Premiere Pro CS6- New Audio Setup Part 1
The audio track setup in Premiere has been completed reworked in CS6. Stereo and mono tracks are no longer, having been totally replaced by standard tracks, that can hold both stereo and mono audio. In addition to the new track behavior, Premiere Pro CS6 has been given a new audio meter that is scalable to be anywhere from tiny to as large as full screen.
Premiere Pro CS6 – Warp Stabilizer
Premiere Pro CS6 brings the stabilization power of After Effects CS5.5 and later right into your timeline. If you have a shaky clip, you can edit it into your sequence, apply the Warp Stabilize effect, and continue to work as Premiere stabilizes the edited portion of the clip in the background. This effect, which gives results formerly only possible from advanced tracking and stabilization methods, lets you smooth out your clips effortlessly. In this video I demonstrate the results from both smoothing motion and completely removing motion and show you some of the more advanced options in the effect.
The Warp Stabilizer, while not a replacement for well shot footage, will be a welcome addition to all editors and is a great new tool in Premiere Pro CS6’s arsenal.

Premiere Pro CS6- New Audio Setup Part 2
In Part 1 of this series I cover using standard tracks. In this video I cover how to layout multi-track mono splits for 5.1 workflows. I show you how you can layout splits given to you by a mixer and the best way to set up your tracks and audio mixer panel in Premiere Pro CS6 to insure your tracks are output correctly.
