Uses of Text
If you are creating a video project that includes text, using Adobe Premiere Pro text effects can
give your project a more professional and exciting look. Text effects can be used to opening
titles, on-screen dialogue, ending credits, and lower thirds.
To add text, navigate to Window > Essential Graphics. Use the Text Tool (T) to type your text.
This will be one layer of your text effects project. You can select the Text layer in the Edit tab to
view its properties.
Adobe Premiere Pro comes with some pre-animated text templates within the Essential Graphics
panel. Navigate to Graphics > Essential Graphics to browse through the templates. Once you find
one you like, drag it to the timeline where you want it to appear.
Within the Effects Controls panel, you can center the text with the Align and Transform tools,
change the font using the Text tool, and adjust the color or add a drop shadow with the
Appearance tool.
Uses of Text :Text Reveal
A text reveal hides your text under an object, like a wall as it gradually appears.
 Import your video footage and add it to your timeline.
 Use the Type Tool to type the words you want to appear over your clip.
 Use the Selection Tool to place your text where you want it.
 On the timeline, match the length of the text layer to match the video clip.
 Select the video footage on the timeline, hold down Alt or Option, and drag the clip to the
V3 track to create a duplicate.
 Navigate to the Effect Controls window, open the Opacity tool, and select the Free Draw
Bezier Tool that looks like a pen.
 In the Program window, draw a rectangle around your text.
 At the bottom of the Program window, adjust the Fit to 100% to get a better view of your
work.
 In the Effect Controls window, choose the Mask feature, and adjust the Mask Feather
value to match the sharpness of the border you’re creating to the background.
 With the duplicate clip selected, click on Mask Path in the Effect Controls window. This
will show you the mask you created.
 Click on the stopwatch button next to Mask Path to create your first keyframe.
 Press the right arrow key on the keyboard 5 times. This will move the clip 5 frames
forward. Adjust the mask position to line up with your reference edge. This will add
another keyframe. Repeat this process until you reach the end of the clip.
 When played back, your text should gradually appear across the footage.

View Audio clips


Open the Essential Sound panel in Adobe Premiere Pro
In Adobe Premiere Pro, select the Audio Workspace preset, or choose Workspace > Essential
Sound to reveal the all new Essential Sound panel with Adobe Stock audio built right in. Make
sure you click Browse at the top of the panel so you can explore the extensive library.
You’ll notice that the Browse tab in the Essential Sound panel has a search bar, as well as three
options to help limit your results: Mood, Genre, and Filters.
Search for Adobe Stock audio
Use the search bar to search for keywords, or simply just start limiting your results by Mood,
Genre, Tempo, Vocals, etc.
In our example, we’re posting a short road trip video we shot last summer to our social media
accounts. So we’ll search for the key words, “road trip” and select “Dance” for our Genre to
limit our results.
Audition music options
Adobe Premiere Pro’s powerful Timeline Sync lets you preview any Adobe Stock audio cue, in
perfect time with your video - even before you import the asset to your project!
Note that there’s a checked box at the bottom of the Essential Sound Panel next to Timeline
Sync.
With that enabled, park your timeline’s playhead anywhere in your timeline where you anticipate
starting the music cue. In our case, we’ll be playing from the first frame so we’ll start there. Next
identify a music cue in your search results you’d like to preview and click the play button next to
the cue name.
When you decide to preview a different track, all you have to do is click the play button next to
the new track name and the playhead in your timeline will jump back to your initial starting point
for a fresh preview.
Note that the outpoint in your timeline is dictated by the duration of the music cue you are
previewing and will update with each new cue you play.

