You can use sound editing to really flesh out your scenes, build atmosphere and convey emotions. Learning how to use sound bridges is an easy editing transition that can really help with this. Any professional editor will be using these little sound bridges in Premiere Pro multiple times throughout a cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KCISDmPc4yM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-sound-bridge\">What is a sound bridge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound bridges (sometimes also known as audio bridges) are an editing technique used to transition from one scene to another, through the use of sound. You are effectively bridging the gap between one shot and another by using sound. There\u2019s a clear example in the tutorial video where we transition from the quiet, peaceful serenity of the Himalayan mountains to a hectic, busy scene in Kathmandu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-use-a-sound-bridge\">Why use a sound bridge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A sound bridge is used primarily to connect two scenes with sound. They decrease the abruptness of a cut, guide your audience through a story\u2019s twists and turns and sometimes, can even create intrigue or drama.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-a-sound-bridge-in-premiere-pro\">How to make a sound bridge in Premiere Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three audio bridges in Premiere Pro I\u2019m walking you through today \u2013 all really simple and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-constant-power-crossfade\">Constant power crossfade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a \u201cconstant power\u201d crossfade effect at the point where two audio clips meet on the timeline adds a nice layer of polish to your edit. Rather than one audio clip abruptly ending and feeding straight into the next one (this can sometimes produce a noticeable clipping sound), the two audio tracks blend seamlessly from one to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you have to do is go to the effects tab in your project window, navigate to <strong>audio transitions<\/strong> in the drop-down menus, then to <strong>crossfade<\/strong>, where you can drag <strong>constant power<\/strong> and drop it onto your audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-l-cut\">L Cut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An L cut is when the audio from a preceding shot runs further on, under the succeeding shot and past the point where the two visual shots transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve an L cut, you just need to hit <strong>N<\/strong> on the keyboard to select the <strong>rolling edit tool, <\/strong>then hold <strong>ALT<\/strong> (for windows) or <strong>OPT<\/strong> (for MAC), click and drag the video track of the succeeding shot, ensuring it runs a little over the preceding shot to a point you\u2019re happy with. You\u2019ll now see how the audio from the preceding shot is running a little further on under your succeeding shot. I demonstrate this in the tutorial video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-j-cut\">J Cut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The J cut, as you may have guessed, is the opposite of an L cut. In this instance, you let the audio of the succeeding shot start a little bit sooner under the preceding shot, before the visual cut has been made. Again, I demonstrate this in the tutorial video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note \u2013 for both the J and L cuts, you\u2019ll want to use the <strong>constant power crossfade<\/strong> to ensure the audio tracks blend nicely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve your edits and make them more professional with this simple sound editing
