A good audio level range for export to DVD (for a short film)

Hello,
This question was a bit hard to search for... what is the recommended audio range to keep my project within if I am making a short film which I plan to export to DVD.
As of now, a lot of my audio stays between -30 and -18, even if I turn it up all the way in each clip.  Is it a problem if I add the "Boost" effect to every single audio clip I have?  Or is there a quicker way to turn up the audio (Master volume is already at 100%)
Thanks!

I shoot for about -6dB, with no peaks above 0dB.
Sounds like you have a very weak signal. I'd set away from PrPro and handle this in SB, or Audition. Listen carefully with a good pair of noise-canceling headphones first, and then test on monitors.
Are you working in mono, stereo or 5.1 SS?
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Audio levels won't export when doing a "share."

    Audio levels set with the bar at the bottom, won't work when "shared."
    Also audio volume levels set by clicking on the clip volume line and making dots to drag won't work either. They sound fine in the project but when shared, they all go to regular volume.
    It has nothing to do with "extracting audio." Because I've tried setting the levels in the video track. I've also tried unchecking the audio on the far right toggle for the video track, after extracting the audio and setting volumes in the audio track: it works in the project but not in the production of a Quicktime video via a "share."
    It has nothing to do with transitions or titles as there aren't any.
    I'm working with mpeg 4 clips.

    Hi,
    You don't say how you got the MPEG-4 clips into iMovie - though it was great that you mentioned that they started life as MPEG-4 - nor which version of QuickTime you're using (..sorry to be so pedantic!..)
    iMovie expects to be working with the embedded audio within DV clips, or with .AIFF audio clips, though it can handle other audio formats ..but not so reliably.
    The problem is probably with the type of audio file you've ended up with in iMovie. iMovie writes audio volume levels as a set of 'instructions' within a text file, to tell itself, and other programs, where and how to set those levels for clips. If the audio format can't be properly regulated by iMovie (..e.g; it's in the form of embedded MPEG-1 level 2 audio or MP3 audio, rather than .AIFF..) then iMovie may try to tell QuickTime - while 'Sharing' - "set the audio level at this point to 25%", but QT may be unable to adjust that type of audio file correctly, even though it's correctly reading the instructions.
    See if you can export ('Share') the whole thing as DV, then re-import it - in which case the audio will be in the correct format - and then you should be able to satisfactorily set the audio levels again for a successful 'Share' to QuickTime.
    Others may suggest a simpler or faster way to handle the problem, but that's the first thing which comes to my mind..

  • I Use the last FCX but  I have a prob when I export (share) to dvd the result is over 4GB for a single DVD is about 6 to 9 Gb for a short film of 1h so what can I do to fix this

    These "Share" files are accessed and used by the Create Disc app.
    Create Disc is buried in the FCP X package.
    Applications>FCP X>Show Package Contents>Contents>Plugins>Compressor>Compressor Kit.bundle>Show Package Contents>Embedded Apps>Create Disc
    I'm wondering if having the Compressor Application on a Mac makes a difference to having just FCP X on a Mac and the use of the Sharing feature.
    I have Compressor loaded and find that DVD and Bluray burns from Share without any glitches as some are experiencing.

  • My sounds for my short film aren't playing.

    i am using artificial sounds for my short film.  I had the street noise.  then i added sounds of a door opening and closing and i exported it and it was fine.  the next day the door sounds had an next to them.  i deleted and re added. no but still no sound.  why!?

    YouTube is not down on my iPad. You may want to try a soft reset of your device. Hold the "lock" and "home" buttons at the same time until the screen changes to the Apple logo. If that doesn't work, it can either be a problem with your internet connection. Make sure you can connect to everything else, and then call Apple support.

  • Audio Level Adjustment for Multicam Clip

    Greetings,
    I have 2 issues while some audio tweaking for a Multicam edit.  I have assigned the audio for a single angle to apply to the entire sequence.   There are some clips in the sequence where, at times, I cannot adjust the level of the audio.  It will show the level when clicking with the selector, but it cannot be dragged up or down.   Stranger still, if I select it within a series of clips and use CTRL -/+ to change levels, it is unchanged even though all the others changed.  There is nothing differnent about the clips in question (they are not Compound Clips or anything.) 
    Restarting seems to often fix the above problem.  But it seems to be happening enough that it's a real inconvenience.  Also I am having similar issues with the audio level meter freezing up intermittently.  Sometimes when I toggle audio skimmer it can correct it for a while, but once it starts, a restart is inevitable.   Does anyone have any workarounds for making this work properly? 
    One last question that is not a glitch but a functionality I hope exists but cannot find.  Given that I have one angle of audio for the entire clip, I want very badly - and feel like it should be possible - to make adjustments to the audio as I would if it were one continuous clip; for instance, to be able to select a range across the clip transitions and adjust levels accordingly.  So far the best workaround is to select all the clips and use CTRL -/+ to adjust.  But this allows less control, because I must then go in and adjust sections of clips on the ends that I did not want changed.   Would love to  know if anyone knows a way! 
    Thanks for your time and assistance!
    Brian

    I would think it would be easiest to open the muticlip in the Angle Editor where you would have a clear view of each individual angle and its audio.

