Audio

Stream your timeline audio to your iPhone, and choose between Low Latency and Lip Sync.

Audio

PreviewMonitor can send your timeline's audio to your iPhone alongside the picture, so your phone is a complete reference monitor — sound and vision together.

Turning audio on

Audio rides along with the stream, but it has to be switched on in Premiere's playback settings first.

In Premiere Pro, go to Settings → Playback and tick PreviewMonitor's Audio Stream (it appears as PremiereLive in the device list). Without it, the picture streams but the sound doesn't. See Install & enable the plugin.

On the iPhone, the speaker button in the top bar mutes and unmutes playback. If the host has audio output turned off, that button shows a warning and opens a short guide explaining how to enable it in Premiere.

Audio Sync modes

In the iPhone Settings panel, under Audio, you can choose how the sound lines up with the picture. This is a phone-side choice — the same audio is sent either way; the app just buffers it differently.

  • Low Latency — keeps the audio as immediate as possible. Best when you want sound to respond instantly, for example while scrubbing or checking sync against the room.
  • Lip Sync — buffers a little more so the audio lines up tightly with the (slightly decode-delayed) video. Best when you're judging whether dialogue matches mouth movement on screen.

Which to pick: start with Lip Sync if you care most about audio and video matching up; switch to Low Latency if you'd rather have the snappiest possible response and don't mind a small offset.
