![]() Audition is going to analyze it and create a new track with just that synchronized audio. When you’re done choosing settings, click OK. ![]() Choosing settings in the Automatic Speech Alignment dialog. For now, I'm just going to choose kind of the middle of the road safe one, Balanced Alignment and Stretching, and leave it at that.įigure 18. Each one of them may have different results, depending on what quality your audio is. And there are three different settings that you can choose for how it aligns. So there's no selection for the channel there. Their studio recording, of course, is in mono. You'd normally want to try to choose the cleaner one so it has an easier time of reading it. The channels in the original look about the same. So it really doesn't matter which channel we choose. But in this case, it looks like they had an on-camera stereo mic. Stereo could be used in a variety of ways. And you're also going to choose a channel. In this case, it's going to be the top one, the MVI file. There, you're going to choose the reference clip, which is the clip it's going to look at to find out where the words and syllables should go. The Automatic Speech Alignment dialog opens ( Figure 18, below). ![]() Then right-click on either one of them, and go down to Automatic Speech Alignment ( Figure 17, below).įigure 17. So all you've got to do is get these two clips selected and you've got the same words in each. And you can see they recorded just the audio needed for each one of these clips individually. Fortunately, with Automatic Speech Alignment, all you have to do is select one and two that match. Listen to the original, just so you get an idea of what we're dealing with, at the 9:00 mark of the clip below. And he recorded a clean version in their nice quite studio so that they'd have a nice clean version of what he needed to say. ![]() On the contrary, on the track below, we have their studio version, where they brought Durin (the speaker) in to re-record his dialogue. Our original audio (top track) and studio re-record (below). There's some noise, but it's not quite as bad as the middle one.įigure 16. And then the last one has kind of an in-between range, particularly in the first half of the clip. The one in the construction area has a lot of ambient sound. There's a little bit of noise at the end. The one outside of the office building is pretty clean. And you can just look at the waveform in Figure 16 and see the differences from scene to scene. There are three different scenes-one outside of the Adobe offices in Seattle, one in a construction zone, and a third that looks like it's outdoors, perhaps near a fountain or a public area, with a lot of traffic and other noises in the background. On top is the original audio with the video, and you can tell it's varied wildly. In the example shown in Figure 16 (below), created from files provided by Adobe for this tutorial, I've got two tracks. Let’s say you have a set of clips, and one of them was badly recorded or has some unwanted noise, or one includes dialogue from an actor who appears in multiple clips, but his voice sounds substantially different in one of them To clean up the project, you need to match up the bad recording to a studio version, recorded later, that you want lip-synced to it. Adobe has a tool that they introduced in the last version of the Creative Suite that carries over into Audition Creative Cloud called Automatic Speech Alignment. If you work with scripted projects that need to be delivered with no mistakes whatsoever in the dialogue, ADR, or Additional Dialogue Recording (or Replacement), is something that you're probably familiar with.