  • Audio levels before / after export???

    hi,
    i'm using a background audio track in one of my adventure videos and when i am in PProCS5, the audio is at a good level BUT after i export the video, the audio seems to have gone up a few notches.
    any ideas?
    i only edit the audio levels in PProCS5 down in the audio section of the timeline. i add keyframes and then drag the audio level up and down. is that the right way to do it? is it possible to increase / decrease the audio level by more than the allowable 6dB?
    am i missing a setting when i export the audio?
    i mean, it should all sound the same, in PPro and when i play it in VLC or on my TV?
    thanks!

    In PrPro, there are at least 3 ways to adjust the Levels/Volume of the Audio:
    At the Clip-level, one can Rt-click and adjust the Audio Gain. This is often the least desirable method, but can be used.
    At the Clip-level, one can use the fixed Effect>Volume, and easily Keyframe this Effect. This can be done on the Timeline, or via the Effects Control Panel, and this is the most common method. Remember, this is at the Clip-level, so those Keyframes will follow that Clip, should it be moved.
    At the Audio Track-level, one can use the Audio Mixer to automate the Sends, and set Track Keyframes to control the Levels. This will apply Track Keyframes, which will remain on that Track, even if one replaces the Clips on that Track. The frequency of these Track Keyframes can be adjusted in Edit>Preferences. Remember, these are Track Keyframes, unlike the Clip Keyframes above.
    The display of either Clip, or Track Volume Keyframes can be toggled in the Track Header.
    There are several other Levels/Volume Effects, like Normalize, but they are really something a bit different.
    I agree with Jim's suggestion on doing a DVD (I use RW discs to test - no more coasters), and test the Levels on my reference audio system.
    Good luck,

  • Audio level setting for music tracks in dance recital video project

    I am editing dance recital using the CD music tracks and editing in the audience clapping, some of the music tracks have lower audio level than others.
    I am setting up the audio levels between -3dB (for the lower audio tracks) up to -6dB (for the higher ones) including the audience clapping. I am making the adjustments by listening to the tracks on fixed output volume level.
    My question is if the final output (DVD) will have the the same adjusted audio levels I am hearing, or should I just stick to fixed level (-6dB) for all the tracks? If so is -6dB ideal for DVD output?

    Thanks for your reply Steve,
    I normally watch DVDs on different sound system than the TV, however, from your answer I gather you're setting the master level -18 to -20db. If it is so, are you setting the individual tracks below that, and in my case where the audio levels of the original music fluctuate from high to low, would you set them all on the same level or adjust to hear them out the same?

  • Audio level settings for clips

    is there an easier way to change audio levels of a batch of clips in the timeline,other than going through them one by one ?
    cheers

    yes... select all the clips on the timeline you want to change, then press commandoptionL (altappleL) which will bring up the Gain Control window... you can enter a value here, and all the selected clips will change accordingly.
    In the options box of this window you have Relative and Absolute... Relative means that each clip will be adjusted by the value you enter relative to it's current setting... Absolute means that, no matter what the clips are set at, every clip will change to the value you enter...
    Good luck.

  • Audio Levels Too Low after Burned DVD

    I have had a problem keep arising and now has affected business.
    I videotaped a concert and cut it on FCP 5 and Motion 2. When everything was finished I used Compressor 2.0.1 to encode and then author in DVD Studio Pro 4. I burned a DVD and it played back ok on my desktop but has LOW AUDIO levels on any set top box. I sent a DVD to a client and they had to crank their audio up all the way just to hear the sound though the video quality was fine.
    Is this a common problem and does anyone know how to get better audio levels in this kind of workflow?

