WEBVTT 00:00.360 --> 00:05.070 Phil Ebner here with video school online.com And in this tutorial I'm going to walk through how you 00:05.070 --> 00:09.210 use the central sound panel in Premiere Pro. 00:09.210 --> 00:17.610 This was released in April of 2017 when they updated the Creative Cloud version of Premiere Pro so this 00:18.270 --> 00:23.220 isn't going to walk through all the nitty gritty of how you actually add and all that kind of stuff 00:23.520 --> 00:26.370 but it's basically how this panel works. 00:26.420 --> 00:33.150 So to open that panel just go up to a window when you're in Premiere Pro window and choose a central 00:33.150 --> 00:33.600 sound. 00:33.600 --> 00:40.650 This is sort of the next level with the essential graphics panel that we've seen before as well. 00:40.650 --> 00:41.070 Awesome. 00:41.070 --> 00:46.380 So when you don't have anything selected and you open up the essential sound panel this is what you'll 00:46.380 --> 00:47.080 see. 00:47.310 --> 00:53.910 And basically what this allows you to do is quickly added different types of audio using somewhat more 00:53.910 --> 00:55.660 of a preset. 00:55.680 --> 00:58.770 You can also edit multiple clips at once. 00:58.770 --> 01:04.770 And this video right here that I have open is a good example of when you would want to really use this 01:04.860 --> 01:08.540 essential graphic essential sound panel that is. 01:08.850 --> 01:15.840 So to edit audio with this select the audio you want to add it and then you see that once you have selected 01:15.840 --> 01:21.600 you have these presets which is awesome because there's presets that are already built in. 01:21.600 --> 01:28.560 Or if you want you can save presets say you edit a podcast of yourself or a video series of yourself 01:28.590 --> 01:34.380 or you're editing a long series of videos for someone else and you're always editing someone's voice 01:34.470 --> 01:41.640 the same way you can create a preset so you don't have to reapply a bunch of settings over and over. 01:42.320 --> 01:47.910 But if you don't want to use a preset you can choose one of these other audio type assignments. 01:48.140 --> 01:53.960 So for dialogue which this is I would select dialogue and when you click that you get more options so 01:53.960 --> 01:59.600 you get your presets at the top which we saw before and these are just PRI's says that you can go through 01:59.600 --> 02:03.080 and see what they sound like if you click over the intercom. 02:03.080 --> 02:07.550 It's going to sound like the audio is coming over one of those in a intercoms. 02:07.550 --> 02:12.770 So let me put that back into the vault and you can kind of play through these some are fun some are 02:12.770 --> 02:14.120 you know more creative. 02:14.240 --> 02:17.150 Others will actually make your voice sound even better. 02:17.180 --> 02:23.240 For example balance of male voice balance female voice and podcast podcast voice are the ones that I 02:23.240 --> 02:29.420 would play around with first then below your presets you have your different editing options similar 02:29.420 --> 02:34.130 to how the Metro color panel or the essential graphics panel works. 02:34.130 --> 02:39.380 You can click on these sort of tabs and it opens going from top to bottom. 02:39.380 --> 02:46.490 Loudness is a really cool one because this allows you if you select multiple clips to match the loudness 02:46.610 --> 02:48.380 of all of the clips. 02:48.380 --> 02:54.310 Perfect for if you have multiple people that you've edited together on one sequence like this one. 02:54.320 --> 03:00.620 So here this is a promo video for a digital marketing class that I created with Diego Davola. 03:00.620 --> 03:07.010 And because we recorded separately in different environments and at different levels I had to go in 03:07.010 --> 03:09.490 and manually adjust the levels to match. 03:09.680 --> 03:15.830 But I could live with the central sound panel selected although all of my clips gone to the loudness 03:15.950 --> 03:24.020 setting and clicked auto match and that will match the audio the audio loudness next you have repair 03:24.020 --> 03:28.050 which allows you to reduce background noise or rumble. 03:28.070 --> 03:34.750 So just click on those and then increase this slider to reduce more background noise or less. 03:34.910 --> 03:40.570 You also have deep hum here so you have sort of low humming noise. 03:40.580 --> 03:45.810 It could be from an air conditioner unit in the background or something like that. 03:46.010 --> 03:49.350 You can reduce that with that checkbox. 03:49.430 --> 03:54.470 Clarity will try to make your voice a little bit more clear so just clicking on that dynamic button 03:54.800 --> 03:57.220 and increasing the slider will help that. 03:57.230 --> 04:03.350 And then you also have if you scroll down within the clarity I make this a little bit bigger we can 04:03.350 --> 04:07.570 see more of the options you have AQ with it's different presets. 