SoundBind - Premium Sound Desing Extension for Premiere Pro

*ONLY FOR WINDOWS* *Premiere 2020 and up*

SoundBind is an Adobe Premiere Pro extension developed by an editor, for editors, to drastically speed up your sound design workflow! You can use the extension to attach keystrokes to any sound file and insert them in the timeline with the click of a button. SoundBind remembers every sound, group, and profile you've made, so when you load up Premiere Pro again, there's no need to go rummaging through your file directories looking for your favorite sounds! I'm confident this extension will change the way you edit, and significantly reduce the time it takes you to do sound design.

SoundBind allows its users to create groups, import sounds into them, and use a single keybind to insert all the audio files in a group at once!

Not only does SoundBind allow users to set keybinds for their sounds, but the volume of each one can be determined before it's inserted!

When multiple sounds share the same color label, SoundBind randomly selects one to insert, automatically adding variety to your sound design. Use this feature along with the group insert function or for individual sounds within the same category to streamline your workflow and eliminate the repetitive task of manually selecting sounds.

UPDATES:

Version 1.0.1:

1) Fixed a background color bug on older Premiere versions.

2) Fixed latency problems with group creation

3) Fixed a random "Failed to locate inserted sound" alert that would make the audio setting fail.

4) Added the option to have the color labels for sounds be reflected on the timeline. For example, labeling a group of colors "mango" for the sound variation function will also label those sounds "mango" when they are inserted in the timeline.

This function can be toggled in the settings menu.

5) Added track targeting functionality. Sounds will begin insertion only in targeted tracks. If there is no available space in the targeted tracks at play head position, the sound will be inserted in the next track after the highest numbered targeted one.