Types of Audio Tracks


In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can edit audio, add effects to it, and mix as many tracks of audio in
a sequence as your computer system can handle. Tracks can contain mono or 5.1 surround
channels. In addition, there are standard tracks and adaptive tracks.
The Standard audio track can cope with both mono and stereo in the same track. That is, if you
set your audio track to Standard, you can use footage with different types of audio tracks on the
same audio track.
You can choose different kinds of tracks for different kinds of media. For example, you could
choose for mono clips to be edited only onto mono tracks. You can choose for multichannel
mono audio be directed to an Adaptive track by default.
To work with audio, first import it into a project or record it directly to a track. You can import
audio clips or video clips that contain audio.
After the audio clips are in a project, you can add them to a sequence and edit them just like
video clips. You can also view the waveforms of audio clips and trim them in the Source
Monitor before adding the audio to a sequence.
You can adjust volume and pan/balance settings of audio tracks directly in
the Timeline or Effect Controls panels. You can use the Audio Track Mixer to make mixing
changes in real time. You can also add effects to audio clips in a sequence. If you are preparing a
complex mix with many tracks, consider organizing them into submixes and nested sequences.
Audio tracks in a sequence
A sequence can contain any combination of the following audio tracks:
 Standard - The standard track replaces the previous stereo track type. It can
accommodate both mono and stereo audio clips.
 Mono - A mono track contains one audio channel. A mono track will either reproduce the
channel so that the left and right channels are playing the same, homogenized recording,
or will play through only one of the left or right channels. If a stereo clip is added to a
mono track, the stereo clip channels are summed to mono by the mono track.
 Stereo track - A stereo track is dual channel audio. A stereo track is audio that is
recorded in two channels, one left, one right.
 Adaptive track - The adaptive track can contain mono, stereo, and adaptive clips. With
adaptive tracks, you can map source audio to output audio channels in the way that
works best for your workflow. This track type is useful for working with audio from
cameras that record multiple audio tracks. Adaptive tracks can also be used when
working with merged clips, or multicam sequences.

Audio Track Mixer


Use the Audio Track Mixer in Premiere Pro to edit audio and create a professional project.
The Audio Track Mixer is one of the most overlooked pieces of video production. Understanding
how it works can save hours of editing and enable more professional sounding project.
You can edit audio tracks using the Audio Track Mixer or the Audio Clip Mixer. The difference
is:
 The Audio Track Mixer controls tracks.
 The Audio Clip Mixer controls individual audio clips in each track. For more information,
see Audio Clip Mixer.
Audio Track Mixer

Each Audio Track Mixer track corresponds to a track in the timeline of the active sequence
and displays the Timeline audio tracks in an audio console layout.

The Audio Track Mixer contains a certain number of audio track sliders that directly correspond
to the number of audio tracks available in the Timeline. When you add a new audio track to the
Timeline, a new track is created in the Audio Track Mixer. You can rename a track by clicking
its name. You can also use the Audio Track Mixer to record audio directly into a sequence’s
tracks.

The Audio Track Mixer represents the tracks in the active sequence only, not all project-wide
tracks. If you want to create a master project mix from multiple sequences, set up a master
sequence and nest other sequences within it.

The Audio Track Mixer is hidden by default in most Premiere Pro workspaces. To open the
Audio workspace, click Windows > Audio Track Mixer.

Transition
A transition is an effect added between pieces of media to create an animated link between
them. Transitions are used to move a scene from one shot to the next. Premiere Pro provides a
list of transitions that you can apply to a sequence. A transition can be a subtle crossfade or a
stylized effect.

Stabilize a clip
Step 1: Import your media.
Bring the video clips you want to stabilise into Premiere Pro. You can do this in one of three
ways:
 Select File › Import from Media Browser.
 Right-click the file in the Media Browser and select Import.
 Drag the file from the Media Browser into the Project panel or drag the file from the
Media Browser into a timeline.
If you already have an existing sequence, drag the clip you want to stabilise into the Timeline. If
not, right-click and select New Sequence from Clip.
Step 2: To maintain good performance, split your clip into the smallest working area.
Warp Stabilizer is a memory-intensive and time-consuming operation. While it lets you continue
working in Premiere Pro during processing, it will be a little slower. Once Warp Stabilizer
completes the stabilising stage, Premiere Pro returns to the normal state. To help with this, first
identify the shaky portion of the footage and then split the clip to isolate those shaky parts. Then,
run Warp Stabilizer only on those shortened clips.
To split clips, move the playhead to the points in the tracks where you want to make a split.
Make sure the channels you want to split are highlighted. If you want to split the audio with the
video, make sure the audio track is highlighted too. Splitting and moving the video without the
audio may cause your audio to go out of sync elsewhere.

