 Hello everyone, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 tutorial guys, this time I'm going to show you how to combine audio tracks so that they start at the same time if you have more than one camera recording and you want to use one audio track versus the other or you want to use them both or as is more frequently the case you were filming with a DSLR and your DSLR doesn't get very good audio built into it but you have an independent recorder like a zoom or an H4n or something like that you guys can combine them in post-production here in Premiere Pro and it is now as simple as anything also if you have a I don't know a cell phone camera and your cell phone doesn't catch the audio and you get a second source from let's say again like a like a handheld hand recorder anyways enough of that show you how to combine clips it's as easy as pie I'll show you what I got first double click on this one guys all right I'm just testing some stuff out here all right it's just me sitting at my brother's table and you can hear it's not bad here is the sound the second sound source that I got please note that these are not started at the same time so it's not as simple as just putting them both in at the timeline and starting at the beginning I started them at separate times specifically to show you how to do this matching so I'll hit play on this one all right guys hey guys hey guys all right I'm just so basically they don't start at the same time but they are of me talking and doing my thing now the way to do this is very very simple you want to take the first one here you want to take the video or whatever clip and then your other clip whether it's a video or or just an audio clip only then once you've selected them both you want to right click on it and I know this sounds super simple but you want to click merge clips when you click merge clips it's automatically going to go to synchronize point in points that is not what we want we want to synchronize on the audio channel now in this case I want to do track one but you could go ahead and flip them around but in most cases it doesn't matter now I'm also going to go ahead and take a look at use audio timecode from clip you remove audio from clip I'm gonna leave those as no and I'm gonna hit okay I'm gonna show you what happens we've got this merged clip here now I'm gonna drag and drop this into the timeline and here's where it gets interesting so remember how I said that the they didn't start at the same time this clip here started early and then this one and this matched up so that they start at the same time so the reason why I did that is because we can go ahead and remove let's say remove this one let's hit play at the beginning so what's happened here as you can hear is we got the video component which is what we wanted and then we've added in the untitled or the external sound which we don't want but it's not the point the point is is you can add either or or both in if we want the other audio source we would do that we would delete that and then we would then move this up like this so we'd have it underneath it let's say right here and then what I would do is I would then chop that to here so that everything is lined up and then we could even move it to the beginning of a playhead and let's see what this sounds like that is how you do combining audio sources with just two simple steps I know I took a few extra seconds there to explain it but it's really really that good guys and if you do some filming and you don't have good audio on your camera but you got a good recorder don't panic Premiere Pro has you covered that's all there is for this tutorial guys I got a ton more stuff coming up stay tuned thanks for watching
