Hello, everyone, and welcome to our Premiere Pro course. This is our actual first lesson in Premiere Pro. I'm really excited to have you here. So let's actually not waste time. Let's explain what we're going to learn in this lesson and some things that we're going to learn throughout the course, and how the things are going to work throughout this course how we're going to work in it. So right now we're in Premiere Pro.

And the first thing that I wanted to say is right now we're going to go over some basics to show you how audio in Premiere Pro works, how you work with it, some audio workspaces, and stuff like that. So the next question from this one will be, How to Add Noise Reduction, or how to remove noise out of your clip that is free to watch as preview of the lesson. So if you want to check that out is the next lesson. But if you want to continue learning, you're going to have to push in this course. So right now I'm going to explain some basics. And right here we're in Premiere Pro.

And what I want to talk about right here is For those of you, for those of you who are beginners, we have some options right here that are really important for us. And I'm going to explain them right now. This right here is the timeline. In case you didn't know what this is, this is where you import your files to actually work on them to actually edit them. And to adjust them. This is where you import them in the project.

But, but right here, once you drag them into this timeline, you actually are going to work with them. So right here, what I have is a couple of clips just tossed around for the sake of this lesson, so I can explain some things. And right now what I want to talk about is as you can see, we have these tracks right here, they're lined up and this top three right here, which are spawned on default, our video tracks as you can see, this is the one which stands for video one, and we have three of these underneath. It says a one a two and a three. You guessed it right is the audio tracks. Of course you can add more tracks, but we're going to get to that in a minute.

Right here. Have these audio files, which I imported. And if I wanted to have a better view on this audio track, what I would do is just double click right here in this free space, it should open up this. As we can see the audio is much better and we have a couple of more options. By dragging this up and down, we're going to increase the decibels which is of course going to increase the volume of our audio. On the left side, we have a couple of options that we would like to use.

Right here. As you can see, it says audio one, this is the name of the track. For those of you who don't understand why the track has a name is because once you have a stacked timeline and you're actually working on a big project, we will have a lot of separate audio tracks in which you will have everything separately added. For example, in our first one, let's say we have the speech and only in our first audio track the speech will be in our second one. This is the place for example where we would store let's say music in the third one we would store I don't know, sound effects and stuff like that. So if I want to know exactly what I'm working with at the moment, or if let's say I see a mistake in my speech, I would know where to head to and where to look the problem.

If I right click this audio one, click Rename and type in speech. And just that I would know exactly where it is. So we have a couple of more options right here. Let's discuss them. So right here we have this m, s, and this microphone. So as you can see, once you hover over it, it says mute tracks.

So if we click this, it's going to mute the track and we won't hear anything. You can clearly see the audio was right here, which means there is audio and let's unmute this. Welcome. This is just our audio that we're going to be using. As you can see, this is our audio track which we just muted. And if you want to, let's say you have to stack audio tracks.

Right here, you want to hear only the one underneath. You just mute this upper with this option, and you should listen to the second one. If you click, it means for solo tracks, so it's going to mute everything else except for the track right here, this one. So if we press the hover over here where we have this second track, we won't be able to hear it at the scene, whatever, before you actually start the channel. As you can see right here, we have two speeches, but if I press solo track is going to play just the one that we sold. This right here is a voiceover record.

If you press this is going to make a recording of your voice, which is going to apply automatically to the timeline. It's really simple, real simple stuff. So right here, we have this option which Ecwid check right here. It says show keyframes so what are keyframes keyframes are these diamonds live right here, this little diamonds this case, which if we add we can change you can add adjustment to our audio clips. For example, if I click this, right Here as you can see, this diamond just appeared in the timeline on this particular audio track where exactly the playhead is, if I move up a bit and see right here and add another diamond, we have two of them. Right now we can make gradual changes to the audio track.

Let's say I lowered This one is going to gradually make the difference. As you can see it's making a slider. So it's not automatically lowering the audio as we learned earlier on this slide right here, but it's making a it's making a smooth change right here. And as you can see, if you listen to the poster is going to lower the volume right now. I forgot to mute the downtrend sorry for trying to add it and you don't have that free space right here for it to happen. Which you can do is the next thing.