Step 3: Apply the Warp Stabilizer to the shaky clip


First, select the clip you want to stabilise. Then, in the Effects panel, choose Distort › Warp
Stabilizer. Next, apply the effect by double-clicking or by dragging the effect to the clip in the
Timeline or the Effect Controls panel.
After the effect is added, analysis of the clip begins immediately in the background. Remember
that, depending on the size of your clip, this can take a while. You can watch the progress of the
Stabilizer in the Project panel. As analysis begins, the first of two banners indicates that analysis
is occurring. When analysis is complete, the second banner moves along to show that
stabilisation is happening. You are free to work with the footage or elsewhere in the project
while these steps are occurring.
Step 4: Adjust the stabilisation for the look you want.
Once the Stabilizer has finished working, you can examine your work and make adjustments to
ensure the video features everything you need to see in the shot.

Methods to Improve sound quality

1. Select the ‘Effects’ tab and select ‘Audio effects’. Search for ‘Denoiser’. Unsurprisingly
this reduces background noise.
2. Drag the effect to your clip in the timeline.
3. Under the ‘Effect Controls’ tab click ‘Edit’, under custom setup for ‘Denoiser’. Don’t be
afraid to tweak the values here, but I’d suggest starting with a ‘Reduction’ of -17db and
an ‘Offset’ of 10.
4. The ‘Lowpass’ effect can also be useful. Search for and drag the effect to the clip as we
did with Denoiser. Then click edit. I’d start with a cutoff of 200hz, but again, you need to
find the right settings for your audio.

2) Reverb

When you talk in a large room and your voice echoes slightly? That’s reverb, or reverberation.
The Reverb effect can be great for conveying a sense of space, either to reinforce a visual or to
subtly hint at something that wasn’t in the shot.

1. Select the ‘Effects’ tab and select ‘Audio effects’. Search for ‘Reverb’.
2. Drag this to your clip in the timeline.
3. Under the ‘Effect Controls’ tab, to the right of ‘Reverb’ is a preset button. You’ll find
options like small room, large room, and church.
4. If you want more control click edit and / or adjust your ‘Individual Parameters’.
A useful tip is to watch the Individual Parameters change when you select a new preset. This
gives you a feel for how those changes sound in practice, and how the parameters combine. Also,
don’t overdo a Reverb. A subtle effect is often best.

3) The Equaliser

Bassy audio getting you down? Large variation in the audio quality or balance between separate
tracks? We can sort that out quickly and easily with the Equaliser or EQ effect.

1. You know the drill by now. Select the ‘Effects’ tab and select ‘Audio effects’. Search for
‘EQ’.
2. Drag the effect to your clip in the timeline.
3. Under the ‘Effect Controls’ tab, to the right of ‘EQ’ is a preset button with options like
Bass enhance, warm presence, high enhance and loudness.
4. If you want more granular control click ‘Edit’ and you’ll get a pop up box with an audio
wave and adjusters for the different frequencies. The wave will be a straight line by
default, but as you adjust the different frequencies, or select different presets, you’ll see
the line shift to reflect your changes. So if you emphasise the bass, for example, the left-
hand side of the line moves up.

Record a voice over on an audio track from the time line

Step 1: Voice-Over Record Settings


Depending on your setup, you can use your computer’s built-in mic or an external microphone.
To select the microphone, right-click or control-click in the header area of the selected audio
track, then click on Voice-Over Record Settings. This will launch a dialog box where you can
adjust several preferences, including:
 Name — Name the VO file prior to recording.
 Source/Input — Change the input here to select the Audio-Technica USB microphone.
 Countdown Sound Cues — This provides audio cues to alert you prior to recording.
 Pre/Postroll — Change the duration of pre and post-roll visual cues prior to recording.
 Audio Levels — Check my microphone levels.

Step 2: Select a File Path

After setting up the microphone and adjusting the preferences, you can specify where your audio
will record to on your drive. To do this, go to Project Settings > Scratch Disks. Then go
to Captured Audio and select where you would like these audio VO files to record, whether you
want them to save in the same area as the project, your documents folder, or a custom
location. In the above example, I leave them in the default path. Notice that there’s a subfolder
created with the title Adobe Premiere Pro Captured Audio.

Step 3: Record the Voice-Over

You can
find a voice-over record button in your audio track header area. If you don’t see
it, right/control click on the header and select Reset Layout. Make sure you select the correct
track when pressing the record button. If you simply press the voice over record button, the
recording will start from the current playhead position.
You can select In and Out points on your timeline to control the duration of the the recording.
Remember to rename your files each time you record a new voice over, otherwise it will
revert to the last name you typed in with a simple number on it.
