Adobe Premiere 6

[Bglad]

I'm editing video from a DV camera in Premiere. When editing is complete I usually have about 8 tracks of audio, say 2 tracks bouncing back and forth that source from the camera plus an extra track of fill and 2 tracks of music with an extra 2 tracks to bounce them back and forth for editing.

When it is done, I set the computer for double monitor output, edit on the monitor and output to a 32" television to mix the audio because that is where it will be played back when laid back to DVD.

So... the problem:
Dialog is mostly talking head stuff with a lavalier mic so I want to add a touch of slap and some echo globally to all clips on the dialog tracks that source from the lavalier. I want to add a touch of reverb globally to the muxic tracks. I can't figure out how to add effects to a whole track. All I can figure out is how to add to each clip individually which takes FOREVER!! This is not how people edit and mix! There must be a solution to this that I can't find because otherwise this program is too good.

Anybody know?

Select the track you have applied the effect to, rt-click, copy. Then select the track you want to copy the effect to, select edit, and "paste attribute", and then select the attributes you want to copy over (I usually select them all). This will copy the effect, but leave the original audio track in place. Works on video clips too.

Watch these tutorials, and you will learn a lot.

This place is also awsome.

Hey thank you. I had finally gotten the answer from the Adobe forums but those tutorials are really interesting.

Most of the info I've found on the web for editing is pretty basic but these have some advanced techniques.

Seems Premiere Pro will let you adjust audio settings for a track globally in the mixer window. But I think I'm going to wait to get Pro until it supports 64 bit.

Here is another question I have: have you seen any good tutorials on outputting? About codecs, output settings etc. The second link you gave me had that but it seemed to only deal with the settings that the author uses and he is outputting for a different purpose than I.

I have really just now started learning myself. The compression section of the second link talks a little about codecs.

Yoy may find what you need in various forums:
