How to Loop Audio in Premiere Pro

hey what's up my friend my name is jason stapleton and today i'm going to show you the coolest editing hack that i have ever found for premiere pro that is going to both improve the quality of your videos and speed up the editing times so that you can get all the content that you're creating out faster now in full disclosure i did learn this hack from peter mckinnon he is an incredible photographer and a vlogger so make sure you show him some love and go check out his channel i left you a link to his channel in the description so if we want our videos to have maximum emotional impact one of the easiest ways to do that is through music and just by changing the type of music that we use we can create an entirely different experience for our viewers for example if i select a song like this you can see that we get a very eerie feeling as though something omnibus ominous ominous is about to happen but if i change the song and i choose something like this well now i can radically change how my audience interprets what they're seeing and what they're hearing oh and by the way if you're wondering where i get this music and frankly all the music that i use go check out artlist.io the subscriptions are super cheap and you're guaranteed to find exactly what you're looking for and no art list is not a sponsor of this show or of this site they're just a site that i use and that i love now up until recently every time i wanted to lay in an audio track under my voice i had to go through the incredibly tedious process of copying and splicing and then trying to blend the clips together to make the audio long enough for my entire video but today i'm going to show you how you can avoid all of that hassle using a simple adobe hack so check this out all right so to illustrate this edit i'm gonna be using the most recent youtube video that i put out on talking about my publish 365 challenge and if you're curious about that i'll tell you about it at the end of this video so make sure you stick around for that but as you can see i have my my vocal tracks of me talking here on track two and three and then underneath that on this bottom track i actually have an audio file with some music that i'm playing underneath and i'll play a little bit for you so you can get an idea of how it sounds over the next 365 days is to publish something every day now that might be a blog post or a youtube video or a podcast see pretty cool right a little bit of music underneath it's playing it sounds good but here's the thing just to give you an example of how much more powerful it is to have that music under there let me go ahead and do a series of mutes and unmute so you can hear what it's like when you don't have any of this uh underlying music in the in the background one of the things that i've committed to over the next 365 days is to publish something every day now that might be a blog post or a youtube video or a podcast but i am committing to publishing some kind of free content every single day in 2021 and if you're an entrepreneur or just someone who wants to make the next year of your life the year that you finally dumped that nine to five and start living a life of true and powerful right that's pretty cool it completely changes the emotional intensity of any of your content and if you're not doing with this this stuff now you really should be but here's the big pickle that i've been running into uh for years i've been editing i didn't know this trick and it's crazy how easy this is so here's my original file it's called optimistic as i said i got it from artlist.io but when i drag this in you'll see it's only about a minute long but i have almost a four minute video here and so the question is how do we lengthen this out and it used to be that you had to come in here and you had to like find the track and then you had to cut the track where you wanted it to go and you had to make some edits like this and then when we kind of drag this out we're going to duplicate this audio right here hang on duplicate this hold down the option key and we'll duplicate it and then we'll duplicate it again and then we'll duplicate it again hopefully we can get the edits sounding right so that they don't they work well and that you can't tell that something's that the music is rolling over and it's been edited but that's the old way of doing things there's a new way that's super easy let me show you how it works well first of all we're going to drag our time our audio file onto the clip just like we did before but this time instead of doing any crazy splicing or editing i'm just going to come up here to edit and i'm going to scroll down here to where it says edit adobe audition and i'm going to edit the sequence so i'm going to click on that it's going to ask me to label it and i'll just say uh 360 audio 365 music let's do that 365 music doesn't really matter what you name it and in just a few seconds adobe audition is going to populate and it's going to have all of the audio tracks in here now the next thing i want to do is come up to multi-track uh oh sorry go to file new multi-track session so we're gonna create a new multi-track session if you're unfamiliar with this stuff don't worry about it super easy just follow those steps you can't screw it up and then once i've created my new multi-track session then i'm gonna come in and grab my uh that same um audio file and i'm going to drag it onto the timeline so again it's going to do a little bit of render and if i show you back here so that's this audio file the optimistic one all i've done is take it and put it on its own track and as you can see it's still about a minute long but if i go and look my actual file my actual video is three minutes 59 seconds and roughly 18 milliseconds and so i need to change the length of this audio file and to do that what i'm going to do is go here on the left to this little tag the media browser where it says remix i'm going to drop that down and i'm going to click enable remix and in just a couple of seconds it's going to have analyze the file and then all i'm going to do is take this target duration and i'm just going to scroll it up to three minutes and 59 seconds and some change something like that and instantly look at what we got instantly we have all the edits perfectly spliced and you have seamless audio it's that easy if you need to you can actually zoom in on one of these and you can listen to the edit so listen to this edit that's two edits you couldn't even tell the difference this is so amazing it's cut down you know if i added it up hours and hours of time that i've spent trying to splice these things myself and to get it back into premiere it's real simple you just go to file export and export to adobe audition or sorry to adobe premiere pro and when i do that it's going to ask me what i want to call it let's just call it uh you know let's just call it my mix down again it doesn't really matter it's just for your benefit only and then it's going to roll right back in here it's going to ask me what i want it to do with it do i want to create a new track with it well i don't need to create a new track i already have a track where i want my audio to go which is a4 so i'm just going to scroll down here and say nope i want you to put it on a4 click ok and instantly i have my entire audio track now the perfect length going in to my video and now i'm ready for my color grade and my export it's pretty cool right so all right so if you got some value out of this video don't forget to subscribe and then smash that like and share button and one more thing i just launched what i am calling the publish 365 challenge it's a community
