Adjusting audio levels for authoring

Hello,
Is it possible to raise the audio levels in Encore so the levels are higher for the muxed DVD than the source audio files themselves?  Is there a way to do this in an Encore timeline?
Thanks,
Mtbakerstu

Welcome to the forum.
Audio Level/Gain adjustment will need to be done in PrPro, or perhaps Audition.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Adjusting audio levels for selected parts of clips

    1.) How can I select a portion of audio in the Viewer and adjust just that portion's auudio using the Level option?
    2.) What is the easiest way to remove parts of audio while someone is speaking and says a quick "ugh" or emits a breath sound?
    Thanks!

    the problem with removing offending sounds is that you will usually notice the drop out of room tone. In this case, find a clean piece of audio and use that to replace the offensive sound.
    This is VERY easy to do in soundtrack pro.
    If you are intimidated by the pen tool, you can blade the clip in the timeline and adjust levels on individual sections and add dissolves to make the adjustment gradual.

  • Adjust audio levels between keyframes

    Hello,
    What is the shortcut to adjust audio levels between keyframes (in sequence)? I know the shortcut CTRL ] [ , but this shortcut adjust audio level for entire audio.
    I also know I can drag up and down the levels between keyframes using mouse. But some months ago I saw a tip ( from Steve martin) showing
    how to adjust audio levels between keyframes using a shortcut..and better,in RT. but I forgot what is the shortcut.
    thx

    there is no shortcut command for this in FCP, you need to use the mouse to drag the audio level up or down
    perhaps its another application your thinking of?

  • Adjusting audio levels in a clip

    I've just stepped up to iMovie 08 and I cant seem to find a way of creating different audio levels for the one clip. It seems like there is just one audio level *per clip*. Unlike the old version where you could adjust the audio 'wave' up and down where ever you wanted.
    Is this correct.

    It's a while since I used iMovie '08, but from memory I think the audio worked in a similar fashion to iMovie '09. In iMovie '09 you can right-click (Control-click) on a clip, then select Split Clip from the pop-up menu. First, click and drag across the clip to highlight with a yellow border the section where you wish to adjust the volume. Then right-click and choose Split Clip. The section you highlighted will now show as a separate clip.
    Click on the small gear icon on the separated clip and choose Audio Adjustments from the pop-up menu. In the Inspector that opens you can adjust the volume of the clip. Also, if you have a separate music track or voiceover running under the clip, you can use the Ducking feature to reduce the volume of the other tracks. Tick the Ducking box and move the slider to the desired level. You can also fade the audio in and out on the main video track for the separated clip.
    Sorry if this advice is not entirely applicable to iMovie '08 (I don't have access to that version at the moment). But this is how it works in iMovie '09, if that helps at all.

  • Adjusting Audio Levels Of Two Tracks

    How do you adjust the audio level's of different tracks. I have a video and for parts I want the background music (two channel stereo) to play and for other parts I want to hear the audio from the video (two channel stero). Also, for some parts I want to hear a mix of the two tracks.
    From previous experience the audio from music is a lot louder than the audio from my video camera thus, I will need to adjust the volume of the music track (make quieter) or the audio of my video track (make louder) to obtain a consistent audio level for the whole movie.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Changing audio levels?
    At the bottom left of the Timeline is a button with a ZigZag line. This is called the Overlays, it puts lines over the clips in the Timeline that can be adjusted, they represent the audio levels or video opacity in the case of video tracks.
    With the lines visible, Click the Pen Tool (P key) and the cursor changes to a Pen Nib. Click the red line in the audio tracks to insert Key Frames (pink dots).
    You can drag them up and down to change volume. Put in at least two to change levels from one point to the other, they can be dragged left or right as well, to lengthen a fade, for example.

  • How do I adjust audio levels at various points on timeline??

    How do I make volume level adjustments in a single clip on the FCP-X timeline?  I have a music bed and need to adjust audio levels at various points in the song.  In past Final Cut programs.  This should be very easy but I can't find how to do it in Final Cut Pro-X.  I don't want to adjust the entire clip.
    Also, I recorded voice on channel 2 and shot gun on channel 1.  I only want the voice (channel 2).  How can I select a individual channel once I have edited the piece.  I know I can re-import the video and designate which channel to bring in but I don't want to have to do that.
    Thanks!!

