Question

Audition export to Premiere?

We are recording a podcast with a company in their Streamyard account. The company then sends it to their audio editor and he edits the audio including cutting out sections that are lulls/uninteresting etc. He is using Adobe Audition to do the audio editing. Is there anyway for him to send us a type of a file where we can take his work that he has done and apply it to the video file and it will conform to the finished podcast in video format? We use adobe premiere, normally if we are editing audio with our team we are editing the audio in ProTools after the video is edited, so it's the opposite of what we need to do with this situation. In this situation the audio editor goes to work first, the producer and audio editor decide what the final podcast product is, but we want to take it and apply it to video as quickly and easily as possible, and be able to post the podcast to YouTube episodes as well as the audio episodes.

I agree with Steve ... editing the audio part then trying to match the video is a nasty morass awaiting.

 

The way Premiere and Audition work together though, there's no reason your audio guy couldn't do the cuts in Premiere ... subclip maybe ... or I'd do a simple pancake stacked timelines, with the full clip on the upper timeline, a timeline below for the cut version. As you scrub through the full clip, make quick cuts & grab a bit from the full video in the upper timeline, drag down to the cuts timeline below.

 

When done, have them do a render & replace to the cut timeline, to say ProRes422 or Cineform or DNxHD/R.

 

Then the audio guy sends the project file and the clips from the render & replace folder to you to edit from.

    If you want to edit audio and then apply it to some sort of video after the fact, and you want it in sync, then you're in nightmare territory! If that isn't what you want to do, then I don't understand your description of the process, and you will have to explain in more detail. But regardless of that, if your editor saves the edited audio result as a wav file, you can open it in Premiere. What Audition won't do at all is to resync edited audio back to a video file, so if you were thinking that this is how it might work, then I'm afraid I have to disappoint you.

      Dang. That's what we figured. But hoped for a trick we hadn't tried before. LOL. 

      Yes company's process is:

      1. Record multiple podcast guests to Streamyard, both audio and video.

      2. Send to producer and audio editor, and edit for content.

      3. We can then edit video with our team if we want to release a Youtube video version of the podcast. That's up to us and our team, it's not part of the agreement with the company for the audio podcast.

      But they will send us the Streamyard recording or the final audio for the podcast or some kind of Audition file if it helps us.

      We don't want to post the video version of the podcast in full.

      So

      a. we would have to edit for content all over again (a 45 minute conversation gets cut down into 25 or 30 really good minutes).

      b. we would have to edit the audio all over again (there are some people who sit 10 ft away from their microphone and no matter how we work with them during the "warm up" before we start the interviews and conversations, some of them have terrible audio that needs to be edited just for their portion of the interview.)

      So all of that work would have to be done all over again and we don't have the budget to do it with our team. and we were hoping for some kind of an EDL type of thing with Audition and Premiere Pro that went the opposite direction, instead of audio conforming to edited video, video would conform to edited audio.

      Funny that it's never been figured out, but oh well. 

      Thanks for your help Steve!
