- Hello, I'm Mike Russell from musicradiocreative.com.
In this video, I'll show you how to make an audio spectrum
in Adobe Premier Pro,
no external software or plugins required.

Check out my Premier Pro audio presets.
If you're working with dialogue, different microphones,
or you need to do some noise reduction in your videos,
you need these audio presets.
Head over to mrc.fm/presets to download them now.

- Okay, so why would you wanna do this?
Well, sometimes you are recording a podcast.
Hello, I'm Mike Russell and welcome to my podcast.
Okay, that's great.
Obviously this time I got video, so I could upload that
but sometimes, just sometimes,
you'll find that podcasts are audio-only.
Today, not only would I like it to go out as...
And that doesn't look very good if we render it out
as a video and put it on YouTube, for example.
So we need an audio spectrum.
Now I have done a detailed video before on my channel
about creating audio spectrums
and audio visualizes in Adobe After Effects.
And you can do that, it's a lot more work, a lot more tools,
but you can do it inside Adobe Premier Pro,
it's pretty easy.
Now, while you can't animate
the audio spectrum to the audio, it does look really good
and I'll show you how to make it work.
First of all, you go to the graphics workspace
and you wait to get into the Adobe stock area
where you will search for waveform over here.
So do a little search in the search bar for waveform
and you wanna search for free Adobe stock waveform.
Okay, so let's do waveform.
There we go, free waveform Adobe stock.
Enter, and there it is, the waveform grid.
Now it's free to use,
so I can just literally drag and drop this onto my project
and wait for it to do its thing.
And of course if it's not quite big enough
to fit my project, I can make that a little bit bigger
using effect controls so it fills the screen.
There we go.
Hello, I'm Mike Russell and welcome to my podcast.
Now I think you'll agree that actually looks pretty decent.
And when it's rendered out, it'll be high quality of course.
But notice that I've imported this
and I now have all these things to edit
so I can actually edit this
and make this my corporate color.
Say red was my corporate color,
I can go in and select the red colors here
and look at this, look at how beautiful this is.
I can really create something that looks amazing.
If I want, I can have red and yellow for my grid color,
get something really funky, and so much I can do.
I can change the bar height here so I can get a unique look.
The bar thickness as well to make those a little thinner.
The bar amount if I want loads of EQ bars
or make it a little simpler like that.
And now let's play.
Not only would I like it to go out as...
And it looks good.
Now, while it's not syncing exactly to my audio,
it's not that clever.
It is looking pretty convincing.
You can change the bar shadow opacity as well if we want.
We can add dots to the top, we can do motion blur.
I mean, there's just so much inside this template.
I'm Mike Russell and welcome to my podcast.
So as you can see, it's taking a while to render here,
but when I actually export this video,
it's gonna look absolutely amazing.
We can change the grid width as well if we want,
so we can do all the stuff like that.
As you can see, it's now changing.
We can change the grid thickness.
Just so much to get that waveform
dialed into exactly what we want it to be.
And it's pretty amazing for something
native inside Adobe Premier Pro,
no plugins, no outside software required.
Just browse through the Adobe stock section,
tick free, search for waveform, look for waveform grid,
have fun, customizing it
and enjoy uploading your next podcast to YouTube
or wherever you decide to put it with an animated waveform.
Enjoy, let me know how you get on with this