    Select a range and lower the level, or hold the Option key to click on the level line to add a keyframe.

  • Adjusting audio volume for all slides?

    I can easily do this for one slide, but when I Shift-click to
    select all slides, then apply Captivate's Audio / Edit Timing menu
    option, the dialog shows me an Adjust Volume option that adjusts
    the volume for all slides in the movie. But, when I adjust the
    volume and press OK to exit the dialog, the new volume setting is
    not saved with my movie. Is this a bug? Anyone?

    Hi boonedogr and welcome to our community
    In the words of Yoda: Hmmm, seems a bug we have found!
    So here is how to make it stick.
    1. Click Audio > Edit timing... and you should see the
    "Edit Audio Timing" dialog.
    2. Click the Insert Silence toolbar button. This should
    produce the "Insert Silence" dialog.
    3. Change the "Insert" field so it reflects 0.001seconds of
    silence.
    This step is necessary to trick Captivate into accepting the
    audio has indeed changed. I use 0.001 seconds as it is the minimum
    you can insert and it should have absolutely no discernable effect
    on your movie.
    4. Now click the Adjust Volume button to see the "Adjust
    Volume" dialog where you can alter the volume level as well as
    boost dynamics and whatnot.
    5. Make adjustments as desired.
    6. Click OK to dismiss the Adjust Volume dialog.
    7. Click OK to dismiss the Edit Audio Timing dialog
    At this point, you should notice several progress indicators
    as the audio clips for all slides with audio are adjusted to
    reflect your new settings.
    *NOTE: This will have no effect on Background Audio or Object
    Level Audio. Those clips will need to be adjusted manually as a
    separate process.
    Hope this helps a bit... Rick

  • Adjusting audio levels in iMovie HD

    Hello all,
    I just completed a 10 min video for a friends son's bar mitzfah and need to adjust the audio levels of the songs I used. What is the fastest way to accomplish this? At the bottom of the viewer in iMov ie HD is a speaker with 100% next to it, is that what I use?
    Thanks,

    Welcome to discussions!
    Highlight the audio (it will turn purple) by clicking on it.
    Then check the edit audio box and use the "100 %" slider to your liking. Be sure to uncheck the edit audio box when you are done.

  • How to adjust audio level on timeline?

    Hi,
    I want to adjust the audio level using the pen tool on an audio track of the timeline... and I've done it before, but I can't for the life of me remember how. I've imported a voiceover, and have a separate track with the background music. How do I adjust the music level up/down at the point where the narration kicks in/out?
    Thanks very much!
    Vic

    Click on the Clip Overlays button (the zig-zag line at the bottom left of the Timeline window). That will give you a pink line in the middle of your audio tracks where you can use the pen tool.

  • How do I shift clips and audio and adjust audio levels in CS5.5

    OK, a couple of things.
    I'm trying to shift everything over (this includes videos, some name supers, and unlinked audio) so I can insert some music here and there. I can drag the music on to Audio 2 or something, but I still want to scoot everything else over a couple of seconds. Is there an easier way to do this?
    Secondly, I want to adjust the audio levels on the music. SO I want it to start off soft, grow louder, then back down until you don't even notice it. How would I do this? Thanks.

    For the Nudging of multiple Assets, have you tried Selecting them all, and then using the Cursor Keys (arrows) to Nudge, one Frame at a time?
    For the ramping up/down of the Audio Volumes, there are several ways to do that. Keyframing the Fixed Effect>Volume (in the Effects Control Panel) will allow one to adjust the Volume up/down over time. If you have never done Keyframing, then I would start with the Help File, as there are a lot of things to learn. Once, however, you have concepts and mechanics down, Keyframes are easy, and so very powerful.

  • CS6 - how do I adjust audio level part way through a clip using audio mixer?

