When making audio adjustments of any kind, determine whether the change is applied to the entire track or to individual clips. Audio tracks
and clips are edited in different ways.
Use the Show/Hide Tracks command in the Audio Mixer menu to display only the information you want to see and save screen space. If you
aren’t using Effects and Sends, you can hide them by clicking the triangle at the left edge of the Audio Mixer.
View audio data
To help you view and edit the audio settings of any clip or track, Premiere Pro provides multiple views of the same audio data. You can view and
edit volume or effect values for either tracks or clips in the Audio Mixer or in a Timeline panel. Make sure that the track display is set to Show
Track Keyframes or Show Track Volume.
In addition, audio tracks in a Timeline panel contain waveforms, which are visual representations of a clip’s audio over time. The height of the
waveform shows the amplitude (loudness or quietness) of the audio—the larger the waveform, the louder the audio. Viewing the waveforms in an
audio track is helpful for locating specific audio in a clip.
To view a waveform, expand the audio track by clicking the triangle next to the audio track name.
Click triangle to expand audio track to view audio waveform, track name, and rubberband.
View audio clips
You can view an audio clip’s Volume, Mute, or Pan time graphs and its waveform in a Timeline panel. You can also view an audio clip in the
Source Monitor, which is useful for setting precise In and Out points. You can also view sequence time in audio units instead of frames. This
setting is useful for editing audio at smaller increments than frames.
Do any of the following:
To view the audio waveform of a clip in a Timeline panel, click the triangle to the left of the audio track name and click the Set Display
Style icon
under the Toggle Track Output icon . Then choose Show Waveform.
To view an audio clip in the Source Monitor when the clip is in a Timeline panel, double-click the clip.
To view an audio clip in the Source Monitor when the clip is in the Project panel, double-click the clip, or drag the clip to the Source
Monitor. If a clip contains video and audio, you can view its audio in the Source Monitor by clicking the Settings button and selecting
Audio Waveform.
View time in audio time units
In the Audio Mixer, Program Monitor, Source Monitor, or Timeline panel, choose Show Audio Time Units from the panel menu.
To see more volume detail when viewing an audio waveform in a Timeline panel, increase the track height. To see more time detail, view
time in audio units.
Audio Mixer overview
In the Audio Mixer, you can adjust settings while listening to audio tracks and viewing video tracks. Each Audio Mixer track corresponds to a track
in the timeline of the active sequence and displays the Timeline audio tracks in an audio console layout. You can rename a track by double-
clicking its name. You can also use the Audio Mixer to record audio directly into a sequence’s tracks.
