Audio sounding Dull & low - After export

Hi there,
I'm editing in Premiere Pro CS4. If you see the images below, it will tell you a bit more about the system and settings I'm using. I gave my customer a DVD and she complained about the audio. I asked her to email me the description of what she wasn't happy about, and she wrote this: 'with the audio the sound quality was lost it wasn't crisp and clear. And the base and beats were very low. Came out as very dull sound'. Now I agree with her. One of my fellow editors who uses another system produced a video, and imediately I noticed how wonderful the sound was. I could feel the base and hear more of the instruments.
My original audio peaked like this:
I asked someone what was the best level to put it at and they said let it peak at -6. So now my audio peaks like this:
After the complaint, I asked a few more people, and they said that the green level of the audio should be reaching level 6. So now my audio peaks like this:
Now I'm not sure if the above settings have fixed the problem, but at least on the computer it sounds better.
This is the version of Premiere I'm using:
This is some info about my computer:
File properties before export:
File properties after export:
Project settings:
These are my export settings:
I hope this is enough information and I appreciate any help. Let me know if you need me to gather more info.

haha very funny.
Certainly not. :-) I've actually noticed it even before she mentioned something to me. Maybe I'm mistaken. You sound as though nothing should be wrong with my audio. Is that right? Judging from my settings.

  • Unwanted sound coming through after export

    After completing two projects in imovie '09 I exported the projects via the export option. Upon playing the exported projects sound from the actual video comes through even though it was muted in the original iMovie project. When I play the project in iMovie it plays fine and there is no original audio coming through but as soon as I export it, the audio comes through. I have tried to export it and save it as .mov, mpeg, you name it but no matter what I do the original audio always comes through after export. Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions? HELP!

    Thanks for the reply. The point at which the audio comes through is a clip that I have sped up; however, once the audio comes through during that clip it continues to come through on the following clips that are regular (not sped up or slowed down.) Do you think that because the clip is altered in that manner that it is corrupting the clip through export? Thanks

  • Export videos to YouTube but audio isn't there after exporting

    I exported my video to YouTube via Quicktime but audio isn't there after I go to the YouTube link. I turned up my volume all the way but no sound comes out. I JUST upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8 TODAY ON JUNE 23RD! Has anyone else experienced this AFTER upgrading to 10.6.8? With 10.6.7 I could export videos perfectly. AND AFTER upgrading to 10.6.8, it takes FOREVER for the video to export to YouTube. It takes hours!

    OK so I tried a few more videos. The first had the problem but the several more I tried a few more and they worked fine. Then I went back to the first and it started working fine again. So the problem seems to have gone away.

  • Audio problems in iMovie11 after exporting

    Hey everyone!
    I have been suffering from a problem that I have no clue how to fix. So I created my video 9min long with all sorts of stuff (logos, various songs, voicerovers, detached audio, attached audio haha, cutaway picture, etc etc) and everything is fine with the sound while its still in the library. The movie is made and ready to export. BUT when I export and create a .mov file (HD 780 or 1080) the sound gets messed up and sudden gaps of silence appear out of nowhere. Usually those gaps appear at the end of the clip. Also the more I export the movie the more problems it appears to have..... So now besides the silence gaps, in 2 scenes the sound goes like you're under water for a second or so, and then goes back to normal. AGAIN this happens ONLY after exporting. Before rendering everything is fine on my imovie, sound is in tact and whatnot. But after exporting I face these issues that I have to solve somehow..
    Please help someone, it's urgent!
    Thank you in advance.

    Extract, or detach, the audio and make sure the audio is in sync.

  • Audio out of sync after export!

    I've exported this video I've been working on several times under different conditions, no effects, no transitions, no additional media, different formats between AVI, MPEG, H.264, I've uninstalled and re-installed premier, running as administrator.  I have done everything in my known knowledge of troubleshooting to figure out why after exporting this video my audio sync is off by two seconds, nothing I've done has worked.
    Video Source
    AVI
    1920x1080
    60 fps
    I'm matching the source as export other times I've not, again I've tried multiple combinations.

  • Slideshow audio timing is off after export to QT movie

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto and put one song with it. I times all the slide durations so that the music would fade out exactly at the end. After exporting to a QuickTime movie, however, the slideshow is finished before the song is... the song is off by at least ten seconds.
    I believe I get better image quality if I do the show in iPhoto as opposed to iMovie, which is why I used iPhoto to begin with. But if the show will not synch, what other choice do I have?
    Any suggestions?

    Did you take into account the transition times. That has thrown me off a number of times. Do you have the Fit Slideshow to music option selected?
    Another application that creates, IMO, terrific slideshows is PhotoPresenter. It has 25 or more themes and can save the slideshow, with Fit slideshow to music, to a variety of formats, QT, for iPod, HD, etc. This is one of their many themes.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Please help.  My audio track is too low after exporting movie made with Premiere Pro to YouTube.

