Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Slowing down Audio

    Hi there, I am trying to slow down an interview subject’s audio because she’s talking crazy fast. When I go into clip speed duration and slow her to 80% and select maintain audio pitch the resulting audio has a strange reverb on it. Anybody have any ideas how to do this properly in Premiere Pro?

    In my experience, the only way to accomplish this clean with no artifacts is a trip through Audition. Speed/duration changes in PPro work fine – for video only.

    If I need to maintain sync, I will do something like process audio to 80% speed, then increase video duration in the PPro timeline to 120%. 70% audio speed, increase video duration to 130%. And so on.

    System:
    Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
    Win 7 64-bit
    32GB RAM
    Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
    256GB SSD system drive
    4 internal media drives RAID 5
    Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF.

    You can change the speed of audio and/or video using the Clip > Speed Duration feature. You can then apply the Pitch Shifter effect to the audio to offset the change in pitch.
