In this episode, we bring the scene to life with sound effects and ambient sounds. Keyboard sounds that match the image and the atmosphere of a rainy city fill the background. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Stock footage and footage recorded without a good microphone often feels silent. Sound effects, or SFX, emphasize actions on the screen, while ambient sounds build the atmosphere of the place. Both make the viewer feel like they're there.
The sequence includes a hand typing and a roof during the rain. The original sound has already been muted. Play, the image looks good but feels empty and strange because there's no sound at all.
Drag the typing sound effect from the Project panel to track A2 right below the hand typing clip. Play, each finger tap is now audible. Shift the sound clip slightly so the rhythm of the taps feels right with the image. Drag the city rain ambient sound to track A3, throughout the rain roof scene until the end.
Light rain, vehicles in the distance, and the city atmosphere fill the empty space immediately.
Select the typing clip, tag it as SFX in Essential Sound. Select the rain clip, tag it as ambient. Lower the ambient level to around minus 10dB so it becomes the background, not the focus.
Ambient sounds should fade in and out smoothly. Add an audio constant power air transition at the beginning and end of the rain clip. The atmosphere emerges slowly as the image switches to the rain scene.
Play the entire sequence. Compare it with the version at the beginning. The same video now feels alive and real thanks to the right layer of sound.
Done. We've understood the role of SFX and ambience, placed synchronized typing sound effects, added city rain ambience, marked SFX and ambience, adjusted levels, and added crossfades. In the next episode, we'll set YouTube's loudness standard. Need product advertisement videos, business profile videos, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos?