    Hello.  My crew and I recently completed post-production on an  independent film.  We used Adobe Premiere Pro 5.0 for video and audio  editing.  We had a very low budget for production, so we didn't have the best audio equipment to record sound with.  So in editing, we had to do quite a bit of sound mixing to minimize background/ambient noise and interferences/distortions caused by large electrical appliances in some indoor scenes, such as taverns and cafes.  We managed to clean up the audio, and the audio ultimately sounded great.  However, when we exported the film to YouTube, the entire audio track sounded low.  To hear the film at an adequate level on YouTube, the volume has to be turned all  the way up.  I'm wondering what can be done to export the film to YouTube and maintain strong, optimal audio volume/quality.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you and take care.

    As Jeff of Safeharbor noted, you really need to check the audio meters in Prpro with your "final" project. I found that I could have a sound level that played fine on my computer, but ... on exporting to a DVD ... was way low and required a very high setting on any other computer or a tv to be able to hear. I hadn't actually looked at the audio meters. On checking them ... yeah, the peak was down about -18, the main content of the talking-heads was below that. After raising it with PrPro's audio tools, the sound was fine.
    I'd bet your sound is showing low on the meters ...

  • IMovie sound quality changes after export and is terrible

    when i export my imovie the sound quality becomes bad and sounds like my speakers are blown but their not, it sounds perfectly fine in imovie but after its exported it changes to worse, anyone know how to fix this?

    Check your audio levels. and if necessary, reduce the levels so that the audio stays under the 0 DB line. If you have audio that is yellow or red, reduce the level. This video shows an example of how to do this. Click on the video All New Audio Editing."

  • 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
    regards

  • I've lost my audio in the project, after exporting

    I exported my project, and then wanted to modify the project still further- which I did. Only to find that all of my own audio has disappeared- that is, the green tabs are still there in the timelines, but they don't play anymore. Only the Apple jingles and sound effects are still audible. Did exporting it close it down somehow definitively?
    Any help gratefully appreciated.

  • Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

    Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
    Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
    I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
    My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Editing Time base: 23.98
    Quicktime video settings: Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz
    Depth: 16bit
    Clip format:
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    Vid Rate: 23.98
    Compressor: HDV 1080p24
    Audio Rate 48 KHz
    Audio Format: 16bit

    I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

  • Audio missing in FCP after export

    Hi
    So I have an audio track in FCP which I sent to STP and added a limiter and reduce noise filter to. Saving it and going back to FCP I notice that 2 seconds are missing from the end of the audio.
    I sent the referenced clip with no handles.
    Now my sound is out of sync.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Did you do a Send to a Multitrack Project?
    STP expects to see 48k audio coming from FCP and send aiff 48k back as an exported file.

  • Audio tracks are clipped after export to Quicktime

    I have a small (16 slides) keynote file that runs perfectly in Keynote.
    I have individual voice audio files for each slide as well as a seperate "master" soundtrack running in the background.
    When I export to QT the individual voice audio track is clipped off at various times on each slide. The slide's other transitions continue to run with the background music playing just fine. The next slide begins as expected, playing all sound files, until the individual voice audio file is cut off again.
    Exporting at different resolutions seems to produce the same frustrating results.
    The background music is a QT movie file. The voice-over is an Mp3.
    Thanks for your help.

    Doesnt solve the problem. the soundtrack is synced at first but then is progressively, increasingly out of sync. A couple of seconds late on a 7-minute film.

  • Hp omen audio volume so low after windows 10 upgrade

    i upgraded to windows 10 and i find that the audio volume level is really low compared to how it was on window 8.1 i checked that realtek high definition audio driver is properly installed the volume now even when i max it out is really low  its so hard to watch even youtube

    It does appear the drivers were not included in the Windows 10 operating system and are not available for download on the driver page. They may be added in the future but for now we can only try using Windows Updates to install. If you go to Start > Settings > Update and Security > Make sure you're on the Windows update tab and select the Advanced settings button. Make sure the box to install optional updates is checked, and then check for available updates. Install any available updates and restart your PC.  After this go into Device Manager and right click the WWAN adapter. Select Update driver software and let it search automatically. If it does not find the driver automatically try it again but select the option to specify a driver. You will get to a page that asks to select a vendor and model. Click the Windows update button to refresh the list of available drivers and look for your WWAN adapter.  If you do not know which WWAN adapter is in your model (it should show the name but may show Unknown Device or Network adapter) right click on it, go to Properties and select the Details tab. Change the drop down to Hardware Ids and give me the first ID in the list. Thanks.

  • Video and audio out of synch after export

    Hello guys,
    I have 5 minutes long video on timeline.
    1 audio and 3 video layers.
    All looks good, but once I export it as QuickTime self contained movie (current settings) to my desktop, video and audio is out of synch.
    Any ideas what it might be wrong?
    Thank you for any advise.

    Hi
    Did You Render All - first - before Export
    Did You Mixdown Audio - Render Only - last line
    What material was used
    • Video Codec and fps
    • Audio file formats and bit-depth and frequency e.g. .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
    • What kind of Project Set-Up did You use e.g. Easy Set-Up - PAL-48kHz
