Have you encountered a jumpy audio track in your Premiere Pro video editing workflow? Convert it to a WAV file in Adobe Audition!<\/h2>\n

There are few situations more frustrating than throwing an audio file<\/strong> into your Premiere Pro timeline<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>only to discover that the track simply does not work. The audio<\/a> jumps.<\/strong> It skips.<\/strong> It’s a total workflow interruption<\/strong> encountered by many Premiere Pro<\/strong> users.<\/p>\n

Why does it happen? One of the possible problems with the file could be that MP3s are sometimes compressed as variable bit rates<\/strong>, whereas Premiere exclusively works with constant bit rates<\/strong>.\u00a0Fortunately, there is an easy fix if you have access to the often underappreciated Adobe Audition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Open Track in Audition<\/h3>\n

\"Solving<\/p>\n

Moving the clip over is a two-click process. Right-click<\/strong> on the track, then select Edit Clip In Adobe Audition<\/strong> from\u00a0the drop-down menu.\u00a0This will open up Audition<\/strong> with the track automatically set on the timeline.<\/p>\n

2. Convert Track to WAV<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Once you’re in Audition, hit Save As<\/strong> and\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0simply change the format from MP3<\/strong> to WAVE PCM (*.wav, *bwf)<\/strong>. Hit OK <\/strong>and import the converted track\u00a0back into Premiere Pro.<\/strong> The breaks, blips, and jumps should now be gone, sparing you the hassle of recording new audio or purchasing a new track<\/a>.<\/p>\n
