In this video, we'll go over a lesson on Audio Ducking. We'll automatically generate keyframes on a music track in order to easily balance dialogue and music.

Hi, this is Margaret with Noble Desktop. Today, we're looking at ducking in Premiere Pro. Ducking is automatically generated keyframes from one audio type to another. We are going to duck music against dialogue, so when there is no dialogue (like right here), the music plays. When there is dialogue, the music will lower.
The first thing to do when you are working with ducking is to adjust the Premiere Pro Preferences Audio, setting a higher number. This tells Premiere Pro what audio type is being ducked against what other audio type.
We can select the whole audio or just the audio, and click on the word "dialogue" in the Essential Sound Panel. Then, select the word "music". Now, we see the word ducking ready for us to use. We can check ducking and adjust the sensitivity, duck amount, or fades.
Generating keyframes defines how much of a ramping of the keyframes you are looking at. It can go from low volume to higher volume gradually or less gradually. The duck amount can be increased for less or more.
Ducking can be a great solution, particularly if you have a lot of dialogue that you need to deliver quickly with music. I hope you've enjoyed this lesson in ducking in Premiere Pro Audio. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
