a section instead of doing

[00:04:27] what we just did. So, I'll just do undo.

[00:04:29] Undo and bring the volume back to where

[00:04:33] it was. Is this right here? This is the

[00:04:36] mix track, aka the global volume track.

[00:04:40] And for this one, you can actually

[00:04:43] create what we call ducking. So you can

[00:04:46] create a dip in the volume of this

[00:04:48] section and then keep it going the same

[00:04:51] for the rest by introducing key frames.

[00:04:54] So you hold down the command button,

[00:04:58] click on the line, that introduces one

[00:05:01] key frame. Click on the line again that

[00:05:03] introduces a second key frame and then

[00:05:05] drag this part of the line down. A key

[00:05:10] frame is not complicated at all. It just

[00:05:13] means keep this value at this key frame

[00:05:17] like this and keep this value at this

[00:05:19] key frame like this. So, it's almost

[00:05:21] like the beginning and end of a value

[00:05:24] change of some kind. But take a look.

[00:05:27] Because we only put two key frames, the

[00:05:29] volume's regular, then the volume

[00:05:31] lowers, and then it's low for the rest

[00:05:34] of the video, right? And we don't want

[00:05:36] that. So, we got to put another key

[00:05:38] frame here and another key frame here

[00:05:41] for when we want the volume to go up

[00:05:44] again. And then move that line back up

[00:05:47] to a regular level. So now let's listen

[00:05:50] to it again. The volume line didn't

[00:05:52] change on the actual clips. The main

[00:05:56] mix volume went down

[00:06:01] maybe a little too low. Right? So then I

[00:06:03] could just raise it.

[00:06:10] What's the advantage of using these

[00:06:12] volume lines instead of selecting and

[00:06:15] then right-clicking and going to audio

[00:06:18] gain? Well, just that you can change the

[00:06:21] volume visually very easily this way

[00:06:24] instead of having to rightclick and type

[00:06:26] in numbers.

[00:06:27] But then again, what happens here if

[00:06:31] let's say, okay, let's unlock this.

[00:06:34] Let's say I get rid of this clip right

[00:06:35] here. I don't need it in at all. So, I

[00:06:40] press uh shiftdee or my new shortcut uh

[00:06:44] alt d.

[00:06:47] Guess what? this volume adjustment

[00:06:51] stayed here,

[00:06:53] but the section that I wanted to change

[00:06:56] the volume on shifted over. So now it'll

[00:06:59] sound like a really loud screw gun and

[00:07:01] then halfway through it'll get quiet and

[00:07:03] then it'll remain quiet and then halfway

[00:07:05] through the next clip it'll get loud

[00:07:06] just like this.

[00:07:11] I have laid out the light strip here.

[00:07:15] So, in order to kind of prevent yourself

[00:07:19] from doing that, I wouldn't recommend

[00:07:22] using the volume line unless you are

[00:07:26] 100% locked into your edit. So, I'm

[00:07:28] going to undo a bunch. Undo. Undo. Undo.

[00:07:31] I'm not going to mess with the master

[00:07:32] volume. I'm only going to select these

[00:07:34] clips. And you can see now that I have

[00:07:36] unlocked it, it selected both the video

[00:07:38] and audio. And now here in the

[00:07:40] properties, it's giving me both video

[00:07:43] and audio transform controls. And I will

[00:07:47] not change the volume globally. I'll

[00:07:49] change it selectively like this.

[00:07:52] By the way, another way to unlink things

[00:07:55] if you didn't want to lock that track

[00:07:59] just to get access to only the audio. Or

[00:08:02] let's say you didn't want to uncclick

[00:08:05] linked selection just to get access to

[00:08:07] the audio. Say you wanted to keep link

[00:08:10] selection on but now the audio gets

[00:08:12] selected. Well, you can select all the

[00:08:15] clips that you want to unlink.

[00:08:17] Rightclick and go to unlink.

[00:08:21] So now they're unlowing your mind. Undo.

[00:08:24] Let me show you another way. You can

[00:08:26] select them all and press command L,

[00:08:28] which is the shortcut for unlink. So now

[00:08:31] they're unlin. Now you can select them

[00:08:33] willy-nilly.

[00:08:35] Undo. Another way you can do it, my

[00:08:38] favorite way to do it is as you're

[00:08:40] dragging the box, you hold down option

[00:08:44] or alt.

