Can't adjust volume of audio clips

For some reason sliding the audio volume on the clip does absolutely nothing to the volume when I play it back!
Please tell me what's wrong.

Is the audio contained within the clip, that is, is it the audio initially recorded with the video? Or is the audio an added soundtrack (music or voiceover)? If it is the added soundtrack, you need to click on the small gear icon on the green or purple track that sits under the thumbnails - not on the clip thumbnails themselves - then select "Audio Adjustments" from the pop-up menu. The Inspector will open, allowing you to make the appropriate adjustments to the volume etc.
If you have dragged a music soundtrack into the background of your project, so that the whole background is coloured green, click on the small gear icon located in the upper left corner, select "Audio Adjustments" and continue from there, as above.
Likewise, if you wish to adjust the volume on the actual video clips, select the clips and click on the gear icon on one of them and follow the steps above. To select a range of clips, if the clips are adjoining click on the first clip then Shift-click on the last. If not adjoining, click on the first then Command-click on each of the others in the range.
Hope I'm not misunderstanding what you may have already tried!

  • Adjusting volume on multiple clips

    How can I adjust volume on multiple clips at the same time in FCP?

    Highlight all the clips you want to adjust, then press Apple "+" or Apple "-" to raise and lower the levels in increments of 1, and Apple "[" and Apple "]" to raise and lower the levels in increments of 3.
    One of my favorite keyboard commands.

  • How can I make all 40 audio clips the same volume?

    Hello, all!
    I'm finishing up a General Orientation video for new employees in Yellowstone National Park and am-this-close to being finished!
    I'm creating the video in Premier Elements 9 with some video footage and some still photos blended together.  (Yes, I tried to "Ken Burns" it...  he would laugh out loud if he saw my version!)
    I've narrated most of it in individual WAV. clips that I've inserted into the audio timeline under each video segment.
    I have about 40 audio clips, and even though I used a decent microphone, I still find that each clip has a slightly different volume that is really noticeable when the video DVD plays on TV.  I'm realizing that I should have made an effort to keep a standard distance from the mic when recording.   Hindsight is 20-20.
    I have been trying to change the volume on each clip to make them all the same volume, and it's making me a little crazy.
    Is there any way for me to capture all the audio at one time and make an adjustment that would make all of them the same volume?    I tried CTL-A and then did "normalize" on it, but it seemed to make very little/or no difference when viewing.
    Any advice would be really appreciated!
    Signed, the lone creative video girl in Yellowstone.  

    You are most welcome, and it has been a great day. Thanks!
    Good luck, and pay close attention to the differences between Clip Keyframes and Track Keyframes. They accomplish the same result, but have differences.
    Good luck,

  • How to adjust volume on Audio Timelines

    A couple questions about volume adjustment on the various Audio Timelines on Premiere Pro CS 5.
    1) How to adjust volume level of an mp3 on the Audio 2 timeline?
    2) How to adjust or mute volume of an 'individual' video clip on the Video 1 and Audio 1 timeline? (I have many clips on the timeline and know how to mute them all, but in this case, I'm looking to only mute certain clips in the timeline.)

    Along with the material covered in the Help File, that Ann linked to, see this ARTICLE. It goes into a little more detail on the differences between Clip Keyframes and Track Keyframes (generated with Audio Mixer). While the effect of those can be the same, there are nuances, that one should make note of.
    Good luck,

  • Imovie 9 Can't change volume in voiceover clips.

    I can't change the volume in voiceover clips.  I have tried to re-record with new microphone, including internal.  Also, have re-recorded with noise reduction changed at different levels and uncheck voice enhancement.  Nothing works.  Please help!

    Have you tried selecting the Voiceover clip so the yellow border is around it. Then hit the small gear icon at the front of the voiceover to open the inspector. Go to the audio tab of the inspector, and move the volume slider.
    If that does not work, check to see if you have ducking applied to some other clip.

  • MSI G70, can't adjust volume in game using keyboard shortcuts

    Hello! Brand new MSI laptop, so awesome. However, I am unable to adjust the volume in-game using the keyboard shortcut FN+left arrow or FN+right arrow. It works fine outside of the game. I can also adjust the brightness in the game using FN+up arrow or FN+down arrow.
    The games I've tried this in so far are Skyrim and Team Fortress 2. Any suggestions?

    The game just preempts the audio control from OS and make function keys ineffective. You'll need to ask the game designer.
    I don't think that can be right. I didn't have any problem adjusting the volume in these same games with my last laptop using the keyboard shortcuts.

  • Adjusting volume within a clip

    I think I have read on the discussion board that iMovie '08 doesn't have this feature, but I want to be sure: Is it possible to adjust part of the volume of a clip within that clip?
    For example, I have a cute clip of my grandchildren, but right in the middle of it, someone in the background is cussing for about two seconds. Splitting the clip to remove that part of the audio ruins the video part.
    This may sound like a broken record, but in iMovie '06 I could adjust the volume by clicking on View Volume Tracks. Not possible in iMovie '08?

    Dear Appleman 1958: One more question. In iMovie '06 there were some cool Video FX features. My little granddaughters particularly liked the fairy dust that could be strewn across video of them. Have those features been taken out of iMovie '08?

  • Can 2 or 3 QT audio clips play sequentially on the same Keynote page?

