Mute sound in source window?
Hello again. I’m working on a new project. My assets consist mostly of 15-minute clips with audio and video. I’m not going to use much of the original audio, since I’m essentially making a music video with some sound bites. When I play the clips in the source window to chop them up, I don’t want to hear the sound. Is it possible to mute the audio? I want to listen to the music so I can select the proper clips. I know I can just play the song on my mp3 player and turn off the sound on my computer completely, but I was wondering if there is an alternative within Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

What you should have done is only capture the video, You can select to capture just video and not audio, but since you didn’t do that your only option is to mute your speakers and play the real audio seperatly.

A quick and easy fix to mute “permanently”. Select all your clips and go to Clip > Audio options, and change the gain to – 40.
That cannot be changed back for clips that currently are in the timeline.

Beauty! Thanks, Vince. That works wonderfully. I love this forum already.

Vince you Don, now I can play my own music whilst previewing and slicing!

Hi Sue, you can just go to Preferences-Audio and uncheck the Preview Audio while Scrubbing box. EZ

Im doing something similar and found that you can go into the Project window, select all your clips, right click, Modify > Audio Channels. Then you change the number of tracks to 0. This makes it so there’s no audio in the source or preview.

I edit quite a few sizzle reels and while this isn’t a problem when working with most professional cameras, occasionally I’ll get DLSR footage which always has audio.
Probably the simplest solution is just to purchase Audio Hijack (https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11067/audio-hijack-pro) or Hear (https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27310/hear). Both programs can shut off a specific program’s audio and only cost $32.00 or $19.95 respectively. Then you can just listen to the song your using (or anything else) in iTunes, Spotify or Songza.

I know this is really late to your post, but the better way to do this is to select all the clips in your bin, right click, modify > audio channels, then put both the left and right monitors to “NONE”. You can always change it later without having to mess with levels.
