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 adjustment in multicam clip

    I have a multicam clip in which the and I am trying to reduce the "squech" from a P.A.'s feedback.
    I have four cameras, and the section I'm working on has the video from Camera 3 and the Audio is from Camera 3 as well. This is not the case with ALL of the P.A.'s feedback occurances, however.
    I tried to isolate the section of the multicam in the timeline, then chose "Expand Audio and Video," but when I tried to lower the volume in the section, it seemingly has no effect.
    I tried doing the same only chosing "Expand Audio Components," but got the same results.
    When I expanded the clip, it displays an "2" within a speaker icon (?), then the date and time of the clp then "a1." Does that mean that I'm trying to adjust the audio from Camera 1, even though I'm not using that?
    If you can suggest the workflow in order to isolate and adjust the audio used in a multicam clip, I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary

  • No volume adjustment for video clips

    Hi there!
    I have noticed that the volume adjustment for video clips, set in the options pane of the clip itself, will not be respected by iTunes while playing the video.
    Is there someone else with a similar issue or already with a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    I've tested all versions since 10.0.1 (for PC) and none work. Versions 10.0.1 and below will allow you to change the volume adjustmant and the equalizer setting for individual videos. No answer from apple!  You can try an older version like I did.

  • Audio Sample Rate for Video Clips?

    How do you check the audio sample rate for a clip of video?
    Thanks.

    scroll over in the browser until you get to the column for audio. That's one way.

  • Record Level Adjust for Audio in Voice Memo or Video Recorder

    I would like to request that Apple allow me to adjust the record audio volume level when recording in Voice Memo or Video Recorder modes. Often I find that the audio is distorting and most times I cannot step back far enough to avoid distortion levels. While I love the ability to SEE the audio level in Voice Memo mode, I am hoping that it is only a matter of firmware upgrade to be able to ADJUST the record level.
    Also, if it is possible, it would be great to see some indication of audio level when recording video... something simple like a bar graph with green, yellow and red bars with the highest level reached sticking for a few seconds so that I can tell what the level is.
    An alternate solution (if none of the above is possible in a firmware update) would be to automatically adjust the recording level to prevent audio distortion.
    Thanks for the great iPod and here's hoping for a great firmware update in the near future!

    Thanks, I've submitted my recommendation to Apple.

  • 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 Gain Adjustment for LOUD sounds sources?

    Any developers know if a hardware adjustment like an audio level gain control is possible within a third party application. My canon digital camera allows me to manually attenuate loud sound sources with the assistance of a peak meter to prevent distortion from loud sound sources such as those in a live concert setting.
    It's sad to see all these youtube video clips from live concerts with totally blown out audio which could have been prevented by a simple mic gain adjustment.

    OK, I might have found a workaround. If you are indeed talking about mono audio mapped to stereo, there's a fairly simple solution: instead of using Audio Gain on a clip in a sequence, simply use it a on clip in the bin/Project Panel instead. To do this, just select the clips you want to use Audio Gain on, and then go to Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain (CS5.5 has added this to the right-click menu). Even when mapped to stereo, there is no crash--at least, not in my testing. It seems to be OK even when the clips are already used in a sequence; note that it won't affect clips already in the sequence, though.
    Does that work for you? Just did a quick test here...

  • CUBE Automatic Audio Level Adjustment

    I am looking for some assistance on the following scenario.
    SIP Provider ---- Cisco CUBE (3925) ---- CUCM 9.1 ------ 7945G.
    The 7945G places outbound call to a remote device. The remote device  says the audio level is low. Is there a way  on the CUBE to ensure an automatic gain control?
    We are looking to do this at the CUBE level as to normalize the audio level as we have a hundred people making 10,000 to 12,000 calls per day.
    I have found the following command for the dial-peer audio outgoing level-adjustment, but this appears to just adjust the gain/loss at a specific level, we are looking for it to dynamically adjust the gain/loss.
    Thanks
    Danny

    No, this is a pretty common technique, though I don't seem to see it too often at the end of a soundbite. It's used frequently in news magazine types of shows, most often when introducing a person or interview subject to the viewer for the first time. For example:
    You're watching a story about competitive potato chip eating. You've just seen a few moments of location b-roll and action footage of potato chip eating competitions, whilst the reporter uses a voiceover to begin telling the story, probably about the rigors of training for such an event. As the reporter begins to talk about the world-ranking potato chip eater, the video cuts to this individual in an interview setting, and it's clear from the video that he's blathering away. However, there is no audio from the interview, just the reporter's VO setting up the soundbite. You might hear something like, "Joe Schmo, world-ranking potato chip eater, trains over sixty hours each week". At that point, the interview audio cuts in quickly, almost as if it's completing the thought in the VO, eg. "Training is hard work. It's almost like a job". And so on and so forth...
    You could do the same to exit from a soundbite, but I personally think that means you've selected the wrong soundbite to use. The interviewee isn't completing the thought, hence the need to dip out of the audio quickly. That said, you can achieve this pretty easily with a very short audio dissolve or (my preference) by keyframing the volume rubberband for a particular clip. It's easier to ramp the audio for a slight ease in/ease out effect that can soften the cut. Something in the neighborhood of 3-4 frames should be all you need. If it's still too abrupt, you may have to lay in some room tone/ambient sound in order to bridge the cut. You can then put a slightly longer fade on this clip to more transparently transition out of the interview.