    In Keynote, can I embed 2 or 3 (4?) QuickTime audio clips into one individual Keynote page/slide and have each clip play in its proper sequence?
    The background:
    I am making (for a friend) a Keynote presentation (on taxes) which will be exported in QuickTime to Youtube. Instead of making ONE audio clip per page/slide, I am making 2 or 3 separate clips in order to cut down the time involved in redoing the whole voice-over when my friend makes a mistake. He is not a professional speaker and gets stuck sometimes. When he has gone a certain length of time and has done well and comes to a logical break in thought, I just stop the recording. That way if he makes a mistake in the next recording, he doesn't have to start from the beginning again.
    This morning I woke up thinking about it and realized that if all goes the way it would unless I do something extra, all two or three or four audio clips that I embed on a page will all begin playing at the same time! So I figure to avoid that, I can “program” each clip to start after a certain number of seconds.
    Please advise. This tax presentation means a lot to my friend and it is important.
    Thank you,

    If each of the audio clips is a separate audio file (track) then each can be played as Build-in (Start Audio) either on a Click or Automatically. Thus, each can be "synchronized" with its associated graphic image by having the audio and graphic Builds occur simultaneously.
    Remember: If you are scheduling an Automatic Build, the actual Duration you specify in the Build menu depends the processor speed of the playback computer, so if the timing is critical, you need to confirm this on the playback machine.
    Good luck.

  • How can I tell if an audio clip is .m4a or .aiff?

    I have some audio clips in a song that I dragged/dropped a few weeks ago and I cannot remember if they were rendered as m4a or aiff. I tried clicking on the clip itself but I see no option for "get info" or anything like that. I also tried using the finder which does tell you, but unfortunately I used the same title about ten other times so that won't work in this case.

    Did you try my suggestion?
    WH
    Yes, and it presents the same dilemma as the finder option since I have multiple files with the exact same title. Example: My song has an audio clip titled "Leah" because that is the name of the girl I recorded on that track. Unfortunately I used that title six different times. So if I use Finder or your suggestion, I type in "Leah", and it gives me all 5 files, all the exact same music and duration and I have no idea which one is the one being used in my song.The only way to know for sure is to do this from within GB, and I cannot believe there isn't an option for this. Thanks for offering to help though.

  • Is there a way to adjust volume across multiple clips or entire movie?

    I am editing a lot of movies flying in ultralights. I want to keep the noise of the engine in the background, but I would like to lower the volume across the entire video. When there are 30+ clips it's very tedious to do one at a time when what I would like to do is apply the fix to the whole video. Is there a way?

    Open tools and go to Audio Mixer.

  • How can I trim the main audio clip for slideshow

    I have created a slideshow with photos and video.  I want to add music, but would like to trim the main audio.   If aperture doesn't have this feature, can I export my slide show to iMovie.  What can I do?

    Aperture allows for trimming the audio of any clip that you drop as background music onto the film strip. The clip appears as a green bar, and  you can drag it to the place where you want the music to begin, also you can shorten/trim it by dragging the handles at the ends of the  audio region.
    For example:
    If that does not suffice, you can use iTunes to trim the music. For any song in iTunes you can set the start and end time in the "options" pane of the Information panel. Then create a new, shorter version of the song, using  the menu
    Advanced -> create ... version.

  • Yosemite 10.10.1 can't adjust volume

    I just bought a new 15 inch retina display macbook pro a couple days ago, it came with yoemite installed, it was 10.10. I did a software update and now its 10.10.1 the problem is when I try to adjust the volume the following icons appear, sound source are the internal speakers and i don't have any earphones/external speakers connected. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Popping coming from speakers, can't adjust volume!

    This started happening today.
    Clicking and barely audible popping noises coming from my Macbooks speakers.
    I can't raise or lower the volume now either...

    If there is a red light coming from the headphone jack, it means the digital audio out is stuck on. A temporary fix is to insert and remove headphones several times to try to untrip it. Unfortunately, this might need a hardware repair to replace the logic board (as the headphone jack is part of the board).

  • Nokia 6110 Navigator - Can't adjust volume on anyt...

    The other day I set the volume button on the side of the phone to max so I could hear a voice recording better.
    Now, the phone volume is fixed on max for all applications: music, ring tone, mms & sms tones etc. I've tried to adjust all of these back to normal levels through Profiles, Phone Settings and even [in desperation] the volume button again - but nothing works.
    The only way to stop the ear blast is to use mute, but that obviously defeats the purpose!!!!!
    Can anyone help?-

    I coudln't adjust the volume using the keyboard, the volume control at the top of the desktop or in the system prefs. I would move the slider or press the buttons, but the volume wouldn't change up or down.
    Resetting the PRAM seemed to have fixed the problem.
    Thanks!

  • Why can't I delete this audio clip or unlink it?

    Please see uploaded screenshot.  The soundtrack here is a continuous clip of music but I have snipped it to coincided exactly with the video clip above, and I've also snipped the Audio 1 clip at the same place.  There's nothing above, ie all other tracks at this point are empty.  What I don't understand is why there's no rt-click at this point either for unlinking the audio/video on Tracks 1 (audio/video), nor for the Soundtrack beneath.  (In other places I've been able to unlink audio/video and indeed delete either audio or video from particular clips.)  What's different about this one?   I realise I may not have given enough info to provide an answer here.
    Apologies for my clumsy arrows -- they are meant to show how the different rt-click menus relate to the video and audio part of track 1 -- ie nowhere does the unlink or delete option appear on this occasion.   The snip goes through the video / audio tradk and the Soundtrack at the same point, fore and aft.
    Any help received gratefully!  Thanks

    Did you find the Delete Audio and Delete Video commands?
    If yes, please disregard.
    If no, right click the file on the Expert workspace Timeline (video and audio not have to be unlinked beforehand), and then, from the pop up menu, select either Delete Audio or Delete Video.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Thanks.
