Learn how to Create an Audio Fade in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

Adding music to a video edit is something that happens quite often. However having music just start can be a little abrupt. To not jolt the user, we can use a fade to help slowly bring the audio in to the scene. This will make for a smooth transition, and an overall better edit. Today we go over how to fade music in and out in Premiere Pro CC.

  1. Automatic
    • Effects – exponential fade (under audio transitions and crossfade)
    • Drag onto audio (note, its exponential not linear)
  2. Manual
    • Drag audio down (scroll or drag) – you will see a line in the center (you can also right click and level)
    • Create key frame – Double click on audio (or click on icon)
    • Add second key frame – move over to 2:14
    • Click where the center line meets the starting point of this key frame to create a diagonal line in bottom half to negative infinity (no sound at all)Picture of audio track with diagonal line.
    • At 8:17 a voice comes in – lower audio (click key frame) and move a few frames forward
    • Add another key frame and adjust to -18