So let's say this is the audio that I have right here. And what you can do is, as you can see over the time, the audio track is getting quieter and quieter and it's really simple to use with easy to use. isn't really fun to use right here. As you can see, you can change some stuff, but I will recommend you to keep it click keyframes. And if you want to track keyframes, it will be the volume one. And if you're wondering how to remove this, what you can do right now is go right here to special shortcut P, and just click on it, target these and press your shortcut for delete, it should remove them right away.

It's really that simple. We're going to switch switch to the selection tool back. And right now I want to go over some more important things. Once we learned all these basics, I actually have something else to mention. So if you right click any of the audio tracks you have this audio gain in audio channels, and speed and duration. Of course you can change the speed speed up or slow it down the audio track and go to audio gain and mess around with this.

For example if we want to set the gain to it means if we want to set the exact decibels which the audio is going to peak to you can do it right here or adjust gains. normalize beats and what peak amplitude is, it means that this is the most the you can add of the decibels for it to not distort. So if you add more maximum minus 3.7, the audio is going to sound normal to go over that is going to sound distorted. And that's something that we really don't want. So let's cancel this since you learned all these simple options. And right now I'm going to show you how, how it looks in the audio workspace.

Right now this is the effects workspace. And this is actually the place where I'm going to be working throughout this whole course. Because this is somewhere that I've been the fastest way and the easiest for me to explain this. I've been working in the past that for the longest, but of course you can use the audio track, it has literally the same options just for some it's simpler in the audio track to work for me it's in the effects. It's the same thing. Don't be worried about it.

So as you can see right here we have a lot of these workspaces. I'm in the effects tab right here. Switch up to audio. And as you can see, we have another workspace appear. And right here we have this audio track mixer audio clip mixer, which I'm going to explain right now. Alright, so you're probably asking yourself now, what is the difference between audio clip mixer and audio track mixer?

Well, the name says itself. This audio clip mixer is affecting only the clips that are right here underneath this playhead while the audio track mixer is affecting the individual tracks that it's happening on, for example, this is the a one and as you remember, this is our a one speech. So this right here, these options will affect only the audio track one where for audio clip mixer is going to affect all of these underneath as one. So let's start off with the audio clip mixer which is way much more simple. So you can change the names right here which is simple and you probably noticed it by yourself. And these right here.

This is for switching up or increasing or decreasing decibels. For example, if you want to lower only the audio and the first track in the course, which you can do, let me just remove this right here, right, right click it. See it's exactly what I did right here. Click Next. Once your nested is going to have a sequence, double click on it, and it should appear right here. This is right.

So simple as that. We have the mute and solo track, we have to keep ringing that we explained earlier. It's pretty much basic, really, really basic. And as you can see, we have everything of this right here. So there's no reason for me to actually use this because it's way simpler for me to use the first step. That's what I'm going to be working throughout this whole course in the effects tab, which is pretty much literally the exact same thing.

And when it comes to audio waves which appear right here to see the peaks, we can see that right here. No big deal. So, once we have explained this, I have one new option that we actually don't have here, which can be used in the audio clip mixer and in the audio track mixer the same as the left and right increase or decrease. So for example, if I play this clip and I want it to be heard on the right side or your right ear, I will drag it to the right side or increase this if I want to on the left, I will drag it to the left side or decrease this. It's really that simple. You can also drag it here or here.

And let's play it and test it out by audio. Without the finish. This is where I finished it. What I did actually is I copied this track so hold Alt and drag it upwards or downwards, whatever if you don't have enough tracks, just right click this and click Add track. And it's pretty much simple. So for example, what this can be used for is if you're making let's say a cinematic video and you have your recording putting up a beach and there are waves from the sea coming at you from your right side.

