In my example below, I intend to use a FLAC stream SFX file. In Premiere, position a temporary high-quality WAV file (it can be any song/SFX/audio as long as it’s high quality) where you would like the FLAC file to appear. Instead, let’s take a look at a quick technique to move FLAC files from Audition to Premiere in under a minute. However, converting FLAC files to another format en masse is an audacious task that may not pay off if you end up only using one of several thousand files. There is also an abundance of conversion software that you can use to convert a FLAC file to an MP3 or a WAV file. However, I’ve always been superstitious about installing third-party plug-ins on Adobe products, especially those that aren’t secure - I’ve had one too many bad experiences. I understand there is a plug-in lurking in the corners of the internet that will allow Premiere to read FLAC files. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player just like you would an MP3 file.įLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec, and the only one that at once is non-proprietary is unencumbered by patents, has an open-source reference implementation, has a well-documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations. If you need a little more background on the FLAC format, here’s what you need to know.įLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. Going from FLAC to MP3/WAV or any other format will always export a better file than a compressed format to another compressed format. digital.) Suffice it to say, FLAC is a great archival format. (I won’t get into the FLAC debate - it’s almost as heated as film vs. However, Premiere Pro doesn’t support the FLAC format. Perfect: the lossless format with fantastic sound quality. Several years back, I competed in a 48-hour online editing contest, and I had to work with 30gb of FLAC files. Need an easy way to work with FLAC files in Premiere Pro? Use this simple technique.
