- [Roberto] Hey everybody.
This is Roberto Blake of robertoblake.com,
helping you create something awesome today.
Welcome to another Adobe Audition tutorial.
Today, I'm gonna show you how to
extract audio from your video files,
since you can use those for a podcast or for an interview
or any other audio file that you wanna make
using something that comes from your videos.
So, one of the first things that we're gonna do
is we're actually literally gonna drag and drop
a video over here into files in Adobe Audition,
and that's automatically going to start
to generate an audio file.
You're gonna wanna click on the audio file.
It's gonna match the name of our video file.
We're gonna double click on it, and that will actually
start reading and rendering the audio for us.
It does take a little while.
So, once the audio file is done
importing and rendering here,
you can go ahead and you can check it out
and see if there's anything you need to edit
or that you need to cut.
- [Man In Audio File] Videos a week,
to doing almost daily content.
That process was not easy, as I'm sure many of you know.
I do not recommend it.
- [Roberto] In this case,
I want to lower the overall audio volume
just a little bit.
So, that's working, and that just produces a result.
The other thing is, I want to use
some of the regular features that I would use here.
I wanna normalize this just a little bit.
And I think that's just gonna be better audio.
- [Man In Audio File] Those are the bare minimums.
That's all you need to tell a good story,
to convey information, to educate an audience.
If you're an education YouTuber, that's all you need.
- [Roberto] So that sounds pretty good.
I might actually want to adjust the reverb
on this a little bit,
and let's just see what I can do.
- [Man In Audio File] The flip-out screen,
and this is how I used a camera
for like, what, two or three years
without a flip-out screen,
and still got everything in focus.
- [Roberto] I kind of wanna compare those two things.
I can just go back in my history.
- [Man In Audio File] And you know you're not gonna
move around a lot, F 1.8.
And that camera, by the way, is still a camera
that a lot of YouTubers use to this day.
Bang for the buck, though,
if you got 500 or 600 bucks--
- [Roberto] So, I like how that audio came out.
I'm just going to increase the gain a little bit.
- [Man In Audio File] And the gear can save you time,
you still have to make a quality video
at the end of the day.
- [Roberto] Alright, so I think I need to just
bump this up just a little bit more,
and then I think it's actually perfect
and we can just go ahead and export this now.
- [Man In Audio File] 80% of the features
in the software they buy go unused
throughout the majority of their career.
- [Roberto] So, this is at an appropriate level
audio-wise for me.
I think I'm actually really good with this.
So, what I'm going to do at this point
is I'm gonna go to export.
I'm gonna go to export file,
and I'm gonna save this as an mp3.
And this was my CVX live presentation,
so I'm gonna just label this "CVX Live 2017
YouTube videos on a budget"
so I know exactly what it is.
I'm just gonna save this in a folder
for speaking engagements,
and hit okay.
and I wanna save it as mp3 just because,
even though that's gonna be a law c format,
I want people to be able to grab it
and not take up a ton of file size space,
so that's what I'm gonna do here.
And that's it.
That is our final file.
So, now you know how to extract
the audio from your videos
by just pulling it directly into Adobe Audition,
and you can go ahead and grab that,
and if you have a video interview that you've done,
now you know how to set it up for your podcast.
If you have recorded a speaking engagement,
and you just wanna get the audio out to people,
now you have a practical way to do that.
And it's super easy,
just using what we have in Adobe Audition CC,
and you can even clean it up a little bit
like I showed you here.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial
on Adobe Audition.
I wanna do more of these.
I'm also listening to you guys.
A lot of you want me to cover
a few simple tutorials in After Effects.
I actually have a trick for taking audio files
and making that audio visual sound wave
in Adobe After Effects,
so if you want to see that tutorial,
I can definitely put that together.
There are a few other things
I could show you guys how to do.
Doing basic lower thirds is something
I could show you how to do in Premiere Pro,
so just let me know.
In the comments section, give me ideas
for the tutorials you want from the Adobe Creative Cloud
or from other software that you'd like to see me cover
here on the channel.
Anyway, like this video if you like it.

As always, you guys, thanks so very much for watching,
and don't forget, create something awesome today.
Take care.