04:07.580 --> 04:15.400 So again this is diving into specific editing tools within these this whole preset for dialogue. 04:15.630 --> 04:21.160 And you can choose vocal presence podcast voice over all kinds of different presets. 04:21.160 --> 04:28.620 There you have this enhanced speech option right here which we'll just automatically try to cue your 04:28.710 --> 04:30.320 voice to make it sound better. 04:30.540 --> 04:36.120 And also creative options so you have reverb that you can add and you can choose what you want it to 04:36.120 --> 04:36.980 sound like. 04:37.080 --> 04:43.400 This is good for effects if you're making more creative films but not somebody necessarily want to add 04:43.420 --> 04:46.110 for just a talking head video. 04:46.170 --> 04:51.450 And then lastly you have your clip volume so you can check those button and just increase by decibel 04:51.480 --> 04:58.720 or decrease by decibel how loud you want this clip to be or even mute it. 04:58.740 --> 05:06.360 So those are all the different options you have within the dialogue audio type if you go up and choose 05:06.420 --> 05:12.960 a preset up here so let's just go to a podcast voice you'll see that the settings are automatically 05:12.960 --> 05:13.910 adjusted. 05:14.310 --> 05:18.800 And you can always go back to individual clips and make adjustments as well. 05:18.810 --> 05:25.200 I have all of these clips selected right now and if I want to go back and edit one individually I can 05:25.200 --> 05:32.490 go into that clip and go into the essential sound panel and make edits or adjustments to that individual 05:32.490 --> 05:33.630 clip. 05:33.660 --> 05:38.550 So it's kind of similar to if you're taking the Premier Pro Seek-Seek course of mine or you've seen 05:38.550 --> 05:39.910 other tutorials of mine. 05:40.140 --> 05:47.280 It's similar to going into your effects controls and editing audio this way which is actually when you 05:47.850 --> 05:54.030 add essential sound effects or adjustments they appear under audio effects in your effects controls 05:54.360 --> 06:01.100 similar to if you make Luma street color adjustments with the loom which or color panel. 06:01.140 --> 06:08.400 It also appears here in your effect's Control Panel but it's not as easily or visually easily edited 06:08.730 --> 06:12.800 in this panel as it is with a central sound panel. 06:12.840 --> 06:16.500 The last thing I want to mention is there's these other types. 06:16.620 --> 06:22.800 So if I click I had already edited this but if I click on the music for example this is one of my favorite 06:22.800 --> 06:26.520 features of this panel I can choose music. 06:26.520 --> 06:32.430 They have different presets but the one I love is balance background music which will try to balance 06:32.430 --> 06:38.400 the audio to your dialogue because you want your music to be at a lower level than your dialogue. 06:38.430 --> 06:43.210 And so this will try to automatically balance the music to any dialogue. 06:43.230 --> 06:47.100 I've found that it's not perfect sometimes I need to drop it down a little bit lower which you can do 06:47.100 --> 06:51.270 with the clipped volume here but it's a good place to start. 06:51.270 --> 06:56.940 You also have these presets for remakes to 30 seconds 60 seconds and 90 seconds which will automatically 06:56.940 --> 07:04.800 cut down your audio or extend to 30 60 or 90 seconds which is awesome if you are editing a shorter version 07:04.860 --> 07:06.580 of a video that you have. 07:06.630 --> 07:12.750 For example if you want to make a short social media version of that cool so if you have any questions 07:12.750 --> 07:15.380 about the essentials sound panel let me know. 07:15.420 --> 07:17.840 Hopefully you understand how it works now. 07:18.000 --> 07:22.080 Next all you have to do is go and play around with the specific settings. 07:22.080 --> 07:28.980 A lot of things with audio it takes going in diving in and seeing how you actually edit it to see what 07:28.980 --> 07:29.900 actually sounds good. 07:29.910 --> 07:34.770 Like for editing audio dialogue for example I might like the podcast voice. 07:34.800 --> 07:40.560 Q preset for Diego but when I go to me I might like something else so it takes playing around with it. 07:40.560 --> 07:43.590 You also have these sliders to play around the Mount. 07:43.710 --> 07:49.590 The goal is that this makes it easy to edit audio if you're not an audio and an engineer and just by 07:49.590 --> 07:53.090 playing around you can get something that sounds really awesome. 07:53.310 --> 07:56.910 Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in another Premier Pro tutorial.