Of course, it will be a little bit unrealistic to hear it normally. So you would join this just a little bit to the right side for it to seem realistic enough with the audio clip mixer. And let's move on to the audio track mixer. Right here. As you can see, we have pretty much the same things. But right here we have this track called master.

And what this is actually what this master track does, is that it affects all of these tracks throughout the whole sequence. For example, if we made a change in our first one, let's say this one, and let's say we decrease the audio. If we decrease it right here, two is going to decrease everything but it's also going going to add a decrease on top of this one. So it's going to respect our changes before but it's going to also add up the changes to everything else on top of that. So this is why the master track is used when it comes to adding adding effects right here. So how do you add effects to clips, if we click this right here, which is seems hidden, but if you click this, this should pop up.

This is where you can add a class where you can also find find effects. If we toggle back to our effects tab, there are effects right here. And let's say if you search noise, you have noise reduction and move on and stuff like that right here, but you can also find it right here. So that's why I'm going to be using once again the first step, which is pretty much the same. So if we want our noise reduction to track this whole clip right here, what we can do is find it right here and just add the noise reduction right here and click the noise. You can drag it up right here or Then bypass it or check or check on check on or off bypass I'm sorry, right here you can add the amount and stuff like that.

But I have way more options when it comes to the first step. So that's why I'm going to be using it by clicking undo I'm going to remove it and but I think that I wanted to discuss right here is as you can see, we have the mute track. Sorry, we have the mute track, we have the solo track and right here where it should be the keyframe we have enabled track for recording so we can record throughout singular track right here, and it's pretty simple just by clicking it. And right here. We have this master thing but I'm going to explain something else right here. We have this check on right.

But this is going to do is for example, if we have our we have our keyframes checked on and they're being recorded or they're being changes being made. just checked this, we have changes being made right here. Maybe we want to change this gradually slow it down, I mean, decrease the decibels and then increase it high fast, we can actually animate that with our keyframes. And if we switch up to touch, what's been moving around is going to record that and apply to our clip. As let's say recorded keyframe action, and once we remove our finger is going to get it back to where it started, when it comes to large is going to actually keep it where we finished. For example, if we are recording our keyframes and we're dragging it down, when it comes to this touch, it's going to once we remove our finger from our mouse is going to automatically bring it back to zero where four four latch is going to stay where it is.

It's pretty, pretty simple, of course, but I forgot to mention as you can just go Right here and change up these right here and track them left or right. You don't have to drag this one. And right here, if we right click this, it has an option which is add audio sub mix track. You're probably wondering what that is, let's say we add the items to mix track and it appears right here. So we're going to recognize it by name, or how it's darker than every other track. Why is that because we want it to pop out.

For example, we can actually control specific tracks with this. Remember how master track controlled both of these? Well, with sub sub mix track, we can actually control for example, if we want only to control one and two, and not actually use master to control everything. We can add a sub mix track, let's say we want the noise reduction only in our second and our first in our second audio track. We're going to add some extra for that we're called the master will To use literally all of these. So if you actually click on this, it where it has only math where it had only master right there, you should see some mix of fear.

So if we check that and check it on the other one, let's say and drop this down, go right here somewhere. Yeah, right here where it is, make sure this clip right here at the noise reduction of my alarm just went off, sorry. So we actually the noise reduction, it should only affect these two, which we switched up to submit. And that is really useful. But of course, you can just if you work in the effects tab, you can just drag on one clip, then copy the clip once you finish it and just apply attributes to the other ones. And that should actually be it when it comes to basics, from audio editing in Premiere Pro.

Thank you for being here. I hope you had a lot of fun. We explained these basics now. And right now it's going to get easier and easier. We're going to have a lot of fun. I'm gonna be honest This lesson was a bit boring, but we had to discuss these things.

So right now, we're going to hop into some pretty fun things and in the next lesson I'm going to explain what noise in your clip actually is how to stop noise before actually start recording in your clip, and how to remove record. Remove noise, I'm sorry, from your recording using Premiere Pro. So that's pretty cute. If you want to check it out. Go check our next lesson and let's keep learning out
