Adobe Premiere Question

[unknown_user0004]

Hey all,

I've been going through some Adobe Premiere Pro training, but I'm trying to figure out how I'd manage an edit like this:

Basically, a version of an L cut, but where the audio overlaps, rather than doing a hard cut. From what I understand, this wouldn't be possible in Premiere without moving the audio to a new track for every single cut (which, at 50-70 cuts per video), would mean a ton of overhead.

Am I perhaps missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Would you not be able to have it just alternating between the two audio tracks? rather than a new one for each cut.

Right, but then I'd have to go through and move the audio to the other track for every single edit, no?

Depends if you want every edit to overlap.

Depends if you want every edit to overlap.

With a lot of vlogs nowadays, the editing has to be ridiculously tight. If you don't overlap, there's going to be a LOT of audio clipping.

I got nuffin' 'gainst Final Cut Pro! I was looking at Premiere just because of its tighter integration with other software. But honestly, the overhead to trimming is a dealkiller.

You can alternate between just two tracks but you have to use the method L cut J cut LJLJLJLJLJ it will create a pattern that only takes up 2 tracks but the down side is you have to unlink all your video and audio tracks so if your not carfull you may end up with unsyched audio and video.

You wouldn't have to unlink them. If you just option-click and drag the audio to a separate track, they'll remain linked. It's just a major pain to do that for every alternate clip.

'Im saying you would have to unlink them for the method I described if you only want 2 tracks.
