What a fantastic conference! The Adobe CS3 conference was a two day (June 19 and June 20) networking, product immersion and just plain old fun “experience” for only $199; can’t beat that!

That price not only included a bunch of classes and networking opportunities, but also a fantastic dinner on the first day (I mean shrimp, prime rib, Chinese food and even an open hosted bar).

There were plenty of networking opportunities as well, including the lunches and dinners, the get-togethers after the days ended and a bird-of-a-feather meeting.

Pre-conference Sessions
The conference started with a “Pre-Conference Session”. There were 5 sessions to choose from, including Rich Internet Application for Developers, Video, Management/IT, Photographers and Print Service Providers.

During a video taping session I had in the studio the other day, after transferring my files from my Adobe OnLocation Project to my editing machine (I’ll blog about my workflow…which I think was great in a later blog) I noticed that some of my .avi files contained some clicks and pops. I’m not sure if this was caused due to the Microphone I had (it never did that before) or if it was something in the way onLocation captured the videos. (I need to do more research and will report my findings).

Regardless, instead of recapturing all of my video again (I also captured to tape at the same time as to hard drive), I decided to do some clean up on the audio of the video using Adobe Audition. Read on below to see my workflow:

Let’s start by creating your project in Premiere Pro 2 and then doing your rough edit. Below is my sample project that I already created and did a rough edit on.

Once you are done with your rough edit and want to do some sound cleanup, identify your offending clip and ALT + Click on your offensive audio click to “unlink it” from your video. Then Right click on the audio click and select “Edit in Adobe Audition”.
