i have a hissssssssssssssssssss in a project's audio dialogue track. are there any tools in premiere (pro 1.5) to help me bring that down?
 
I'll assume you have a "not official" version, as you keep asking questions that are covered in the printed manual.
 
pookie,

i'm tempted to treat this as flame bait. Then again, you may just have an interesting sense of humor. But i digress. Actually my manual is buried inside with the other 163,000 manuals of every other electronic device i own. the time it would take me to find it, and then find the chapter that deals with that hiss, going on previous experiences, compared with just asking this board, would probably be 9 hours to about 5 minutes (actually 7, including this response). As you can see, it wasn't a very diffuclt decision.

if anyone else would like to answer my question, i would be grateful. thanks much.

okay, i wasn't sure if you were trying to be funny or not. anyway, no harm done.

everyone else. hissing still happening. if you have the answer, please help.
 
in the 'audio effects' section, look for 'denoiser'. it works pretty good in reducing background noise. You will have to play with the controls a bit. Be aware that depending on the parameters you can introduce unpleasant artifacts, so use it with caution!
But it's a good tool: I also got good results with some audio recordings which before processing were beyond the threshold of the usable (kids screaming constantly from a pool nearby)

pookie: I think that at least 60-70% of questions in this forum are covered by the relevant manuals. c.q. is right, most of the times is just better to ask the forum.. quicker and more effective:)

I assume you do not have Audition but that particular Noise reduction would be very easy if you did because it can isolate the frequency by analysis and apply it as a filter across the clip.

Not very helpful unless you have Audition of course.

And if the program is legit, the manual is at hand.
btw, RTFM BEFORE bugging the forum.
 
Audition is an excellent tool on its own, but when coupled with Premier, it really justifies its cost.
 
khmuse, can you give me a couple of its indespensible qualities? it's not that i don't believe you, it's just that i've bought things i was sure i'd need before only to later ask myself 'uh, why did i buy this again?'

Absolutely true, but
1) suspecting that somebody has a pirated copy of the software, just because he posted a question covered in the manual, means going to conclusion too fast
2) Most of the times even pirated versions have the online help :happy:

I still don't agree on this point. I believe one should try a forum search first, and possibly take a look at the manual. but after you spend 15 mins on the manual not having a clue what you're looking for should be, just contact the forum. somebody will fix your problem in matter of mins.

I'll give you an example: some days ago i needed to include in a trailer i was making an effect for 'shaking titles' (it is pretty popular in music videos, MTV shows etc, often combined with typewriter font and aged film effect). I checked AE and Ppro manuals in depth. well i couldnt find anything, until i posted it in a forum and somebody replied me that 'the wiggler' from AE was what i was looking for. I could have spent days looking in the manual and not find it. Unless i would read the whole manual (a couple of weeks i guess) until i could find the right tool. This is what the forum is for.
It's not just for off manual topics. At least IMHO.

i will never ever read a manual for the rest of my life.
 
audition is nice to use as the default program to open .wav files. you can right click and audio clip in the PPRO timeline, and select "edit original" and it will open up the file in your default .wav program to edit.. then you can edit and save and viola! its back in PPRO with your changes.
 
Audition is indispensable to me and my workflow and has much to recommend it if you do even a little bit of audio editing. It is a serious audio application but is surprisingly easy to use. Learning curve is 25% of the PremPro time and it fjust does stuff that I would not even attempt in PremPro..

It integrates well with PremPro is 1st & main advantage ( Edit Original Function)
Allows very precise audio editing (much better than PremPro)
Multitrack Mixer with pro functions (including automation)
CD track ripper ( legit) - lifts tracks from cds simply
Has a CD Project feature that I use a lot
Great range of Pro audio filters , effects
Create and edit music with loops.
etc, etc......

WTF? I don't remember RTFM being part of the user agreement, though I'm sure you read it letter by letter given your user-literature advocacy. Perhaps it never occurred to you that others might enjoy answering questions that you find too simplistic to warrant posting. Everyone likes to feel like an expert, which is something entirely different than simply feeling superior.

Actually, the school I teach purchased the entire Adobe video suite and it came with no manuals at all.

I wasn't happy to say the least, but whoever the tech guys go through said that was the deal. THankfully I was able to request an examination copy through the company that we buy our books from.

I was not happy about not having the manuals though, and when I kept pounding as to why we didn't (or wouldn't) get them, I kept getting stonewalled and finally gave up.
