Please, I need your help in order to potentially save a lot of tedious, time-consuming and repetitive work!

I recorded a concert of a gentlemen singing and as a result have approx 25 clips of his music. I want to add reverb to all of the clips at once on the timeline and not individually clip by clip which would be tedious. Never done it before.

How does one accomplish that so it will be both quick and easy relatively speaking?

Knowing this would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Bruce...

I don't do much sound work within Premiere, but if it is a Premiere effect that you wish to apply, you should be able to apply it and tweak to your liking to your first clip. Make sure the Effects Control Window is open... then just copy the effect from that window..... click on each subsequent clip and paste into its Effects Control window.

You have to paste to each clip individually... but the effect and its settings will copy/paste saving loads of time.

There are several ways to do this and they are harder to describe than to do.

If every audio clip will have the same attributes and settings, then make all the edits and apply all the audio effects to your first audio clip. Click on it to highlight it. Click Edit-Copy (or press CNTL-C). Then, back on your timeline, lasso or highlight all your audio clips, and click Edit - Paste Attributes (or press CNTRL-SHFT-V).

Another way is to use nested sequences techniques within Premiere: (a) assemble your timeline with all your video edits (we will call this "Sequence 1"); (b) if you are going to fade-in and out between each clip, place all the audio fade-ins and outs on the clips in audio tracks in Sequence 1; (c) open a new sequence (call this "Sequence 2"); (d) go to the project box, find the listing for Sequence 1 and drag it across the screen onto the timeline in Sequence 2; (d) apply Adobe's reverb audio-effect to the audio track in Sequence 2.

Alternatively, you could export the audio track from Sequence 1 (File-Export-Media -audio format), edit that file in an audio editor (such as Soundbooth, Sound Forge, etc.), import that edited file back into Premiere, and then lay it over the audio track on your timeline.