    Hi there - I'm using the trial version of CS6 and will almost certainly buy it. I've watched lots of the video tutorials but am stumped on this simple issue!
    1. Let's say I have a clip and I want to increase the audio level part way through a clip.
    2. In Example A below I have added a keyframe at the point I want to change the volume.
    3. I then went to the audio mixer and increased the volume level using the slider. But nothing changed on the clip.
    4. The only way I could get it to work was to add more key frames after the first one (see Example B) and increase the volume on the timeline.
    5. This is very fiddly and I'd prefer to be able to do this using the audio mixer. Is this possible?
    Example A                                                                                                              Example B

    With the proper Send settings (Write, Touch, etc., as Craig mentions), you can easily ride the Volume in real-time. I like to add a Numbered Marker to where I want the adjustment to begin, hold, and then end, so that I have several visual clues, besides the aural ones.
    I also have found that the default setting for Audio>Minimal Time Thinning Interval places too many Keyframes on the Track, so I have bumped that up in Preferences.
    Also remember, the Keyframes added with Audio Mixer are Track Keyframes, and not Clip Keyframes. If you were to remove all Clips, those Keyframes would still be there, and would affect any Clips that you added back.
    Good luck,

  • Low Audio Level for USB Audio device

    Hello,
    I'm recording a voice over for a keynote presentation.
    -The internal mic records just fine, but when I use an external usb mic, the level into keynote registers very low.
    - in the system preferences the audio input for this exteral mic is perfectly fine.
    -the mic has been tested in a pc and records just fine at a good level
    -the same thing happens when I run a mic through a mixing board and use the line in on the mac...it shows up fine in audio settings, but has a low level in keynote.
    any ideas?

    I'm glad you mentioned the preset, Silal. I kept meaning to bring that up, but forgot.
    Set Preprocessing to None. That will keep high level short duration sounds, like drums, etc., from overtaking your dialog, and crushing it.
    The way DIALNORM is intended to work, you set it to the average level of your dialog from your editing app. If you're working in FCP, then that might be something like -12. That setting will cause the player to attenuate the level so dialog is attenuated by 19dB (-31 minus -12 = 19dB of attenuation by the player).
    That, in turn, allows the ridiculously loud music and nat sounds in the film soundtrack to sound "more natural", as they blast your ear drums into bits. "More natural" means "much louder than dialog, just like they are in real life".
    Bah, humbug! Let me hear what the talent is saying. I don't care if I can hear every nuance of that rock ballad, I just want to be able to follow the story, the plot.
    Hey, I'm an old dude, you whippersnappers.
    But back to the point, by setting DIALNORM to -31, the player works out the math like this:
    -31 minus -31 = 0dB of attenuation
    So, your level should be exactly what it was before the compression/conversion. Why it isn't is a mystery, still.

  • Audio Level for the web

    What audio level does one set for video files to be viewed on a web page? (specifically Flash)
    I realise there is probably no "Standard" for this but what process/levels have others used.

    Firstly - I have followed Andrews advice and peaked to just under 0db. (This is what I would do for a DVD export as well since I am not coping with Broadcast reference levels.) Thanx Andrew (I dont usually do web work so needed some tech reasurance)
    Heres the go.
    No the site I linked to is not my work but I am doing exactly the same for that same client (and a different product range). Just a litle more interactive. User will click on a Q and A and the subjects will answer.
    The client is not only concerned about technical details (which they leave to me), they are also concerned about the aesthetics and design. They did not want a player visible at all.
    The design for all their work is covered by a "style book" so we all follow that for all work. Basically it is "clean/fresh".
    The idea of a clean screen without the player visible fits this concept and it is cool and fun. Suits the target audience. Teens/ youth.
    I deliver flv with alpha (and swf) to the web guys who bolt it into the page and to the Q/A links.
    I shot green screen then keyed the characters. I then composited the two characters beside each other for a large number of clips. The characters give the impresion of interacting with each other. Heads turn to each other at various times. Some of the clips are looped but all needed registration to avoid "shifts". Time consuming but great little project
    The movie can be stopped by simply clicking another Q/A link or other stuff on the page. If this is done the characters simply stay on screen in their "Iddle/Wait" state. They do not dissapear of the screen. This maintains the look and design.
