  1. If you have installed Adobe Audition, you can use the Edit In Adobe Audition command to edit an audio clip in Audition and then use the Remix tool to creatively stretch the audio to match your video duration. Select the audio track of your Premiere Pro project and choose Edit Edit in Adobe Audition Sequence. Edit in Adobe Audition dialog box.
  2. Solved: I created a multitrack session, but when I tried to export out of it, I got a 25 GB file that was almost 2 hours long, even though the actual sound - 9401354.

Song not fitting into your edit? Not a problem. Use the Remix feature in Adobe Audition to automatically rearrange any song to fit any duration.

Finding the perfect song for your video project can be a challenge. Even more frustration can arise when you find yourself struggling to make that perfect song fit into your edit. Luckily, Adobe Audition includes a Remix feature that can make the process incredibly easy and fast. The Remix feature will analyze the song, identify loops, and detect beats before automatically cutting the song into something more manageable and appropriate for your edit.

If you’re one who rarely works in Audition (and rarely moves projects from Premiere to Audition and back), then you’re going to like the simplicity of this process.

Decide on your song and your clips and go to Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition > Sequence. Then select “Send through dynamic link” for the Video Option. Jamel debbouze asterix.

Step 1. Enable Remix

As you can see above, once you hit Enable Remix, Audition will analyze the song clip in its entirety. Once analyzation is complete, you can drag the song clip to fit whatever time you need to. Audition will cut the song to the nearest 5-second mark.

Step 2. Change Duration of Song

After you’ve set the clip at the appropriate time you need, Audition offers a few more tweaks that can be incorporated into the remixed song.

Step 3. Add Adjustments to New Song

  • Edit Length allows you to add or subtract fragments of the song that Audition has remixed. The lower you set the bar, the more fragments are added to the song.
  • Features tells the algorithm to favor rhythmic beats or harmonic sounds such as orchestral segments. For more electric fast music, move the bar over to Timbre.
  • Minimum Loop notifies Audition to tighten up transitions that might seem odd due to the algorithm that sets the transition. If a segment of the song sounds off for some reason, toggle this Advanced option around to see if it helps it flow better.
  • Maximum Slack sets the remix duration to as close to the target duration as possible (since it auto-sets the duration in increments of five seconds). Adobe suggests that adjusting this parameter can lead to better sounding remixes.

Step 4. Send Back to Premiere Pro

To send the remixed song back to Premiere, mute any other audio channels currently in Audition (as you only want your song to be sent back to Premiere). Go to Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro and check “Stereo File” under the Mixdown Stereo option. Then,hit Export. This will open Premiere and you’ll be able to add the song right into your timeline!

Note: This step of the process will only work if Premiere and Audition are both current and fully updated.

Templates are a feature in Adobe Audition that I use every week. A template is simply a session (project) that is easy to access, easy to rename, but not easy to accidentally erase.

What I most like about templates is that I can save them with clips, markers, effects, track labels – everything, in fact, that’s stored in a normal session file – included in the template.

ACCESS A TEMPLATE

Templates are used for new multitrack projects. As such, you choose them whenever you create a new Multitrack session using File > New > Multitrack Session (shortcut: Cmd + N).

Templates are accessed from the Templates popup menu in the New Multitrack Session window.

NOTE: Your template list won’t match mine, as I customized my templates years ago. Audition ships with about a dozen pre-built templates.

For example, here’s the template I use to create stand-alone interviews from our weekly podcast, “Digital Production Buzz.” After each show, I extract each interview from the show and post it to the Buzz website, so audience members that are in a hurry can just listen to a single interview, as well as the entire show.

Note that this template includes:

  • Track names
  • Audio clips, with volume envelopes
  • Track effects, with custom settings
  • Named marker
  • Everything else you need to avoid creating the same settings more than once.

CREATE A TEMPLATE

Creating a template is easy, essentially you are creating a session file. BUT it helps to think about what how you want to use the template before creating it. The biggest challenge is to make sure you have only the files you want in the template listed in the Files panel.

The mistake I often make is failing to remove unneeded files, which means that the template is far larger than it needs to be and contains files that I don’t want or need.

To remove a file from the Files panel, highlight it, then press the Delete key.

The next step is to triple-check that all files, markers, volume settings and effects are EXACTLY as you want them saved. Since the goal of any template is to reduce repetitive work, creating a template that you need to spend time “fixing” each time you use it is not helpful.

SAVE A TEMPLATE

Once you are sure your template is polished and ready for saving, choose File > Export > Session as Template.

Change

In the resulting dialog, give the template a name that makes sense, because from here on out, you’ll only see it in a menu.

If you want all your adjustments – including markers – to be saved with the template (and I strongly recommend you do so), make sure the Include markers… checkbox is checked.

Then, click OK.

NOTE: Notice that I didn’t change the storage location? That was intentional. In general, you want your templates to be accessible, but not easy to erase accidentally. The default location meets those criteria.

To verify the template was created successfully, choose File > New > Multitrack Session. You’ll find your new template in the Template popup menu.

Notice, also, that the Session Name defaults to some version of “Untitled Session #”. This allows you to use a template to create a new, unique session at any time.

DELETE TEMPLATES

Templates are stored in the User folder which, while not invisible, is not readily apparent. While there are several ways to open this folder, the easiest is to open your Macintosh HD hard drive, then double-click Users.

Adobe Audition Change Duration App

Open Users > Shared > Adobe > Audition and inside one of the numbered folders that corresponds to the location you stored your initial template in (see the Saving screen shot above), you’ll find both Adobe’s templates, as well as any custom templates that you’ve created.

Feel free to get rid of any templates you don’t want, however, these don’t take a lot of space. So, if you are just starting to use templates keep everything until you see what each template does and whether you can use it.

Once a template is trashed, it is gone and can’t be recreated.

SUMMARY

I find templates invaluable – they save me time every week, they are easy to customize and they make using Audition even faster and more precisely suited to my needs.

I encourage you to give them a try.
