This is a known issue. I’ve done a few searches and apparently if you install Audition FIRST and then install Premiere, the programs talk to each other and the option is available in Premiere.

I have the CS6 Master Collection and on a fresh install, the “Edit in Audition” option is greyed out. Audition works on its own, and so does Premiere. It’s annoying from an everyday user standpoint, but I haven’t found a fix for this yet. If you have the time to uninstall and reinstall multiple times, other forums have suggested going that route…

If you want a manual fix for each and every project you work on, here’s one:

1. Select the audio that you want to work with on the timeline in Premiere.
2. Clip -> Audio -> Render & Replace.
3. The rendered version of the audio you selected should now be selected in your media library…if not, then browse through to find it.
4. Right click the audio file in your media library and select “Reveal in Explorer”…Unless you have a Windows Explorer/Finder window for your project already open.
5. Open the audio in Audition and make your adjustments/enhancements.
6. Go back to Premiere and ensure that your changes in Audition have updated the Rendered & Replaced audio file on your Premiere timeline.

Until Adobe addresses a fix to this issue, you should be able to make your edits using the above steps…although it does take a few extra steps.

Hey Dan,

I just responded to an older post of a similar message. Here’s the post I submitted for the other post:

I haven’t had encoding issues since the Adobe Premiere 5.5 days.

Media Encoder, in my opinion, is one of the best things that Adobe has done to make the CS Suite more integrated.

I still think that there’s a long way to go with it though. It would be nice to batch export from all programs in the Master Collection through the Media Encoder so that you can still work on other elements of your projects in their respective programs. Batch export photos with watermarks from Photoshop, multiple vector exports from Illustrator, rendering to DVD from Encore, etc. It would allow you to use a program, set up the export, close the program, jump into another program and work, and then start your batch export list either while you are working in another program, or when you step away from your desk.

With a recent video project of mine, my export kept freezing. I tried loading the project onto an external drive and attempted the export on 2 other PCs in the office. All PCs are running the CS4 Master Collection and all with different update versions. One is a mat leave staff member’s PC which hasn’t been used in 9 months and the other is our stand alone encoding machine which hasn’t been used in 2-3 months. Since I use my PC for editing video everyday, I figured that if it’s an update issue, then one of the other 2 machines should be able to export the video without any issues.

After trying the export on the other 2 machines with the freezing in exporting at different points in the video, I decided to assume that the project file has somehow become corrupt. It opens fine on 3 PCs, plays on the timeline fine, allows me to continue to edit fine, but freezes during the export process. There’s obviously some dead frames that are causing the encoder to give up all hope of rendering.

With the assumption of project file corruption, here’s how I solved the problem:

1. Create a new project with your desired settings
2. Import the project that you’ve spent hours on (in most cases)
3. Select the “Selected Sequences” option
4. Wait for it to open that project and you should get a list of all of the library elements from that project. Select your sequence(s) and click “ok”
5. Open the imported timeline and try to export it

This worked for me. I don’t claim to know everything but it’s definitely worth a try before you spend hours re-editing.
