Learn how to work with video in Adobe Audition to preview, edit, and sync audio seamlessly with visual content.
Open selected clips in Premiere Pro or After Effects to edit them in the Waveform Editor. Save your changes to automatically update the audio in your projects.
In Adobe Premiere, choose Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition > Clip.
In After Effects, choose Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition.
Export a multitrack mix to Premiere
Premiere and Audition directly exchange audio between sequences and multitrack sessions. Any sequence markers appear in Audition, and separate tracks can be retained for maximum editing flexibility.
The applications exchange sequences and sessions using a shared XML format, which is exported to a folder containing any referenced audio files.
Note
To send a single mixdown file to Premiere without exporting individual tracks, learn to link sessions to exported mixdown files.
Specify a name and location for the exported session folder, and set the following options:
Sample Rate
By default, it reflects the sample rate of the original sequence. Select another rate to resample the file for different output media.
Export each track or bus as a stem
Converts the full timeline duration of each track into a single clip, combining multiple clips if necessary. Select this option to extend and align clips with sequence start and end points.
Mixdown Session To
Exports the session to a single mono, stereo, or 5.1 file.
Open in Adobe Premiere
Automatically opens the sequence in Premiere. Deselect this option if you plan to edit the sequence later or transfer it to a different machine.
Click Export.
When Premiere opens the exported XML file (either automatically or via the File > Import command), the Copy Adobe Audition Tracks dialog box appears.
From the Copy to Active Sequence menu, choose where the exported Audition tracks begin. Any new tracks are added below the existing ones.
Note
You can send a sequence of audio from Premiere to Audition and edit it there.
Link sessions to exported mixdown files
To create layered video soundtracks that you can easily update, link multitrack sessions to exported mixdown files. When you select the exported files in an application such as Premiere, you can either remix or edit them in Audition. As a video project evolves, simply repeat this process to create a polished final soundtrack.
Embed edit-original data in exported mixdown files
Open a multitrack session.
Choose Edit > Preferences > Markers & Metadata (Windows) or Adobe Audition > Settings > Markers & Metadata (macOS).
Select Embed Edit Original link data in multitrack sessions.
When you export mixdowns, select Include markers and other metadata.
Edit a mixdown file via a video application
In the video application, select a mixdown file you exported from Adobe Audition.
Choose Edit > Edit Original.
Select one of the following options, and then click OK:
Open The Audition Multitrack Session That Created The File
Open The File In The Audition Waveform Editor
Remix the linked session in the Multitrack Editor, or edit the mixdown file in the Waveform Editor.
To overwrite the original file in the video application, do one of the following:
In the Multitrack Editor, choose File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown, and specify the same name and location as the original file.
In the Waveform Editor, choose File > Save.
Edit, mix, and record with Audition
Create and edit audio for podcasts, music, film, and more.
