Hey, guys, what's up?
And welcome back to the China Now today.
I'm going to be talking to you about a feature within Premiere Pro
that's been recently added and by the title it is really you can tell
this is the remix function or the remix feature.
Now, this has been around quite a while, but it hasn't been embedded within
premium for itself.
You have had to export this or, you know, edit this in audition,
and then we import that edited
or the remix track back into Premiere Pro.
But now they've made it a lot more easier.
And this is something that I actually use all the time with my videos.
I'm doing a lot of 32nd ads I don't want to take a three minute track
and bring it down to 30 seconds, but I want to keep the parts
that I'm interested in at least I wanted to have a nice intro,
some parts in middle and then definitely the ultra at the end of the video.
And if you're new to this channel,
definitely subscribe if you want to see more content like this.
And without further ado,
let's jump over to the computer and do a little bit of remixing.
Okay then, guys.
So here we are in Premiere Pro
and this is a product that we are going to be working with in today's example.
So what I'm going to do is play you through this sequence
so you can have an idea of where the music is in this particular one
so you can see what the song with the intro.
If we can look on here, you can kind of see the waveform
and it builds up and is a very long build up
until it gets to this point right here.
This is drag on here closer to here, just to the end here and see where we are.
And it starts building
Okay.
So I have decided that I would like to use this song, but I want to start it
from where it's a little bit you know, a little bit more heavy here.
So we're going to leave out the intro part of it.
But I want to start right here because that's where things get
a little bit more uptempo And that's kind of more of the vibe
for the video, in my opinion.
Right? So
what I'm going to do in
this case is I'm going to select my endpoint here,
and then I'm just going to leave the endpoint
and the end of the track, as we can see right here.
I'm going to do it then and drag that onto my timeline.
I just delete this one that we have done previously.
So I'll drag this onto my timeline, place it here,
but as we can see, the track is a way long.
I really want to have that part where we started there.
And also, I do want to have the ending so this is what the ending is like,
and this is where we going to end the video as well.
Okay.
So once we have the music track selected, there's a few ways we can go
about finding the remix tool.
So the first way of doing is we can right click on here,
go to remix and hit any remix button right
here, or we can go to clip
we're going to come down to remix
any of the remix. We can do that as well.
A third way of doing this is making sure that the clip is selected
and we've got all the essential sound panel open.
We just select the music tab, and if we go to edit and select
duration, just say we just take this box right here by taking up books.
We would have enabled the remix function and it's ready for remix.
And so what you can do right here in the target Jewish
and you can set education to whatever is you want.
So in this case, we're going to just change it from one minute 39
to 30 seconds.
And on Friday inspection, if we look at this audio track right here,
we can see where the software has cut the song and is try to do as best.
So we going to just kind of play that back and see what it is that it's
done for us.
And Okay, great.
So now, you know, in my opinion, this has done a very good job of take off
in the bits that I need.
Like I said especially, I needed the outro to be as it was,
and it just kind of cut and seamlessly repaired the track in the middle.
And you can see my, the zig zag lines away it's done there to repair
where it's cut it and it's kind of just fitted in back.
Just really well.
Just one thing to note, if we come back to the essential sound panel right here,
we can see that we set our target Jewish and for the remix to be 30 seconds
but it's returned a remix duration of 33 seconds.
No that is because of the tolerance that this works on.
No it allows plus or minus 5 seconds either
side of this duration or the target duration that you set.
So don't get too worried or scared about that.
Every music and every music track is different.
Sometimes it just has to allow that amount of time
to be able to remix it and to purchase it properly.
Well, you can go ahead and do is this just kind of tweak this?
If we took this song, for example, if that 33 seconds was too long,
if we changed target duration to 26 seconds,
we can now see that the remix duration is now actually 26 seconds,
which is a lot more accurate than the last one that we did.
But in any case, you'll be able to tweak this
and get this exactly to where you want, you know, even if you had to shift
your track on the timeline a little bit just to accommodate for that.
Now you can also customize the results of the remix that was returned from me.
If you look over here, we have a customized dropdown,
if you can see it to hit the jump down here, jump down arrow
code, customize and we can tweak these
two sliders to change the output, for example, undetermined.
And we can see we have three cuts here.
So that left us with like four segments on here.
And what we can do
is customize if we drag it to the left to reduce the amount.
You can see the clip analyzing here I know we only have one cut right here,
which leaves us with, you know, two thirds segments or two parts of the song.
So you do have those two options that would offer you
a little bit more flexibility in your edits. Right?
And that is the remix function that is now embedded within Premiere Pro.
