  • applying Audition/Izotope audio fixes to all timeline interview clips

    Posted by Cameron Zohoori on December 3, 2013 at 5:52 pm

    Hello, I’m embarking on my first major piece edited in PPro (CS6), a documentary with several dozen interviews and a ton of b-roll. In figuring out my workflow, I know I’m going to need to do a decent amount of audio work to fix up the sound of the interviews, likely in Audition or Izotope RX3.

    My question is: can I edit the piece using the interview with raw audio in Premiere, then use an external program to analyze and correct (for example noise reduction) the master audio file for each interview, and apply that to all the clips on the PPro timeline coming from that file?

    I would rather do this than have to correct every interview’s audio before editing, and it also sounds a lot better than individually fixing each clip after the piece is put together.

    I’ve been digging around but haven’t seen any solutions yet. Thanks for the help!

    Here’s a method that I like to use when facing the same task…

    Create a sequence out of each separate interview. Name the sequence as you like, but I use the convention “Interviewee Name – Cutting”, and place all of these ‘cutting sequences’ in an aptly named bin.

    Right click on the audio in a sequence and ‘Edit in Audition’.

    Do whatever you need to do in Audition, or in the case of Izotope RX3, locate the resulting WAV file that was created at the ‘Edit in Audition’ command.

    Use these sequences to cut your interview segments from. Treat them just like ‘clips’ by loading them into the Source Monitor.

    The beauty is, if your interviews are one long clip each, you can apply noise reduction to the entire WAV, since the captured noise print will likely be representative of the entire clip.

    This sounds like exactly the solution I was looking for. Thanks a ton!
