hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I mean I'm Ignace Aleya and today it's another
filmmaking Friday
hello I'm wearing something colorful today but it's actually really good
wetter in Belgium and trust me that's very unique so but I'm sitting inside to
make a tutorial for you guys because I love you so in this tutorial I will be
talking about the new updated Adobe Premiere Pro released in April two
thousand eighteen called audio ducking this is an autumn eyes duay to duck your
audio and ducking audio is actually having a song or audio below your
interview or any kind of sound and then once the interview or the speech comes
the music actually gets lower and then once the speech is done it gets louder
again so let's jump into the with Premiere Pro see what the update
contains and how to work with it it's super awesome if you're doing long kind
of interviews or tutorials like me and you want to have a nice background sound
but before we start I want to also let you know that if you're gonna use a
background song for your video make sure that it's a very nice and interesting
song with a lot of variation in that song because if you have a video without
the song and you just talk in a video or you have a video with a bad song below
it it's actually worse it does more harm to your video to add a kind of painful
song to listen to and that will actually distract the audience from watching your
video but on the other hand if you have a very nice song it actually grabs the
attention from your audience because you have more dynamic video a more vibrant
video as it contains a little bit more layers in the audio channel and a great
place to find great music for background music for example is on my french
channel called La Vito beats he makes awesome awesome beats and they're
completely instrumental well most of his videos are instrumental beats so that's
ideal to put below a speech because you don't want a song with text otherwise
your audience is gonna get distracted whether it's a lyrics or if it's actual
the speech of the interview so make sure that your song doesn't contain any words
and just instrumentals so head off to La Vito beats all his beats are completely
for free all you have to do is kind of mention him
within the video that you're making for YouTube and if you want a royalty-free
you can also go and buy it from him but he's a great guy and it's not
because he's my friend that I like to use his music because I have plenty of
places to find music and I'm completely free and using whatever I want but
honestly I always find what I want on his channel so I really like the style
and you might do as well so I'll put a link in the description so you can go
ahead and check it out and it's completely for free
so why not give it a try so let's jump into Adobe Premiere Pro see what you are
you're ducking contains before we continue this video I would like to
present you our website designed for filmmakers and video editors to improve
their workflow we offer templates presets high-quality pre-made packs
soundscapes essential graphics and much more if you don't have time to create
something of your own or you just want to speed up your workflow definitely
check out our website with a link in the description below alright so here we
have a timeline that I've prepared for this video we have some clips with audio
and it doesn't really matter if they're split up or if there is just no audio
below it it could also contain an entire video where the speech here is kind of
muted and that's completely up to you but yeah I didn't have a kind of silent
moment within my video so I actually had to kind of slice it up but usually how
you would go around ducking your audio is by going right over here and kind of
making this layer a little bit bigger and I'm clicking on a keyframe for the
audio level right here then move a little bit forward and then click on a
new keyframe for word click on another keyframe and then right here and click
on a keyframe and what you would do is actually bring this down and then this
down to a specific kind of DC bail level and that's a great way to do it so you
have a low volume and then it moves up because here is no no kind of speech so
the audio gets on its regular level which is pretty cool but imagine you're
doing this for a video from 2 hours long and interview where you have a lot of
variation you have a lot of ducking to do you're gonna spend some time here
it's gonna take you a long time so what Premiere Pro did and
the new update right here is actually completely autumn eyes and this working
method so we're gonna undo everything so we have a clean audio file to work with
and what we want to do is actually go to window and open up the essentials sound
which is a great new tool that is recently introduced in Adobe Premiere
Pro you can do a lot about your tweaking women Premiere Pro which is great you
don't have to use any external software but what you want to do is actually
select your speech go to the loudness so dialogue and then loudness and click on
the automatic button right here then go to your song and also go to the music
loudness automesh okay so that's already done you can see what that actually does
to my music and now what you want to do is click on the music simply go to the
new ducking tab right here and now you can actually choose word to duck against
so it can either be sound effect speech music it doesn't really matter but in
this case it's actually a speech so we're gonna select this icon right here
then you can choose the sensitivity that's actually how many seconds you
want in between the clip to to reduce the ducking I suppose and then we have
the phase here so I'm going to increase the fades a little bit increase the
sensitivity to like 10 and then reduce it by let's say 14 so once you chose
your settings right here you can simply click on generate keyframes and
automatically you will see that you created some keyframes free and right
here within your timeline so you can see right here that every time there is no
speech the audio actually gets louder so it actually moves it up so imagine this
being in an actual video and where these silence is actually for example right
here we can also do this by decreasing the sensitivity to something like for
generate the keyframes just as an example
we can see right here there is no speech and I didn't kind of cut this video clip
you can still see that right here the music gets louder because there is no
speech here whatsoever so that's basically it you just click one button
you have audio ducking enabled it doesn't matter if your video was two
hours long five hours long one hour long or just one minute long it's it's just a
very quick and easy way to kind of get a more dynamic tone within your video all
right so that's basically it I hope you enjoyed this video if you did give this