[00:08:46] And that overrides anything else. It

[00:08:49] overrides the fact that these clips are

[00:08:52] technically linked. It overrides the

[00:08:54] fact that link selection is on. As you

[00:08:56] drag the box, you hold down option or

[00:08:59] alt. Let's find another section to lower

[00:09:01] the volume. right here. This is good cuz

[00:09:03] I can see already low volume, low

[00:09:05] volume, high volume, low volume again.

[00:09:08] So, let's lower the volume to match.

[00:09:13] Anything else that I can visually see?

[00:09:18] And again, if you don't see these

[00:09:20] waveforms visually, it might be here in

[00:09:22] the wrench menu over here. Click the

[00:09:24] wrench menu and make sure show audio

[00:09:26] waveform is enabled.

[00:09:29] Because if I disable it,

[00:09:32] all my information is gone. I love that

[00:09:34] information.

[00:09:36] So, we have added little fade

[00:09:38] transitions, right? And we have also

[00:09:40] lowered the volume on the clips that

[00:09:43] were really, really loud, but there's

[00:09:45] still a little bit to do because some of

[00:09:48] these clips, especially the outside

[00:09:50] clips, they're quite loud. There's a lot

[00:09:53] going on. Like for example, here some

[00:09:56] holes for drywall screws.

[00:10:00] You can just hear the outside coming

[00:10:02] through and it's making the audio worse.

[00:10:06] Even here, there's a plane flying

[00:10:07] overhead and the audio sounds pretty bad

[00:10:10] even though we're indoors. The ceiling

[00:10:12] and then they have diffusion panels

[00:10:15] which are white. In Premiere Pro, it's

[00:10:17] actually very easy to clean up the

[00:10:19] audio, but we need to open another

[00:10:21] panel. Up here in window, we open the

[00:10:24] essential sound panel. Now, don't get

[00:10:27] confused. Essential sound is what

[00:10:30] Premiere just calls their sound panel.

[00:10:32] And you can see it popped up here. My

[00:10:34] properties panel is still here, but

[00:10:36] essential sound is also here. And it has

[00:10:40] auto detected that what we are listening

[00:10:43] to here is dialogue. There's different

[00:10:46] types of audio, right? There's ambient

[00:10:48] sound. There's sound effects. There's

[00:10:50] dialogue. It has detected that someone

[00:10:53] in this clip is speaking. Let's maybe

[00:10:56] duplicate the audio so that just between

[00:10:59] you and me, we can listen to it before

[00:11:02] and afters by muting and unmuting

[00:11:05] instead. So, I'm going to just duplicate

[00:11:07] only the audio. So, I'm going to hold

[00:11:09] down option, select just the audio, and

[00:11:11] while holding down option, I'm going to

[00:11:13] drag down. That will duplicate that

[00:11:17] clip. By the way, holding down option

[00:11:19] will duplicate any clip you want. You

[00:11:21] can see here I'm holding down option

[00:11:23] dragging it duplicates. And I have these

[00:11:26] indicators on, which tells me that it's

[00:11:28] a duplicate clip. Where are these

[00:11:31] indicators? They're here in the wrench

[00:11:32] menu. So, I have show duplicate frame

[00:11:36] markers on. If I turn them off, I don't

[00:11:39] see the duplicates. I'm going to leave

[00:11:41] them on, though. And I'm going to delete

[00:11:44] all these by holding down option or alt.

[00:11:47] There we go. So, I'm just working with

[00:11:50] these two. This one will be our hero and

[00:11:53] this one will be the original one that

[00:11:54] we compare to. So, for now, I will mute

[00:11:58] the original one so we can work on our

[00:11:59] hero. And over here in essential sound,

[00:12:02] we can just press the enhance button.

[00:12:05] Let's listen to the original. And let's

[00:12:07] uh let's add a little bit of loop

[00:12:09] playback. So I will go up on my

[00:12:12] keyboard, press I to put the inpoint

[00:12:16] down on my keyboard, press O, or if I

[00:12:20] didn't want to do that, I wanted to

[00:12:21] create I/O of this clip only, I can just

[00:12:24] select the clip itself and press X and

[00:12:27] that puts the in-n-out points directly

[00:12:29] over the clip. And let's make sure loop

[00:12:32] playback is enabled over here.

[00:12:36] And let's play this clip.

[00:12:39] So these are the backings, the black

[00:12:42] backings. This is what attaches to the

[00:12:44] ceiling, right? And then let's play the

[00:12:47] original version of it. So these are the

[00:12:49] backings, the black backings. This is

[00:12:51] what attaches to the ceiling.

