How to Add a Sound Track to a Movie in Premiere

When you open a new project in Premiere 4, three sound (audio) tracks appear in the Construction window. This allows you to incorporate three sources of sound - for example, you might want to use the sound that was recorded with the video, plus background music and a voiceover. For many projects, three sound tracks are sufficient. However, if you want to add additional sound effects, you can create extra sound tracks in your Construction window.

Things You'll Need

• Adobe Premiere

Instructions

1. Open or create a project.

2. Activate the Construction window by clicking on it.

3. Open the Project menu and select Add/Delete Tracks. A window opens.

4. Enter the total number of audio tracks that you want your project to contain.

5. Click OK.

Tips & Warnings

• You can delete audio tracks the same way. In this case, Premiere deletes the highest numbered track first, so you will want to relocate your audio clips to a lower numbered track before performing the deletion.

• It is best to use the same number of audio and video tracks. Otherwise, it can be confusing when you are working with linked clips.
