  • Use one channel for Premiere Pro CS5 Speech Analysis

    Posted by Philip Hodgetts on August 5, 2010 at 8:06 pm

    Just wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to retain two audio tracks within a file, but only use one of the tracks for speech analysis. I have one track with definitely superior audio quality (cleaner, no background) and I don’t want to totally eliminate the secondary track (which has more atmosphere in it).

    Tried searching the COW, Adobe docs and community help and can’t find anything on the subject.

    TIA

    Good question – I suppose you could use the fill left or fill right effect, but I think the speech analysis works from files in the project, not on a sequence. If that is the case, and your background atmosphere on Ch 2 is interfering with the analysis, you could export clean audio and re-import, but that does not really answer your question.

    Phil – have not seen or heard your name in a very long time since I was starting out with Media 100 in the late 90’s – hope you are doing well.

    Thanks for the response Mike and yes, I’ve been around since the M100 days but drifted off to the FCP world, and now software development. You’re right, the Speech Analysis works directly off the media file and puts the result back into that media file. I ultimately decided I’d dump the atmosphere-rich version and go with the quality mic only. I can always add the atmosphere back in.

    Testing a new piece of transcription-editing software we created on a documentary we’re shooting. (prEdit lets you manipulate the edit using the transcripts, including making new subclips, entering log notes etc, for FCP and Premiere but uses Premiere/Soundbooth for time stamping words in the media file and transcribing them).

    Thanks again Mike