  • Change audio levels/pan on multiple clips at once?

    Hey folks, any idea if there's a simple speedy way to change the audio level or pan of multiple source clips at once? Not adding a filter etc but just going into clip and making the change, doing these manually one by one right now and would love to find a batch way to do it.
    any help appreciated.
    cheers, J

    Select the level and pan criteria you want on one clip; ctrl+click and select copy. Highlight all of the clips you want to change and then ctrl+click one of the clips and choose Paste Attributes. Select Audio Levels and Pan and all of your selected clips will have the same levels as the original one.
    You can also select a number of clips, select from the pull down menu Modify>Levels, and there you can adjust the levels of your audio for all of the clips selected.

  • 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?

  • IMovie '08 on my mac mini '07 drops audio levels at ends of clips no matter what I do to stop it!

    In some but not all of the clips in my project, the audio level drops down for the last half second or so. I have tried every effing audio setting including setting fade to 0 seconds manual, normalizing, not normalizing, and every combination I can think of, but it's just not working.
    When I google this problem, I find a few unanswered questions going back to imovie 2 in 2003, but no solutions short of remove the auto fade and set manual to zero, which again, isn't working for me. It really ***** to spend a whole afternoon working on a project to have it corrupted beyond repair. Anybody have any ideas of how to fix this, short of getting adobe premiere and/or a newer mac or even, a windows machine?

    Ok, here's another set of step-by-step instructions for configuring an extended network. Please give them a try to be sure you didn't miss anything.
    Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
    If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.

  • Need help with audio wav file in multicam clip

    I created a multicam clip with 3 cameras with crappy, far away, room audio and 1 stereo audio wav file with 2 lavaliere mics of "good Audio" 1 lav left & 1 lav right. on one channel there is a lot of distortion from shirt ruffle etc.... but only at times. I would like to ride the mix and use sections of "good" audio and get rid of sections of "Bad" audio from the one channel. but, I cant figure it out. anyone??? I'm hoping Apple updates this issue soon with great audio support with "simultaneos multicam audio switching!!!" Please, Please Apple...

    You can do what you need right now, no need for Apple to do anything, they've already don it. Check this out.

  • How to use two audio souces in one multicam clip

    I have a three cameras, and an additional audio source.  Making the multicam clip with of the four elements was easy, however I would like to use both the audio from two different sources at the same time.  Is this possible?  I know about switching the audio from one source to the other, but in some cases, I have talent on stage left and on stage right, and I need the audio pick up from both regardless of the video angle.

    You can do it this way.
    In the multicam select audio to left clip.
    Then find the right clip, detach its audio, take its audio & align it to the multicam clips.
    This way you have audio from let & right

  • Audio level different in compound clip

    Experiening an odd audio behaviour. I have created a compound clip and them dropped in interview into it. After that I place a compressor on the interview audio and set it to agerage at -20db. Once I them place the conpound clip onto a project the audio level in the peoject drops by -5db. I need to bump the project audio up +5db to get it back the agerage -20db it is in the compound clip. I have tried this on 2 systems with the same exact results.
    Is this the way it is supposed to behave? And if so why? Seems to me the audio level should stay consistant from the compound clip to the project.
    Mike

    That's odd. When you change the compound should update. Bring the compound clip into the project. Double click the clip to open its component clips. Make any change that's easily reversed – say, disable a clip (V). Close the project. Create a new empty project. Bring the compound to the new project. The disabled clip should not be visible.

  • Flash Video- audio level adjustable?

    How do you boost the audio level on .flv video files? I have
    encoded the original .avi video using the Adobe Flash CS3 Video
    Encoder, created the FLV player within DreamWeaver, and then
    published the site. The audio is barely audible. The audio level of
    the original file was fine.

    thanks man, ive fixed it now thats why you can see them,
    really apreciate you having a look tho, thats our new compilation
    CD coming out soon.
    if anyone is intersted, the problem was a mime setting on
    windows server 2003, you need to add a new MIME type in the IIS.
