Mastering Narrations and Mixing Sound, Adobe Premiere Elements

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you Kris, I have mastered using Premier elements 10 and how the menus work and thought I would give the 2021 version a go. At first it would not run " Black Screen issues " which meant the video would not play yet the audio would. After a lot of cursing and eventually finding a graphics driver update and disabling the intergrated driver it worked ! I use narrations over my videos and the previous version had both bass and treble in the Audio effect menu which you could overlay on the track and then edit it to suit. I could not see this option in the 2021 version. Your video highlighted the adjustments option where the Bass and treble features are located. There aren't that many videos out there that help with Premier elements as they are all about the Premier Pro. Once again a big thanks buddy 👍

His video made me feel like I won the lottery! I was struggling with my sound on my videos and now I feel like a pro! Thank you so much!

Glad I could help.

Great vid. Just what I wanted. Many similar, but they all assume a level of experience which I don’t have. Today I bought my first desk mic. And am starting to add voice overs into my vids. . And you talking to me like a person, rather than a sound engineer was a great help. Thanks.

[@KrisKasprzak]

Glad it helped

[@AlexBondSmith]

Thank you for this. I have had Premiere Elements 15 for a couple of months now and this video has opened a new dimension to my video editing.

[@KrisKasprzak]

Glad I could help.

I hear you have the same problem I encountered--when using Premiere Elements' narration feature the sound of my narration as I record it is very distracting. I ended up recording in Audacity to solve that problem. Also, I used the Smart Mixer and it did an excellent job of placing the key frames to lower and raise the volume when narration was playing. Thank you for the informative tutorials, Kris.

[@MRrwmac]

Thanks for showing the use of the multiple audio volume bar box. I've been using Audacity for music clean ups and agree that it's surprisingly still a free tool. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kris, I just wanted to thank you for this video. Great work!

[@KrisKasprzak]

You're very welcome.

[@travelfoodiereviews5269]

Thanks you for your instructional videos for Premiere Elements. I think this video will help me with my future video until I can get a newer PC with a faster CPU for my editing needs.

[@KrisKasprzak]

You're very welcome. Glad I could help.

[@mmcm04]

Very informational. Can you make a tutorial on how to use a textured baclground when adding text? Thanks.

[@KrisKasprzak]

Sure. Anything specific?

[@duncanbaker7787]

Thanks again Kris

[@GrammyVulture]

I am happy to have found your video. I have been all over google asking video and audio questions. Your video just showed up in my KZbin feed. I bought the new elements 15 I think. It is like a step backwards since I can't figure it out. I will try this on a few videos. The store said no returns for software. Being a visual learner is hard sometimes. Thank You, Thank You. Thanks Bunches!

[@KrisKasprzak]

Glad I could help.

[@SandiMacIver]

Great video, exactly what I was looking for. What kind of Mic do you recommend, I plugged in my headset with mic, but the adobe program will not acknowledge it?

[@KrisKasprzak]

Use a good USB mic and forget the 1/8" jack type mics. Here's the one I use www.amazon.com/Samson-C01U-Studio-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B00HXE4BYW

[@KrisKasprzak]

here's a review of my mic kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHPcc6ahjNuLpbc

Thanks, been looking for a video like this

[@rvthereyet9509]

Do I need any special microphone equipment to attach to my computer to create the narrative track?

[@metamech7383]

What, no flux?! Thanks for the tips. 👌

Thanks for the tutorial.

[@chadsmithpaintings2997]

Hi Kris, I've enjoyed your tutorials on Premiere Elements. Thank you! As a beginner, could you tell me if Premiere Elements is compatible with my iphone 6 footage? Thanks!

[@KrisKasprzak]

I'm willing to bet the iPhone records to a MOV format, Adobe Premiere Elements can read MOV formats.

[@wmccourtney2814]

Kris I have adobe premiere elements 15. Narration turns on in a split second stops and NARRATION AHEAD. RECORD TO OVERWRITE POPS UP. I tried finding aiso or asio?? under edit preferences audio hardware nothing comes up for that. Can you help? Will.

[@abhinavamukherjee2807]

Thank you so much!

[@beetlebill1]

Great Video! I downloaded Audacity and I am have difficulty locating the folder where the WAV files are located. In your video you quickly opened the file and then copied it back. How do you locate the right file to use Audacity to edit it?

[@KrisKasprzak]

If you are talking about the file access at around the 4 minute 49 seconds mark I probably shot that segment of the video a few times where audacity remembered that folder. Keep an eye on where you save your project in Adobe Premiere Elements and sometimes it puts it in a goofy location I have a folder called C:\video\... where I store my video projects then I access that folder from audacity, not sure I'm really answer your question though

[@beetlebill1]

You answered my question perfectly. It was on my C:\ drive in the users\documents\adobe path of files. Thanks!!

[@kimbob271]

I have a video, voiceover track and wanted to add music in the background. I can’t seem to be able to figure that out, would you have any suggestions? Thanks for sharing!!

[@KrisKasprzak]

see in my vid at the 0:00 mark, there is a row in the timeline for narration and soundtrack (at the very bottom). You can drag your music track to that row or add it from the add media menu. Note if you add using the add media menu, you will still need to drag the music file to the timeline.

[@kbjrecords7010]

Great work on this channel. You got skills. Let me know when you upload new vids, maybe we can help someway.

[@RubinGnoni]

Hi Kris. When I record audio with my lavalier mic the sound of "S" is very high and comes out almost like a whistle. Can I fix it with Adobe Premiere Elements? Thank you.

[@KrisKasprzak]

possibly, depending on how bad. Add an effect to your audio track and adjust, the audio effects are in the effects section make sure you filter them out by picking audio. There are several effects you can try 1) low pass filter (only passes audio below set frequency, try say 4000 2) NewBlue noise reducermay help 3) NewBlue Cleaner may work as well. Just goto try them out.

[@BethDiaryofAnIntrovert]

Thank you for helping, and now I just got a new problem where I dont know how to set the size of vdo manually before the saving it T_T"

[@KrisKasprzak]

Should be an advanced setting button that lets you tweak the output parameters.

[@nikkiotero7495]

Idk why it says is recording but I cant heard it 💔 and I'm doing everything on this video

[@KrisKasprzak]

Can you be more specific and what you're doing?

[@nikkiotero7495]

@@KrisKasprzak srry i forgot to right again it was my fault I didn't connect the mic 😂 but it working now thank you

[@sniperdad4853]

I have some trouble getting the audio from elements to audacity, and I have no idea where they are. When I do a mix and get the file in the sound editing it is all one loud hiss. Can you give me some direction. Thankyou.

[@KrisKasprzak]

When I record inside premiere i find the audio file in the project folder. A loud hiss may be caused by trying to crank up the mic amplification too much--or too low. What level are are the VU meters in elements. Can you try recording from within Audacity and what are the results?

[@sniperdad4853]

now that i have found the files, i cannot get my mike to work.

[@KrisKasprzak]

look at your recording devices in Windows (lower right corner of Taskbar--the little speaker). Right click and select recording devices, is your mic selected? Then in Adobe, try preferences and audio, make sure your mic is selected. Hope this helps.

[@deejaySilence]

how many audio and video tracks can we use with Elelements ?

[@KrisKasprzak]

you can add an additional 100 audio and 100 video tracks. This is on V13

[@deejaySilence]

+Kris Kasprzak nice Thnxxx

[@SalesInfiltrator]

Not what i was looking for BUT learnt some important stuff
