Re: Frustrating times with audio automation

What is it that you cannot do in Premiere Pro? I'm assuming you are working with real audio and not foley and ADR and you don't need to do sound design.

Sound designers I have worked with have always worked in Digidesign's ProTools (part of Avid) and they have used hardware controls (that are real time, from what I have seen) But even they do keyframing.

Only reason why I would send just regular video to a sound designer would be to clean up audio that is unacceptable for broadcast. And I'm not running into too much of that.

But for music, you can add stereo tracks, you can do mono (or stereo) audio for primary content (voiceover and dialog) and add effects tracks as needed all within Premiere Pro.

I've not attempted a 5.1 audio mix but even the version of Premiere Pro that I'm using (1.5) has that capability.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?
