Remix in Premiere Pro

Retime music to match the duration of your video.

Powered by Adobe Sensei, Remix in Premiere Pro saves hours of cutting, rippling, adding fades, and previewing results, trying to fit a piece of music to the length of a scene. 

Whether your music clips come from a favorite stock audio service like Adobe Stock, your personal or commercial libraries, or even your neighbor's garage band, you can use Remix to find the ideal cut points or loops, retiming and rearranging your songs almost instantly.

How does Remix work?  

When you apply Remix, Premiere Pro analyzes by measuring several qualities of each beat in a song, comparing them to every other beat. Remix then finds the path of highest confidence based on those qualities to create a musically coherent and seamless song remix, including cuts and crossfades.

Where do I start?

What should I consider when remixing a music clip?

When you remix a song, consider elements like target duration, dynamics (how many different sections there are in the song), and the type of music.

Use the Customize sliders in the Essential Sound panel to try out different arrangements.

Simply select an audio clip, enable Remix, and then edit these properties.

 There is a slight timing issue with preview versions of Adobe Stock music. If you use Remix on a Preview and then decide to purchase the track, check the timing of your remix with the full version. If necessary, reapply Remix to the original full-length song.

The Essential Sound panel is open and the remix option is selected.

Target duration

If you know the duration you're trying to achieve, you can type this in the Target Duration text in the Essential Sound panel Remix Properties.  You can also use the Remix tool in the Toolbar panel to drag the length of the music clip to match your content visually.  Depending on factors like the original tempo and composition of the song, and other parameters, Remix finds a version of the music within 5 seconds of the target duration and usually within 1 second.

Segments

Adjust this parameter to control the number of cuts and crossfades made in a Remix.  Lower values make as few cuts as necessary, while higher values give the algorithm more flexibility to adapt to dynamic songs.

Variations

Adjust this parameter to quickly preview alternative remixes, focusing on either more melodic or harmonic elements of the song.  A track with a strong solo instrument, like a trumpet or voice, may get better results with a melodic variation, while an orchestral or chorale piece may sound more natural with a harmonic variation.

How do I know my Remix worked?

Every edit Remix makes is displayed as a vertical zig-zag line on the new audio clip.  Move your playhead a little before these indicators and press Play.  You can hear the new edit in real time.  You can also double-click the clip to open the remixed song in the Source Monitor and listen to it in isolation.

Tips and tricks

  • Remix always keeps the beginning and end of your clip and remixes the middle.  If there is a specific part of the song you want to happen at a particular point in your project, split the original clip right at this point and Remix both clips separately.  You can then put them together to make a seamless transition between the two and align this point with your video.  
  • Remix does not understand the vocals in the music. Sometimes, this means Remix keeps the first few lines from one verse and edits them into the last few lines of a different verse. Keep this in mind while remixing music with vocals.