[00:12:54] Incredible, right? So I can do this

[00:12:58] enhance speech to everything in this

[00:13:01] entire project. I just select

[00:13:02] everything, deselect the one I've

[00:13:05] already added it to by pressing shift

[00:13:07] and deselecting it, and then

[00:13:11] tagging everything over here under

[00:13:13] essential sound as dialogue and then

[00:13:16] pressing enhance.

[00:13:18] While that's cooking, let me just delete

[00:13:21] this duplicate. That was just for us.

[00:13:24] And then unmute it as well. How else can

[00:13:27] you be clever with sound? Well, here's a

[00:13:29] section that has only ambient sound, but

[00:13:32] it's at all different levels for very

[00:13:34] fast clips, and I don't like that. Let's

[00:13:36] play it through.

[00:13:39] [Music]

[00:13:42] I Right. This middle one, it doesn't

[00:13:46] feel right. Even though I lowered the

[00:13:48] volume, I still think that it doesn't

[00:13:52] fit in with the other three around it,

[00:13:54] like this one, this one, and this one.

[00:13:55] Let's play that again.

[00:13:58] [Music]

[00:14:00] So, I would much rather just take the

[00:14:02] sound from this one and layer it

[00:14:05] underneath here. So, I could, you know,

[00:14:08] hold down alt, select only this audio,

[00:14:12] delete it out of existence, and then

[00:14:15] extend that audio so it sounds like

[00:14:17] this.

[00:14:21] Right? That's already a lot smoother.

[00:14:22] But see what I did there? I edited

[00:14:24] destructively because I got rid of

[00:14:26] something. I got rid of something. But

[00:14:29] what if I need it in the future? Now

[00:14:30] it's gone. So instead of doing that,

[00:14:33] what I'm going to do is simply just put

[00:14:37] this audio on the second track. Just

[00:14:40] move it to the second track and then

[00:14:42] extend it from there. If I just try to

[00:14:45] extend it, it won't work, right? It's

[00:14:47] still linked to the video. So I'm going

[00:14:49] to hold down alt or option to extend it

[00:14:52] this way.

[00:14:53] And then this audio here, I'm going to

[00:14:56] keep it there. I'm just going to disable

[00:14:59] it. Remember, this M mutes the whole

[00:15:02] track, right? I don't want the whole

[00:15:04] track muted. I just want this muted. So,

[00:15:06] I'm going to alter option, hold, select

[00:15:09] it. So, it's just this little clip.

[00:15:12] Rightclick and deselect enable.

[00:15:17] You see how it grayed out? So now it

[00:15:20] goes this audio, this audio, this audio,

[00:15:24] this audio while this is still here.

[00:15:28] It's just not enabled. It's silent. So

[00:15:32] let's play that through.

[00:15:37] I need Now what happened? Well, we lost

[00:15:40] our little fade, right? We lost our

[00:15:42] little crossfade because crossfades only

[00:15:45] happen between two clips on the same

[00:15:47] track. So, we're going to have to do a

[00:15:49] little bit of a manual crossfade, which

[00:15:51] means extend this one again, hold down

[00:15:54] alt or option, extend this one over a

[00:15:58] little bit, extend this one over this

[00:16:01] way, and then add a little manual fade

[00:16:07] so it doesn't sound abrupt.

[00:16:11] I need It's even more abrupt than I

[00:16:14] thought. Let's do that. I don't even

[00:16:16] need that little section in the front.

[00:16:17] So, I'm going to ripple edit it by

[00:16:21] pressing B

[00:16:23] and then ripple

[00:16:25] editing that

[00:16:28] I need to have the Great. You can see

[00:16:30] here enhanced speech, it created almost

[00:16:33] a froggy sound 11 in from the wall. So,

[00:16:37] for this one, I'm going to decrease the

[00:16:41] amount that enhanced speech is in there.

[00:16:47] 11 in from the wall sounds a little bit

[00:16:51] more natural. We've sort of done some

[00:16:52] manual loudness adjustments, but in

[00:16:56] order to get everything up to standard

[00:16:59] broadcast levels, you can just use the

[00:17:01] auto match loudness feature. So, select

[00:17:04] all of the audio and then up here in

[00:17:06] essential sound where it says select

[00:17:07] clips with tag, make sure that you have

[00:17:09] dialogue selected. And under the

[00:17:11] loudness tab, just click auto match.

