About working with video

With Adobe Audition, you can improve the sound of any video project. For example, if
you need to improve the audio quality of an existing soundtrack, you can use Edit View to
quickly restore and enhance the audio. Or, if you want to create elaborate soundtracks
with flexible, real-time mixing tools, you can use Multitrack View to preview video, add
audio and MIDI tracks, and export entirely new soundtracks. (See “Importing audio and
video from video files” on page 208.)

For maximum flexibility, you can combine Adobe Audition with Adobe Premiere Pro and
After Effects. Tight integration between these products lets you quickly remix a
soundtrack as the needs of a video project change over time.

Working with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

If you use Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects, you can easily remix and edit soundtracks
in Adobe Audition. To do so, first configure Adobe Audition to link session files with
exported audio mixdowns in WAV format. Once these files are linked, you can select an
imported mixdown file in Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects, and then remix the related
session in Multitrack View, or edit the mixdown file in Edit View.

To link session files with exported audio mixdowns in WAV format:

1

Choose Options > Settings, and then click the Data tab.

2

Select Embed Project Link Data For Edit Original Functionality, and then click OK.

3

When you export mixdown files, select Save Extra Non-Audio Information in the

Export Audio dialog box.
