Edit in Audition is greyed out in PPro CC

Have an audio clip in my PPro CC timeline. Right-clicking it shows "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" as greyed out.  (Edit video clip in After Effects works fine)

    Correct answer Kevin-Monahan

    Hi Nickolas,

    Thanks for your troubleshooting idea to merely reboot. I'll summarize the issue for others:

    If you can't "Edit in Audition" try these steps.

    • Reboot the computer
      • See if "Edit in Audition" is restored after rebooting the computer
    • Reestablish the link between the .sesx preset files and the application.
    • Uninstall and then reinstall Audition
      • See if "Edit in Audition" is restored after reinstalling the application

    Thank you,

    Kevin

    I have this problem past ago, too. Here the link what I have done before. Premiere Pro CC - DynamicLink to Audition

    But are you able to send the audio files back to premiere pro cc? Because by my Audition is it grey to open in Premiere pro. I´m still waiting of the support reply since 2 weeks.

    I start in Premier Pro, highlight an audio clip, right click, select "Edit in Audition" (which now is available as a choice since linking the .ses file to Audition), then  Audition opens with the audio file loaded, I make any changes I want in audition, then I close Audition and a dialogue box opens inviting me to save the file back to Premier Pro, which I say yes to, and then Audition closes, I'm back in Premier Pro, and the audio file changes are present after a few seconds.

    I am having the same problem. ProCC latest update, have tried all the above and still greyed out.

    IS IT NOT frustrating that this known problem is not dealt with by Adobe. Why are we wasting our time discussing it here when it should not be a problem in the first place. Clearly connections are not being made and it relates to the original design of the software.

    I am in the silly situation of 'roughly' calculating the length of .wav file I need, opening up the original file, editing it in Audition, saving it as a separate file, and then importing that into the premiere project.  We should not have to do this, it's just bad design.

      Thank you for this fix!  I was so mad after updating as I do weekly videos and audition is a big part of the process And I was having to use premiere plugins and it's just not the same. BTW if anyone doesnt find any files in the audition folder it's because you haven't saved an Audition project. Just close premiere, open audition, save a project as whatever, close audition, and then go to that folder in documents>adobe>audition>7.0 and open the .sesx file with audition. This may be common sense, but just in case.

        With Windows 7, it would not allow me to associate the .sesx extension to Audition: not in Explorer, Default Programs, or even by editing the registry. I've been working with Windows ever since 3.1 and I've never had a problem associating extensions before.  However, a simple uninstall and reinstall of just Audition fixed the problem for me.

        I have the same problem, only I'm running Win 8.1. When I go to Documents/Adobe, I don't see an Audition folder. Both machines running Win 8.1 CC 2014 and Edit in Audition is grayed out on both. Is there a solution other than the one mentioned for those running Win 7?

        Like FelixUnderwood, I'm running CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 and "Edit Clip In Adobe Audition" is grayed out. I tried the .sesx fix, and I also tried a fix suggested in another thread, involving looking up the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.prproj registry entry, but that doesn't exist on my system.

        The clip I'm trying to edit is from a multi-camera source sequence, and I've found that if I put the original source clip in the timeline, the option to edit in Audition is available. So perhaps this has to do with clips that aren't just plain audio or video? If the actual audio can be edited in Audition, however, it seems to me that Premiere should be able to send it through, regardless of whether it's coming by way of a multi-camera source or from a plain A/V clip - I shouldn't have to painstakingly replace all my multi-camera clips in order to send them to Audition!

          I had this problem and fixed it pretty quick without the need to uninstall and reinstall.

          Look for the default .sesx files in your Document/Adobe/Audition/6.0/Session Templates folder (on Windows 7)

          There should be a list of preset .sesx files. Right-click one and set its default application as Adobe Audition by using the "open with" option.

          Once I did this I double-clicked to open the .sesx files with Audition, closed it, opened Premiere Pro CC and VUAAA-LAAA the button is available and fully functional.

          Hope this helps someone!

            JoynnyZ001 thank you SO MUCH for providing a way around the above discussed problem WITHOUT having to mess about installing and uninstalling.  I'm running Adobe CC on a newly installed system and so there is no way I should be having to re-install software already - your fix worked

              The underlying mechanism for enabling that menu option, checks if Audition is installed.  The crude way Premiere checks if Audition is installed is that it checks the Windows registry for whichever application is registered to handle the file extension *.sesx or *.ses (in the case of Audition 3 and before).  If it can't find that, it will disable the menu command.

              So if you have a .sesx file from Audition, and you double-click on it, does it Actually launch Audition?

                I have the same problem with CS6, the edit clip in adobe audition is greyed out.  Worked fine with CS5.5 and Audition 3.   When double-clicking on a .sesx file Audition is not lauched.

                To be more precise, "edit in adobe audition" is working in the main menu but in the submenu "open in adobe audition" is greyed out. Thanks