[00:17:16] It takes a second

[00:17:20] and there it says auto match for target

[00:17:22] loudness. So now as we play it through,

[00:17:24] notice the decibel scale on this side

[00:17:26] and how it's going to hit between -12

[00:17:29] and8 which is exactly where we want it

[00:17:32] all over all four sides of the room and

[00:17:36] it's all going to be controlled via a

[00:17:38] smart assistant. Moving on to the next

[00:17:41] step, we are going to, you guessed it,

[00:17:43] duplicate the sequence. So over here 04

[00:17:46] audio edit going to hold down command

[00:17:48] drag up to duplicate

[00:17:51] 05

[00:17:53] and music.

[00:17:56] Double click to open. So now we have our

[00:17:58] fifth sequence open. To add music, you

[00:18:02] can obviously just drag in whatever

[00:18:04] music you want. I would recommend

[00:18:06] putting it into the music bin to stay

[00:18:08] organized. But did you know Premiere

[00:18:11] actually has music libraries built in?

[00:18:14] Thus far, we've been just using the edit

[00:18:16] tab. But if you go to the browse tab

[00:18:19] here, you can get music from Adobe

[00:18:22] Stock. Not just music, but sound

[00:18:24] effects. So many sound effects. So in

[00:18:28] music, you can choose your mood. We

[00:18:32] want, let's see, festive. We want happy.

[00:18:37] You can choose your genre. Let's do

[00:18:42] maybe hip-hop.

[00:18:44] or pop.

[00:18:47] And then you can either filter by free

[00:18:49] or premium. The beats per minute. The

[00:18:51] duration, we know the duration is 3 and

[00:18:54] 1/2 minutes, right? So, we want it to be

[00:18:56] at least that long. Vocals, let's say no

[00:18:59] vocals because I'm talking in the video.

[00:19:02] You don't want singing in the video.

[00:19:05] There we go. We have some options from

[00:19:07] the essential sound panel. We can also

[00:19:09] audition some of these options by making

[00:19:11] sure that timeline sync is on and

[00:19:14] putting our playhead at the beginning of

[00:19:15] the video because then when we press

[00:19:17] these play buttons, we can actually

[00:19:20] audition each track. We can also change

[00:19:23] the loudness of the track so that it

[00:19:25] doesn't overwhelm. So, let's play the

[00:19:27] first one. Hey, I'm Valentina and today

[00:19:30] we're doing a really cool project in my

[00:19:32] living room. Takes too long to get

[00:19:34] started. Hey, I'm Valentina and today

[00:19:36] we're doing a really cool project in my

[00:19:38] living room. I'm going to in not bad but

[00:19:42] extremely high tempo. Hey, I'm Valentina

[00:19:45] and today we're doing a really cool

[00:19:46] project in my living room. I'm going to

[00:19:49] install track lighting all over all four

[00:19:52] sides of the room. And it's this is an

[00:19:56] option. So, let's take it and drag it to

[00:19:58] our music folder

[00:20:00] and find some other options as well.

[00:20:03] Hey, I'm Valentina and today we're doing

[00:20:05] a really

[00:20:08] Hey, I'm Valentina and today we're doing

[00:20:10] a really cool project in my living room.

[00:20:12] I like that one, too. So, we're going to

[00:20:14] drag it into the music folder. You see

[00:20:16] here in the music folder, there's

[00:20:18] actually shopping cart icons next to

[00:20:20] these tracks. That means that I actually

[00:20:23] have to buy and license the track if I

[00:20:25] want to use it. But, if I want to just

[00:20:28] audition it in my project, I can. It'll

[00:20:31] just be a lowquality version of the

[00:20:34] track. So, I will audition both of them.

[00:20:37] I'm going to drag them onto tracks A3

[00:20:41] and A4. So, this first one I will drag

[00:20:45] onto track A3. And the second one I will

[00:20:48] drag onto track A4. I'm going to get one

[00:20:51] more. Let's see. Hey, I'm Valentina and

[00:20:55] today we're doing a really cool project

[00:20:57] in my living room. I'm going to install.

[00:21:00] I like that one, too. I'm going to drag

[00:21:01] it to my music folder. And then, oh,

[00:21:04] there are no more tracks, right? So, how

[00:21:05] do I put this third song onto a fifth

[00:21:09] track? Well, I just drag it into this

[00:21:13] bottom area, and that'll just add

[00:21:15] another track for us. I can either mute

[00:21:18] all three tracks and unmute the one that

[00:21:21] I want to listen to, or I can solo the

[00:21:25] track. But check it out. Soloing this

[00:21:28] track means I'm only listening to this

[00:21:30] music track. If I want to also hear all

[00:21:32] of the words, I also have to solo these.