    First, confirm that your audio is mixed and you levels are set properly in FCP. (and force render an "audio mixdown" before exporting just to make sure the audio is "finalized...")
    If it this is the case, then take the resulting PCM/AIFF audio file (from the compression of your FCP movie) and turn it into an AC3 audio file.
    I still use the old APACK utility Apple gave with the older DVDSP. It works just fine. (use any app you prefer for this...)
    Here's the settings I use:
    Target System: DVD video
    Audio Encoding 2/0 (L,R)
    Data Rate: 192 kbps
    Dialoge Normalization -31dBFS (this is important because it matches your FCP settings)
    Inside the Preprocessing (tab)
    change the Compression Preset to NONE so it doesn't recompress the file.
    The audio levels of the resulting AC3 file will exactly match those of your original FCP timeline. Should work for you just fine when you import it into DVDSP

  • Help with merged clip decision for a short film

    Greetings and thanks in advance for any perspective you can offer.
    I've begun to edit a short film (10 minutes) that has 3 hours of dailies.  The clips are all merged clips, created with dual system audio and synced with Plural Eyes 3.
    However, before setting to what's sure to be months of work, I wonder if there was a better workflow.  Bear with me.  To begin with, marker comments do not stick with merged clips.  As soon as you select another clip - poof!  They're gone.  And there are other limitations that may or may not affect me down the road.  I guess I'm saying I'm not completely sure what I might want or need to do at some point, but I'm concerned that I'll be limited for using merged clips.
    I've realized I can use Plural Eyes to merge my clips and audio fully outside of Premiere CC.  Those clips, once imported, retain marker comments and suffer no other "unique" limitations.
    It will be a massive undertaking to resync, re-import, and retag and organize everything - but perhaps in the long haul this is prudent?  Or not?
    I'm cutting with Prores 422 at full size 4K, so replacing media isn't a concern.  Anything else I should be worried about?  There's always a chance I'll use a 3rd party to color-correct with a DaVinci.
    Thanks again.

    I shoot for about -6dB, with no peaks above 0dB.

  • Software for animated short films?

    Hello!
    We would like to make some animated short films, and would like to hear any tips people might have on what software to use on OS X.
    An amateur level SW would be sufficient, but if there isn't any available we would consider a pro application.
    All the best, Magnus

    Depends on what type of animation you're looking to do..
    There are several pro level 3D modeling and animation apps including Newtek's LightWave3D and AutoDesk's Maya.
    Search http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com for 'animation' for some other, generally less expensive, alternatives.

  • Is there a way to convert iMovie projects to HDCAM for a short film submission?  They also accept 35mm or D i g i t a l B e t a N T S C.  Help!!!

    I am working on a short film project for a film festival - they require the film to be in either 35mm, Digital Beta NTSC or HDCAM.  Is this possible with IMovie or in Adobe?  I have tried to research this online and am not finding out much information.  I am hoping someone here has knowledge of these types of conversions and can point me in the right direction.  Help!!!  Thank you in advance for any thoughts or ideas!!!

    35mm is film and Digital Beta and HDCAM are tape.
    iMovie is not able to output to tape and even if it were you'd need a the appropriate tape deck to do it.
    Your best bet is to find a television post production house that can take a computer file and output it to tape.
    Where are you located?

  • Audio level jumps on export

    I have created a movie in iMovie HD. I have the ususal video track with its corresponding audio, then I added a background music track and adjusted the volume slider to 15%. All is well and good until I export the movie. When I do, the audio track from the background music jumps up to an ungodly level and completely drowns out the voiceover from the the video track. I have tried rebooting, resaving, nothing seems to help. Any help please!!! I have deadline to meet.

    Your audio from the camcorder should be set to 16-bit/48KHz. I would also make sure to re-sample any "other" audio to the same sampling rate. It is possible that you have inserted an audio track at a different sampling rate but when exported, the program creates a DV file of your sequence thus resampling the audio to a higher level.
    Don't know if that's it... but it could be.

  • Final Cut Pro Audio Levels Low when exporting to mp3 and mp4

    Hi everyone!  When I export audio from Final Cut as an mp3, my levels are very low.  When I export footage as an mp4, the audio is low as well.  But before exporting, my levels are right at or below 0.  So they are where they should be.  So for example, when I open the audio in Adobe Audion or Logic, they could almost be doubled before peaking within those programs.  Could this be a compression issue?  And input would be helpful.  Thanks!

    Are you working 0n 10.0.9? If not, update FCPX and see whether that solves the problem.

  • Audio level drop after exporting from FCP to Comp

    my dialnorm at -31db, precompressor compression setting @ none, any other setting i need to look at??

    do I need both of the audio files that ALL generates, or just the APack lookalike file?
    This is the topic of some debate.
    One camp - which I belong to - believes that you only need the A.pack lookalike (the .ac3 file). This allows you to either fit more video into your project or encode the video at a higher bit rate. Also, there is strong belief by that the inclusion of high data rate AIFF files causes many players to choke. This is the reason that gets the blame for many iDVD discs choking on players, since iDVD uses only AIFF audio for it's projects.
    The exception to the rule (for this camp) is if you're doing a music-based project - a concert, music video or karaoke DVD - where you don't want any compression of the audio.
    But, to try and answer your question directly, if you've successfully used A.Pack files in the past, you should be fine with just the .ac3 file from Compressor 2. At least, that's how I feel about it.
