Edit Premiere audio clips in Audition

Last updated on Apr 2, 2026

Learn how to send audio clips from Adobe Premiere to Adobe Audition for detailed audio editing.

Adobe Audition lets you use advanced post-production techniques to edit audio transferred from Adobe Premiere. If you have installed Audition, you can use Edit In Adobe Audition to edit an audio clip.

Sending a clip to Audition lets you render the audio data for more advanced audio editing using Waveform Editor in Audition.

Working with Audition

In a Project panel, select a sequence containing audio. You can also select a clip in the Timeline or right-click the clip in the Project panel.

Select Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition and then Clip from the submenu.

Editing clips in Audition

When you apply the Edit in Adobe Audition command to an audio clip, the clip is rendered and replaced into a new Wave file which directly opens in Audition. When you edit audio in Audition, the original file is preserved, and only the copied version is altered.

If an In/Out range was marked in Premiere, these markers become visible in Audition. When the clip is edited and saved in Audition, the changes made to the clip is directly reflected in the Premiere Timeline panel. Effects or Markers applied to the original clip are preserved in the edited clip.

You can edit the audio in Audition as many times as needed. Each time you choose Edit Clip in Adobe Audition, Premiere generates a newly rendered audio file and replaces the previous one for further editing. The Clear command deletes the extracted audio clip that has been edited in Audition.

Note

The Edit In Audition command is not available for Adobe dynamic link clips.