[00:21:36] So, it's up to you how you want to

[00:21:38] listen to this. You can either solo the

[00:21:40] first three tracks and then solo this

[00:21:44] one, mute that one when you are

[00:21:46] listening to the second music track, or

[00:21:49] I think it might be easier to just mute

[00:21:52] these back two and solo this top one.

[00:21:55] Now, when I play it through, you'll

[00:21:57] notice it'll be quite loud.

[00:22:00] So, let's actually take all three of

[00:22:02] these, go over to properties, and turn

[00:22:04] the volume down by, let's just say, 20

[00:22:07] dB. Okay. Now, let's play this first one

[00:22:11] called Afrobe Afro Hip Hop.

[00:22:18] I have laid out the light strip. Not

[00:22:22] bad. Okay, let's go to the middle one.

[00:22:24] holes for drywall screws.

[00:22:30] Also, not bad. Let's go to the last one.

[00:22:33] For drywall screws,

[00:22:40] I have laid out.

[00:22:43] Here's a little tip when deciding what

[00:22:45] the background music should be. Also,

[00:22:47] take a look at the waveform. If you zoom

[00:22:51] in enough, you'll actually see that in

[00:22:54] the first clip, there's a lot of the

[00:22:55] same repetitive motif. Listen, the light

[00:22:58] strip here

[00:23:00] duh,

[00:23:03] that's okay for a few seconds, but

[00:23:05] after,

[00:23:06] you know, 3 minutes, it gets really,

[00:23:08] really repetitive. So, you might want to

[00:23:10] go with something that has more variety

[00:23:13] in the sound, like this last one. Hey,

[00:23:17] I'm Valentina and today we're doing a

[00:23:19] really cool project in my living room.

[00:23:21] I'm going to install track lighting.

[00:23:24] Let's use the last one. So, let's delete

[00:23:26] these first two and let's move the last

[00:23:29] one up.

[00:23:31] Unmute. So, the music starts a little

[00:23:33] bit later in the clip of the track.

[00:23:35] There's this beginning part that we have

[00:23:37] to cut out and the video starts here.

[00:23:42] So, we could just very easily shorten

[00:23:44] this up and move it over. The other

[00:23:47] thing about this track is that it is way

[00:23:49] too long. There's this whole section.

[00:23:51] So, we could shorten it like that. And

[00:23:55] of course, we have snapping enabled. So,

[00:23:57] it's snapped to the end and create a

[00:23:59] little fade out. And this is what it

[00:24:01] sounds like

[00:24:03] these tracks. So, you see the effect of

[00:24:06] the lights, but you don't see the lights

[00:24:08] themselves.

[00:24:10] [Music]

[00:24:16] Hey, I'm It's a little awkward because

[00:24:17] it kind of just ends. So, instead of

[00:24:20] doing that, what a lot of people have

[00:24:22] done in the past, undo, undo, is they

[00:24:26] will uh place a cut. So, I went to my

[00:24:28] razor tool by pressing C. Then they will

[00:24:31] move this second portion down here. And

[00:24:35] then they'll try to, you know, maybe

[00:24:38] they'll try to line up the beats by

[00:24:40] selecting this second one, uh, and then

[00:24:43] holding down alt while going left and

[00:24:46] right in order to shift it one frame

[00:24:48] left and one frame right, trying to line

[00:24:51] it up like so. Okay, maybe if I put my

[00:24:54] playhead here, I can line up this hill

[00:24:56] and this hill. So I can go Okay, alt alt

[00:25:00] to the left. Uh, not quite. Nah, not

[00:25:03] quite, but kind of. Okay, let's see how

[00:25:06] it sounds like. But I need to make this

[00:25:09] shorter and then put it up. Let's do a

[00:25:12] crossfade here

[00:25:15] and then play it. Painting and trimming

[00:25:18] the next project, which is the ceiling

[00:25:20] balance that I'm going to It's a little

[00:25:22] awkward, but I guess it works. Instead

[00:25:24] of doing any of that, I'm going to show

[00:25:28] you an easier way. So, undo, undo, undo,

[00:25:31] undo. So, it's still the one file. And

[00:25:34] we'll go here to the remix tool. And the

[00:25:38] remix tool analyzes the song and then

[00:25:41] finds natural cut points to make it your

[00:25:44] desired length. You know, with a

[00:25:46] standard deviation of 5 to 10 seconds.

