do you know what i was thinking the other day not everybody is an expert in mixing and adjusting
audio and we just sometimes just need the quick wins in order to be able to make the thing we've
done look that tiny bit more creative so that's why today i'm going to show you how to do this
just got a hamster wheel and you're just trying to basically
what's happening guys Dan Debenham, here we're going to learn how to add reverb to a song to
the end of a song and that way you can you can switch between uh scenes and end the music without
just doing a straight fade out or a straight cut it leaves gives that music a little bit of
it moves it in from one scene from the last scene into the next scene um and so sort of knits
together the the video a little bit so without messing around without too much chatting let's
dive into uh premiere pro and we're gonna have a look at how we do it because this is all done in
premiere pro it's not done in audition it's done in premiere pro so let's dive into premiere pro
have a look at how we do it this is a pretty simple and easy effect to achieve in premiere
pro books one that adds an element of creativity to your final video it just it feels better than
just a simple fade in or fade out and that's just better than it's better than just adding clicking
the pen tool and sticking two dots on and then dragging this volume to zero decibels or going
into the effects tab for instance grabbing the um standard fade out audio fade out dragging that on
it just it just feels like the song has ended and you can do this with any song that you've
got it works with anything so there are a few things along the way that will need to
set out and get sorted which you may have you may not see in your version of premiere pro
and you may have to switch that on but we'll go through that as and when we need to so first
things first what we need to do is find a place where we want this song to end in amongst this
uh short little clip that we've just created in order for this tutorial we know the songs in other
videos about this long so we know it's going to have to end somewhere around here so let's play
yeah you see i think it needs to end somewhere around here where the song builds back in again so
i think probably around about there so I'm going to hit c on my keyboard she's going to bring up
the razor tool you can go of course go to the tool panel and pick the razor tool from there but it's
easy just hit c I'm going to hit v again which brings the selection tool up now by default i
think uh premiere pro um that adds in a couple of audio tracks anyway and what we're going to need
to do is use two audio tracks on in this effect in order to make it work so first things first
with snapping turned on because we're not going to use keyboard shortcuts and all the rest of it for
dragging stuff about we're just going to use the mouse because that's the sort of thing that you
would do anyway um so we're going to drag that down into track two so audio track two
audio track one audio track two and then move on consecutively so in essence what happens is this
song just plays along as if it was on one audio track because it's cut and it just carries on
as normal um but it's a lot longer than the video and we'll we'll sort that out at a later time
so the next thing we need to do is we're going to need to um sort out mixing this video this
audio in order to be able to get the reverb on there so what we're going to do is we're going
to come up here and you've got you've obviously you've got audio clip mixer here but that isn't
what we want to use we need another another type of audio mixer so we're going to go up to window
and we're going to go to track audio track mixer I'm going to click ok
and now we've got audio track mixer and audio clip mixed in it's a track that we're going to mix this
whole track so it's all audio track now here you can see it's got four bars here four options
and we've got four three options on this one so we want this one and it's got this arrangement up
here now if you if you want to show the rest of it which you're going to need to do you need to
click this little arrow in the corner and that's going to bring you down everything that you need
in order to be able to do what you need to do so what you're going to do is you're going to
come here you're going to click on this little arrow you're going to go to reverb studio reverb
and then it's going to appear here and in order to be able to see the studio reverb what we're
going to need to do is double click on it so we double click on it and we've now got another
little box up here which is essentially the studio reverb it's got a little blue
croc square in this corner which shows this off at the moment we're going to turn it on
and what we're going to do is we're going to look and we're going to see how we can sort
out this song now the easiest way of doing that is to just drag the decay and just drag it down
until you is to taste this as well so you know you can mess with it as much as you like to do
it in small increments until you've got what you want it to be like so in essence what we've got
and what we're also going to do is we're going to mess with the the
wet as well we're going to bring the wet out so that's going to
make it a little bit more sort of tinny and a bit more elongated but it's still
so what we need to do here is we need to come across we need to come down to our
new item and then we need to select something in here which will allow us to make those changes or
make them apparent and that something is either a transparent video or an adjustment layer
in my case I'm going to just make a transparent video and I'm going to drag that onto
audio visual 2 so video two and I'm gonna peek it out so it's as long as it can be
now what we're gonna do is we're gonna shorten this so that this
ends up being here so we now just dragged it forward so that we know it ends there
and now it just plays out now it's still this video is very very long
we know it ends roughly around about there but we want it to end a bit further forward
so what we're going to do is we're going to drag this video forward to about here
and what we're going to do now is we're going to click off of this and we're going to come across
to this little icon here that's the show keyframes icon and we're going to show keyframes we're going
to track keyframes in the show the keyframe tracks rather than the video ones because normally you'd
see clip keyframes so you'd see the keyframes in here up in your effects control panel so you'd
see if a video was selected for instance you'd see keyframes here but actually we're good at we want
the track keyframe so we want everything if you haven't got this if you right click
on here and customize you should be able to find this icon and then add it into your bar
so what we're going to do is we're going to go and we're going to select track keyframes
i'm going to select volume and that's going to bring the line up and that's this line here that
you can see in the volume here it's the all the way across regardless of where the whether there's
music in that or not it's going to alter the the volume of that track with or without music
so with that in mind we can then do is we can just hit the pen tool and we can put a couple of
the keyframes in hit v and then we can just drag that down like so and then effectively
and that's basically it that's all you need to do see what i mean see how it just sort
of knits it together you you sort of like you know that that's what's going to happen when
you get into the next scene you're going to see um you're going to see that you hear the music
finishing from the last scene but it's not that just general steady fade you know the sort of
like get two pen points and just drag one end down and then you're you're good to go it's got that
sort of decay to it and that just adds that little bit of like oh yeah this is part of the same thing
um to the viewer so with that i hope that was really really useful and i hope that you're
able to put that to some use in your projects and i'll see you guys in the next one peace!
