Importing digital audio
You can import digital audio clips stored as audio files or tracks in video files. Digital audio is stored on computer
hard disks, audio CDs, or digital audio tape (DAT) as binary data readable by computers. To keep quality as high as
possible, transfer digital audio files to your computer via digital connections. Avoid digitizing the analog outputs
from your audio sources through your sound card.
Note: If you want to capture an audio-only file from a digital video source, choose Audio from the Capture pop-up
menu in the Logging pane of the Capture panel. Adobe Premiere Pro does not support audio-only capture for some
formats, such as HDV.
For maximum editing performance and audio quality, Adobe Premiere Pro processes each audio channel, including
audio channels in video clips, as 32-bit floating-point data at the project’s sample rate. To do this it must conform
certain types of audio to match the 32-bit format and the project sample rate. If it is necessary, conforming is done
when a file is imported into a project for the first time, taking time and disk space. A progress bar appears at the
lower right of the Adobe Premiere Pro window when conforming begins.
You can work with audio files, even applying effects to them, before they are fully conformed, but you will be able
to preview only the part of the files that have been conformed. You won’t hear unconformed sections on playback.
These rules determine which types of audio get conformed:
• Adobe Premiere Pro does not conform uncompressed 32kHz or 48kHz audio, such as might be found in DV AVI,
AVI, uncompressed AIFF and uncompressed MOV files, if the sample rate of the imported file has either a 1:1 or
2:3 ratio to the project’s sample rate. For example, a DV AVI file containing 32 kHz audio will not be conformed
when imported into a project with an audio sample rate of 48kHz, since the sample rates are in a 2:3 ratio.
However, a file containing 48 kHz audio will get conformed when imported into a project with an audio sample
rate of 32 kHz, as the sample rates are in a 3:2 ratio.
• Adobe Premiere Pro does not conform a file that was conformed in one project when you import it into another
project with the same audio sample rate, so long as you haven’t moved or renamed the file since it was conformed.
Adobe Premiere Pro keeps the location of the conform files for all files it has conformed in the Media Cache
Database.
• Adobe Premiere Pro does conform compressed audio, such as might be found in MP3, WMA, MPEG, or
compressed MOV files, regardless of their sample rates.
To avoid conforming, use audio editing software, or transcoding software, to convert your files to supported uncom-
pressed formats with sampling rates in a 1:1 or 2:3 ratio with your project’s audio sample rate.
In addition to conforming some files, Adobe Premiere Pro also creates a pek file for any file containing audio when
it is first imported into a project. It uses these pek files for drawing the audio waveforms in Timelines. Adobe
Premiere Pro stores pek files in the Scratch Disk location specified for the Media Cache through the Project Settings
dialog box.
You can use CD audio (CDA) files in a project, but before you can import them into Adobe Premiere Pro, you need
to convert them to a supported file format, such as WAV or AIFF. You can convert CDA files using an audio appli-
cation such as Adobe Audition®.
Note: Make sure that you own the copyrights or have licensed the copyrights to any audio tracks you use.