[00:25:49] So, we'll just drag the end of it to our

[00:25:52] desired length. And you can see the clip

[00:25:55] analysis is happening. You can see it's

[00:25:58] inserted two cuts right here and right

[00:26:01] here that are indicated by these wavy

[00:26:04] lines and it should play through a lot

[00:26:07] smoother than me doing it manually long

[00:26:11] today is because I was also painting and

[00:26:13] trimming the Here we go which is the

[00:26:16] ceiling balance that I'm going to put

[00:26:17] all over the room to you can kind of get

[00:26:20] it to hide these tracks so you see the

[00:26:25] effect. So, now that I know that this is

[00:26:27] the clip that I'm using, I'm going to

[00:26:29] click on the shopping cart. And it says,

[00:26:32] "Do you want to license dramatic

[00:26:34] emotional pop rock kasa amigos?" This

[00:26:36] will use one of your seven licenses.

[00:26:37] That's what I've got left in Adobe

[00:26:39] Stock. And I'm going to press confirm.

[00:26:41] Your asset is ready. And I have blurred

[00:26:43] out this code, but it's basically a

[00:26:46] custom code that I got. And I press

[00:26:50] okay. You can see now the shopping cart

[00:26:52] is gone, which means I own the clip. One

[00:26:55] last bit to finish it up. I want to put

[00:26:57] some text at the end, like a thank you

[00:26:59] for watching or a stay tuned. So, I'm

[00:27:02] going to go to the text tool,

[00:27:04] select it, and just type directly onto

[00:27:07] the screen.

[00:27:10] Stay tuned

[00:27:13] for the next video. Of course, this is

[00:27:18] just the default font, color, and

[00:27:20] everything, but in the properties panel,

[00:27:23] you can change all that. So, I'm going

[00:27:26] to go back to my selection tool. So, now

[00:27:27] I have the text selected. And you can

[00:27:30] see when I added the text, it actually

[00:27:32] added a graphic right here onto the

[00:27:37] second video layer. So, let me make that

[00:27:39] graphic bigger

[00:27:43] so that it fits the entire length of

[00:27:46] this clip. And I can change the font. I

[00:27:50] can go. That seems nice. I can maybe

[00:27:54] change the color to something different

[00:27:57] like the color of the lights maybe. So,

[00:28:00] I use the eyropper to drop the color of

[00:28:02] the lights. Have a little maybe a little

[00:28:05] shadow. Make it black.

[00:28:08] If you've ever used Photoshop, this is

[00:28:12] very similar to that.

[00:28:15] And let's align it in the center.

[00:28:19] Maybe make the actual center align the

[00:28:23] text to itself. Then align the the text

[00:28:26] in the center of the screen.

[00:28:28] Oh, align the anchor point and then

[00:28:31] align it in the center of the screen.

[00:28:33] Maybe make the font size bigger.

[00:28:37] And yeah, that looks good. Let's play

[00:28:41] it.

[00:28:50] Maybe I'll make the song a little bit

[00:28:53] longer.

[00:28:55] Go to the remix tool. Make it a little

[00:28:59] bit longer. Let's see.

[00:29:03] [Music]

[00:29:08] This is where the song actually ends.

[00:29:11] So, let me trim the end of this clip and

[00:29:14] then I will

[00:29:17] have

[00:29:18] the content the video end a little bit

[00:29:22] earlier but leave the graphic on the

[00:29:24] screen for just one second, half a

[00:29:27] second. So that on that is just the

[00:29:32] text. Watch.

[00:29:36] Nice. I want to do one more thing with

[00:29:39] the music. You can see there's certain

[00:29:41] times in the video where I'm not talking

[00:29:44] and it's just action that's happening on

[00:29:46] screen and the action's quite quiet.

[00:29:48] Like for example, here with like regular

[00:29:51] house paint,

[00:29:57] I need to have this be. And what I want

[00:30:00] the music to do is sort of dip lower

[00:30:03] when I'm talking but go higher when I'm

[00:30:05] not talking so that the levels are more

[00:30:07] or less evened out. So using this volume

[00:30:10] line, what I can do is create key frames

[00:30:13] on that volume line. Like for example,

[00:30:15] I'll start a little bit before, right?

