CLASSROOM: How to Use Essential Sound in Adobe Premiere to Mix and Improve Audio for Your Videos1 min read

It can be a hard concept to fully digest for a visual photographer making the transition to another essentially visual medium in filmmaking, but when it comes to video, what you hear can be just as important and sometimes more important than what you see.
If you’re anything like me or many other filmmakers, your first and only step when it comes to audio is to hire a sound professional to do it for you. Not that this is a particularly bad idea. As photographers, we make our living convincing clients to shell out just a little bit more for a professional who specialises in providing the best results. The same can be said for trying to do audio on our own.
But of course, in the real world, sometimes our budgets simply don’t allow for us to hire Christopher Nolan’s sound effects editor to pump up the sound of our YouTube clip or short film. This is where knowing your way around the Essential Sound panel in Adobe Premiere comes in handy.
