Use the Enhance Audio feature in Premiere to improve the clarity and presence of dialogue recordings. This AI-powered tool helps reduce background noise and enhance vocal quality, making spoken audio more distinct and professional.

Select an audio or video clip in the timeline.

In the Properties panel, open the Audio section.

Select Enhance Audio.

You can also select Enhance Audio from the right-click menu or the Clip menu.

The Properties panel's Audio tab shows the Enhance Audio section with its toggle switched off and an Enhance Audio button.
Select Enhance Audio in the Properties panel to separate audio into editable layers.

Premiere analyzes the clip and separates the audio into dialogue, music, ambience, and sound effects.

Adjust dialogue

Select an enhanced clip.

In the Enhance Audio section, adjust the Dialogue controls:

  • Dialogue Volume: Adjust the volume of the dialogue.
  • Enhancement: Adjust the amount of dialogue enhancement.
  • Reverb: Reduce reverb from the dialogue.
Tip

At 0% Enhancement, the dialogue retains the original sound. Increase the value to apply more enhancement.

The Enhance Audio section shows the Dialogue sliders mid-range, with a volume slider for each other layer below.
The Dialogue sliders appear in the Enhance Audio section, along with the volume controls for the other layers.

Choose an Enhance Speech model

Set a default model by selecting the Settings icon in the Enhance Audio section. Choose from the following Enhance Speech models:

  • Enhance Speech V1 runs fully on-device and includes source separation. It does not use generative credits.
  • Enhance Speech V2 runs in the cloud as part of Firefly and uses two generative credits per minute for speech enhancement.
The Choose a model popover shows Enhance Speech V1 and V2 options, with V2 (Cloud) selected as the default.
Choose Enhance Speech V1 to keep processing fully on-device, or V2 for the highest-quality result.

If you want to switch models for an individual clip, use the Enhance Audio settings in the Properties panel.

Note

Source separation runs on-device. Generative credits are used only when Enhance Speech V2 is used.