[00:30:18] And what I want is I want to have this

[00:30:21] go down, then up higher during the

[00:30:25] action, and then down again for the

[00:30:28] words. Right? So, I can create key

[00:30:30] frames by either going up here to effect

[00:30:32] controls and then pressing the level

[00:30:36] stopwatch here, which creates a key

[00:30:39] frame on this track up here. And it also

[00:30:43] creates a visual key frame here on the

[00:30:46] actual music track. Meaning at this

[00:30:49] point in time, this value for the level

[00:30:53] of the music is at -23.9.

[00:30:57] Then I can move my playhead a little bit

[00:30:59] later, add another key frame.

[00:31:03] Move my playhead a little bit later, add

[00:31:05] another key frame. Or I can do it simply

[00:31:08] visually directly on the track by

[00:31:11] clicking on that volume line while

[00:31:14] holding down command. That also creates

[00:31:17] a key frame. And now what I can do is I

[00:31:20] can drag that middle section up. So let

[00:31:23] me drag it to let's say -4.6 6 dB. And

[00:31:27] then the side sections I'll drag down to

[00:31:30] -28.9.

[00:31:33] So you can see here the volume goes up

[00:31:36] and down. But if I have to do this every

[00:31:40] single time, it's going to get tedious,

[00:31:43] especially if the video is really,

[00:31:44] really long. So here under essential

[00:31:47] sound, you can actually do it

[00:31:49] automatically. If you just go down here

[00:31:51] to ducking, which is what this technique

[00:31:53] is called, not like quack- quack duck.

[00:31:56] It's like duck under, you know, a tree

[00:32:00] branch or something. That's ducking,

[00:32:02] right? So, here in ducking, I can

[00:32:04] actually enable autoducking. So, I'm

[00:32:06] going to turn that on and I'm going to

[00:32:10] say this music track, which is the track

[00:32:12] that's selected, you can see the white

[00:32:14] selection over it. I want to duck that

[00:32:18] music track against the dialogue. And

[00:32:21] here with these sliders, you can adjust

[00:32:23] your sensitivity, your duck amount, your

[00:32:26] fade duration, and your fade position.

[00:32:28] So, for example, if I want it to be

[00:32:31] very, very sensitive, and I will jump

[00:32:34] out, press the backslash to see the

[00:32:36] entire project. If I want it to be very

[00:32:39] sensitive, duck a lot and have very

[00:32:43] short fades, I can generate those

[00:32:45] automatic key frames.

[00:32:50] And you can see here, every time there's

[00:32:52] moments of silence, it generated a very

[00:32:56] quick ramp of that music. But I don't

[00:33:00] want that. I want it to be a little bit

[00:33:02] less sensitive. I want the ducking to be

[00:33:05] sort of in the middle. maybe duck about

[00:33:07] 10 dB. And I want the fades to be, you

[00:33:12] know, a little bit longer. And so when I

[00:33:16] click generate key frames again, it's

[00:33:18] going to ignore what the previous

[00:33:21] settings were and do it again for me.

[00:33:23] Ooh, maybe even less sensitive. Generate

[00:33:28] key frames.

[00:33:30] So now let's listen to what this sounds

[00:33:32] like. Like regular house paint.

[00:33:37] Oh no, I need the duck amount to be much

[00:33:40] less than that and the fade duration to

[00:33:42] be longer. Generate key frames.

[00:33:46] And then I want the overall clip volume

[00:33:48] to be a little bit higher.

[00:33:51] Let's see what that sounds like. More

[00:33:52] than one coat. Regular house paint.

[00:34:00] I need to have this be on. Nice. What

[00:34:03] about this section here? holes for

[00:34:06] drywall screws.

[00:34:11] Maybe duck amount a little bit higher.

[00:34:13] Generate key frames. Okay, let's take a

[00:34:16] listen.

