HELP!!!


Please I need a little help with my premiere pro 2
I can't hear the audio on the timeline but meters indicate I have sound.

For Me as mostly a linux user i use kdenlive,Avidemux & Cinelerra.

They come with a learning curve but once you use them regularly its not so bad.

hmmm...
Maybe you have "shied" the audio layer. Click on the audio icon (eye) in front of the layer timeline to turn it on or off.

PP2 is really old but it was what I first used back then.
Also, you can try to get a better version of premiere pro like CS4-6. So you'll not miss out on some cool features.

Great editors in the house, please kindly enlighten me on color grading...I use Adobe Premier Pro CS 5.5

Color grading can be done on PP CS 5.5 but it brings little noise after rendering. You will need After effect or some dedicated plug-ins for professional color grading.
here is a tutorial by a nairalander for you: CLICK: https://www.nairaland.com/1929075/two-point-lighting-color-grading


As for the audio, there are special audio editing suites that can help reduce background noise like adobe audition.

But you can still rescue the sound in Premiere pro.
To reduce noise:
Right click on the audio layer.
click on "audio gain".
From the dialogue box that appears click on "normalize maximum peak".
Adjust the db to a value where the real sound is present. e.g if u see a peak at -8db and noise at -10db. Set max peak to -8db.
Increase the overall volume of the audio clip by raising the yellow rubber band to the highest.
Finish!
(this is how I do mine but there may be other methods which I don't know)

There is no proof what you have just said about the noise in premier pro. Although all my grading needs are now done on davinci reslove.
