  • Add clip audio after the fact?

    Posted by Jesse Wood on November 15, 2013 at 6:53 pm

    Soo I just finished cutting a montage video to music, and as it’s cut to music, I only used the video from my clips, sans audio. Now the client has asked if we can keep the clip audio slightly in the cut, which is a huge pain because it’s literally not on the timeline.

    I realize I was probably stupid not to keep both a/v in and just mute the audio track, but hindsight is 20/20 blah blah. So trying to avoid this incredibly time-wasting lesson, is there some way to bring all the clip’s audio in after the fact?

    thanks!

    The usual method is to place your playhead at the head of a clip in the timeline, hit ‘F’ to load that clip at that frame into the Source Monitor. Set an ‘In’ point in the Source Monitor. Repeat for the tail of the clip in the timeline, then drag audio only down from the Source Monitor to the timeline.

    Awesome, thank you a ton. That worked considerably better than what I was expecting having to do.

    Match frame is a feature that was oddly missing for all previous versions of Premiere before CS6 and saves lots of time especially after editing accidents!

    I actually learned about it in an Avid suite and went to look for it on Premiere.