[00:34:18] For drywall screws,

[00:34:23] how many channels

[00:34:26] I need for each wall and where to cut

[00:34:28] them. Now, here it created key frames

[00:34:31] where it shouldn't have, right? because

[00:34:33] even though I took a pause in speech, it

[00:34:36] wasn't long enough for it to create key

[00:34:38] frames. So, what I can do is I can

[00:34:40] delete these entirely. If I go over

[00:34:43] here, I can go to individual parameters,

[00:34:47] drop that down so that I see the

[00:34:49] physical key frames that the auto key

[00:34:52] frame created. Zoom in a little bit,

[00:34:55] highlight those, and delete them. And

[00:34:58] they've deleted off of that track. Now

[00:35:01] that we've got our video finished, we'll

[00:35:03] go to export

[00:35:05] and we'll finally be able to glue it all

[00:35:08] together into a video file on our

[00:35:10] computer. First, we have to find where

[00:35:12] the location of this file is going to

[00:35:14] live. So, in our main project here at

[00:35:18] the end, we have the exports folder. So,

[00:35:20] we will select that. And then for the

[00:35:23] name of the project, I like to obviously

[00:35:26] have the date, what it is, and then the

[00:35:28] version number. For preset, we're going

[00:35:31] to go here and go to the highquality

[00:35:34] 1080p HD preset. This is going to be

[00:35:38] what is perfect for a YouTube upload and

[00:35:41] Premiere Pro has already figured that

[00:35:44] out for you. For format, H.264

[00:35:47] is the standard format for video online.

[00:35:51] And over here in range, we're going to

[00:35:53] do entire source. If we were to do

[00:35:57] source in out and we had in-n-out points

[00:35:59] on our timeline, it would export just

[00:36:01] that section. But for us, we want to

[00:36:04] export the whole video.

[00:36:07] We make sure that audio is selected.

[00:36:10] Export will export the video using

[00:36:13] Premiere Pro. Send to media encoder

[00:36:15] sends it to a different program that

[00:36:18] exports it while you can continue

[00:36:20] working in Premiere Pro. In this case,

[00:36:23] since we don't want it to get too

[00:36:25] complicated, let's just click export.

[00:36:28] Our video here is in the exports folder.

[00:36:30] And before we watch it together and then

[00:36:32] move on to editing the second video, I

[00:36:34] just wanted to say that if you've been

[00:36:36] enjoying this tutorial so far, I would

[00:36:39] love to hear from you. I'm putting my

[00:36:41] socials on the screen and just send me a

[00:36:43] quick DM or a quick comment because I

[00:36:46] want to know how you're doing. All

[00:36:48] right, let's watch together. Hey, I'm

[00:36:50] Valentina and today we're doing a really

[00:36:52] cool project in my living room. I'm

[00:36:54] going to install track lighting all over

[00:36:58] all four sides of the room and it's all

[00:37:01] going to be controlled via a smart

[00:37:04] assistant. So, these are the backings,

[00:37:06] the black backings. This is what

[00:37:08] attaches to the ceiling. And then they

[00:37:11] have diffusion panels which are white. I

[00:37:13] got really good quality film accurate

[00:37:16] lights, but the problem is, okay, the

[00:37:18] strip light's fine, but it comes with

[00:37:19] all this, all these cables and

[00:37:21] everything. And this is not cute. This

[00:37:24] is an outlet box cover for babies. And

[00:37:27] it locks like this. They all perfectly

[00:37:30] fit in here. And then I can actually

[00:37:33] close it.

[00:37:37] Tada. So, there's a flush outlet here.

[00:37:40] So, I bought a little extension cord

[00:37:44] with an outlet cover, and it's like a

[00:37:46] flush outlet cover. Step one is going to

[00:37:48] be to paint these outlet boxes and

[00:37:51] outlet covers to match.

[00:37:55] Things that are plastic, I have found

[00:37:57] often need more than one coat when they

[00:38:00] are being painted with like regular

[00:38:02] house paint.

[00:38:08] I need to have this be on the exact No,

[00:38:12] I should do 11 in from the wall. Yeah.

[00:38:20] So, I'm going to create some holes for

[00:38:24] drywall screws.

[00:38:30] I have laid out the light strip here.

[00:38:35] And I want to know

[00:38:38] how many channels

[00:38:40] I need for each wall and where to cut

[00:38:42] them. This is going to be the

[00:38:47] right side. 6 in from that one, 11 in

[00:38:50] from that one.

[00:38:54] Now comes the easy part. I just have to

[00:38:55] install these little brackets in the

[00:38:57] ceiling with these little screws.

[00:39:03] [Music]

[00:39:05] Now that the brackets are up, it's

[00:39:08] really easy to put these channels in.

[00:39:09] They just click in. It's about right.

[00:39:12] Click it in. Put it in this bracket.

[00:39:15] Perfect.

[00:39:16] And then this bracket back here. Great.

[00:39:20] Now, let's put the lights in. Comes out

[00:39:21] of here.

[00:39:24] All right. Turn it on.

[00:39:26] I'll use this sticky to stick it up into

[00:39:33] the groove.

[00:39:41] Just going to finish off

[00:39:43] this diffusion.

[00:39:45] [Music]

[00:39:52] Tada. Partly why this
