Audition - Restoring Original

Premiere Pro CC v7.2.1

Win7 Pro 64-bit

In Premiere, you have a clip which was edited via "Edit clip in Adobe Audition".

Premiere never changes the original clip, it creates a separate audio file which Premiere uses.

You later reopen the project in order to restore that clip to the original.

There does not appear to be a "restore original audio" menu item for the clip.

How do you restore the clip audio to the original?

Thanks in advance.

    Jim - Before submitting this as a Feature and Bug request to

    Feature Request/Bug Report Form

    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

    Please let me know if the following correctly summarizes the situation.

    If it does, I  hope you and others will also submit it. Thanks.

    In the Premiere Pro CC v7.2.1 timeline, when you edit a clip via "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition",

    Premiere never changes the original clip. It creates a separate audio WAV and PKF in the bin.

    If you re-edit the clip, Audition creates a new WAV and PKF with "Audio Extracted" appended to the filename.

    This leaves multiple WAV and PKF files for the same clip which is annoying.

    If you later reopen the project in order to edit the original, there are issues.

    In the timeline, if you select the audio part of the clip, the "Edit Original" is grey.

    In the Project window, if you select one of the WAV files for the clip in the bin,

    the "Edit Original" menu item for the clip does not edit the original - it opens Windows Media Player.

    This Is A Bug. In the timeline, one should be able to select the audio, then select "Edit Original", and have it edit the original.

    Also, it should delete all the previous multiple WAV and PKF files.

    There Is Also A Major Feature Missing. One should be able to "Restore Original".

    Specifically, in the timeline, one should be able to select the audio, then select "Restore Original", and have Premiere place the original audio back.

    Premiere should also delete all the WAV  and PKF files for the clip.


    Edit Original isn't designed to do what you're thinking.  That feature is working correctly.

    The issue is that PP simply does not have the feature that you need.  So here's what I suggest submitting:

    *******Enhancement / FMR*********

    RESTORE ORIGINAL

    I'd like to get the option to undo both the "Replace with After Effects Composition" and "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" commands, even after the project has been closed and Undo is no longer available.  A simple right click>"Restore Original" command would return the clip to it's original state before the Replace or Edit commands were initiated.

    Why is this feature important to you?

    Editors make mistakes.  This gives us a simple method to undo or even redo the work without having to manually find and replace the affected clips.

    This would be a good feature to add, for now, I will just open the unrendered Audtion file, copy it, and paste it into the new rendered file.

    No it didn't work, all my clips lost their audio

    Because Premier won't replace clip without resetting the clip's in point, this has now added an extra day to my current editing task.

    I wish Adobe would fix the simple things.

    I think I've found a method of sorting this out in CC, seems to have worked for me.

    I am working on a project from my assistant and she lost the Audition files with a broken hard drive (she never had a clone, punishable by torture - I know...).

    All the clips came from one cut up longer clip, so re-syncing them was going to be a real ball ache.

    I right clicked the clip and selected "Restore Unrendered" and it gave me back the original audio, which I will need to edit in Audition again because it's so soft, but at least I didn't have to resync,

    Hope this helps

    Petrula i had the same problem and found a way to deal with this:

    #Right Click on the Footage in the timeline in premiere
    # make media offline
    # relink the media and choose the original files (make sure automatic relinking of other offline clips is off)

    Go back to the bin and find it there.

    It appears everytime you edit using Audition, Premiere adds a new wave file to the bin.

    If you select one of the wav files in the bin, there is a "Edit original" in the context menu for it. However, it opens the Windows Media Player.

    If you delete all the wav files, the clip in the sequence tab only has the video, but not the audio i.e. the audio is deleted.

    So what are the exact steps to restore the original audio for the clip?

    Thanks

    Go back to the bin and find the original audio.

    There's no automatic way to do this.  You'll need to manually replace the clips in question.

    Would make for a good feature request, though.  "Undo Replace... " I see it being very helpful for both Audition clips and Dynamically Linked AE comps.
