  • Can You Double Speed Audio Playback and Still Understand Audio In Premiere?

    Posted by Gabe Miller on February 22, 2014 at 3:39 pm

    I’m used to using FCP 7, in FCP you can play interview footage at double speed and still understand the audio (if it’s recorded properly), however in Premiere Pro CC 7 the pitch is too high to understand at accelerated playback speeds. I’ve seen solutions for Premiere CS 6 (shift+J), but that doesn’t work in CC 7, and the cultural divide between India and the US has prevented affective communication with Adobe Tech support (while they speak very nice English, terminology has proven to differer so much that they tend to not understand what I’m asking, possibly my fault too).

    Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Thanks.

    HI Gabe,
    Try Shift + JKL. You have to tap the keys a few times to get to the speed you like.

    Thanks Kevin. Unfortunately, that didn’t work, but maybe I’m not doing it correctly. I tapped L twice to get to double speed, then I tried the Shift+JKL two ways, once all at the same time, then Shift prior to JKL. Each time I held all three keys (J, K, and L) down at the same time, as I’d previously tried just using L, or J.

    I did seem to be able to use the Shift then J to adjust the pitch on one clip, but haven’t been able to replicate it, so I’m starting to think this is a user issue, however, I’m slightly discouraged by tech support’s inability to recognize the task.

    Just to be sure, I’m on a Macbook Pro Retina running OS 10.8.4 and Premiere Pro CC 7.0.0. It was explained to me by tech support that the Shift+J option to decrease the pitch was only available on CS 6, to which I responded, “so they made the program worse?” thinking they must be mistaken.

    I am otherwise pretty happy with Premiere, however, this is costing me some serious time, what I estimated to be a three day pre-assemble has stretched into day five because I’m left to sort dialogue in normal speed.

    Thanks again for trying.
