Matching the Volume Levels of Multiple Video Clips

I have a folder with about 30 different video files that I downloaded, and because they came from different sources the volume will vary. The problem I run into is this, suppose I load all the files into a playlist (VLC) and choose shuffle. If I finish a video with softer volume and then go to a clip that is much louder, well, I basically have to grab my remote to adjust the volume before I wake the neighbors.
Is there a way in iMove that I could match the volume of all these video files so they are all the same? Is this called Normalization?
I appreciate any help in advance!

Thanks! I have found a guide that shows how to normalize volume across multiple clips: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie08_GettingStarted.pdf

How can I match the colors of two different video clips?

I have two video clips. One is in black and white and the other in color. Is there a way that I can match the volor clip to the black and white one?

Hi Steve
I downloaded a video that is in black and white (pitbull's feel the moment). I want to superimpose videos and pictures so that it looks like my clips were the ones used originally. i was messing around with the hue (from my videos) and managed to get it similar. But is there a way to automatically match the tones and hues of one video so that it can be used on the other?
thx

Can I have multiple volume levels along one audio clip? PE12

For instance I want there to be a single score of music over the video soundtrack. But I want the music score to lower in volume when important things are being said in the soundtrack. Any way I can raise and lower the volume at different points in the music score?

Thanks for the update and the good news of progress.
The Audio Mix is an automatic route for placing those volume keyframes...basically, as the Timeline content plays in the Edit area monitor with the Audio Mix dialog open, you adjust the Audio Mix's volume sliders for the numbered audio track, narration track, or soundtrack involved.
The Smart Mix basically can adjust the volume in the narration or soundtrack against the dialog in a numbered audio track depending on how you designated track, Foreground or Background.
The volume keyframes that are set by these means can be seen as white dots on the audio clip rubberband and can be adjusted there also.
These volume keyframes can also be adjusted in the Show/Hide Keyframe Controls area in the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume panel expanded area.
You can also do volume keyframing at the Timeline level. See audio clip rubberband which is the orange line that runs horizontally across the audio clip.
If you do not see the "white dotes" volume keyframes...
a. Make sure the clip is set for Volume:Clip Volume and then right click the audio clip, select "Show Clip Keyfrasmes", and follow the path to Volume:Clip Volume.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

Cannot select multiple video clips at a time

With the previous version, I could simply select all and import all my videos and pictures at once, in the order I copied them to my hard drive. Now, I have to "select entire clip" then, press letter E on every video clip, then, go back and add pictures. This is a huge downgrade from the previous version of IMovie.

hello ,thanks for jour mail ,but my English is very very bad sorry but

Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

Replace audio in multiple video clips at one time

Hello. I am new to the forum so I apologize if I break any of the rules!
I have a collection of tutorial videos, all edited but the audio had some balance issues. The files were not in Premiere Pro at the time. They are the final edited videos but then I was told the audio needed to be adjusted.
I have re-balanced the audio, saved the audio as wav files and now I need to replace the old audio (in the finished video file) with the new audio (the wav files I edited and saved). The timing is all the same. It's just a matter of replacing the current file.
Is this doable as a batch process? Is it doable in Premiere Pro or do I need to use Audition or some other Adobe software?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you in advance!

Multiple Video Clips

Does DVDSP4 support multiple video clips in a track? It allowed me to add a video clip after the first one but the second clip is black when I play it. This is for a dance recital where i want each section title screen to be separate from the video.

Hi:
Most probably you find the black playback (but audio is playing fine) in Simulator, right? Try pausing and starting again during Simulator.
It's a kind of bug in Simulator. If you make a trial build you'll find everything is OK.
Hope that helps !

How can you change the volume level????

Hi all:
I don't know if this is possible but sometimes I want to reduce or increase the volume level of several clips (10 or 20) by the same amount while they are linne up in the timeline, they are individual clips arranged back to back during the edit. I want to either up the volume by 10db or down 10db from baseline 0db.
Do I have to do it induvidually or is ther a way to select them and apply the change to all of them at one time.????
Your input is appreciated
Thanks,
AppleLou

And to go a step further, put them all into a Compound Clip, and you can apply a single filter to them all at once, plus keyframe your audio over time to them all at once.

How do I stretch (or compress) the viewing time of a video clip in Elements 12?

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? For now, assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Typically, if you increase the length of a video clip, you will create slow motion. If you decrease the length of a video clip, you will create fast motion effect.
You can right click the clip on the Timeline, select Time Stretch, and use the Time Stretch dialog's settings to change the video duration.
See the Adobe document/section on Set Duration of Clip

Why is the volume level different from song to song in iTunes & on iPod?

When I play back songs in iTunes and most of all on my iPod the volume level is different depending what songs I am listing to. The biggest problem is with the songs that I get from my CD’s because the volume is very low. Why does this happen and can I fix it? Thanks, Robert

iTunes uses a feature called "SoundCheck" to attempt to equalize playback volume. There are actually 3 Sound Checks: 1 is for iTunes playback (set in Preferences), 1 is for iTunes burning (set on the Burn Disc dialog), and 1 is for iPod playback (in iPod Settings).
Make sure they are all enabled.
They are far from perfect, but they should help.

Automatic adjusting of the volum level

Does anybody know in witch way/how the player does the automatic adjusting of the volum level? How does the automatic adjusting of the volum level work? Is it just the decibel that is "normalising"? How does the player measure it? Are the frequenses exactly the same in a song/tune after the automatic adjusting?
Is there anything else in the sound that is influenced in any way?

Again, camickr is great, and, clever.
Here's the working code basing on his suggestion.
It is my first time for calling prepareRenderer() from within application code.
I have had overridden it many times in the past, though.
    width = 0;
    cc = table.getColumnCount();
    rc = table.getRowCount();
    for (int c = 0; c < cc; ++c){
      maxcw = 0;
      for (int r = 0; r < rc; ++r){
        Component compo
         = table.prepareRenderer(table.getCellRenderer(r, c), r, c);
        int w = compo.getPreferredSize().width;
        if (w > maxcw){
          maxcw = w;
      maxcw += 7; // somehow, this handcraft is necessary
      table.getColumn(table.getColumnName(c)).setPreferredWidth(maxcw);
      width += maxcw;
    height = (table.getRowCount() + 1) * table.getRowHeight(); // +1 == header
    js.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
    // js is a JScrollPane enclosing the table

Use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips?

Dear Premiere Pro programmers,
Could you please create a way to use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips without exporting to media, or creating new sequence, or using another layer (adjustment or transparent)?

Hi Aqsa Nori,
I'm not sure what you are imagining, but it might be possible to achieve by key framing effects. Can you tell us what you want to do? Also, please feel free to file a feature request: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

Can i change the volume level for just a part of a track?

i am trying to raise the volume level for just a little section of a track without raising the volume for the whole track, just a one little section. can i do that on garage band? how would it do that?

Yes you can
On the track instrument selector, there is a row of small buttons, one being an upside down triangle. Click the triangle to display Automation. The default controller is Track Volume. You will see a bright green line which is the volume level throughout the track..
Simply, go to the location where you want to reduce the volume, click on the green line to insert a control point. The first click is used the maintain the current volume. Go to the point where you want the volume to be reduce to, and click-and-hold the line and drag the new control point to the target volume.
NOTE: Use the Shift key to adjust incremental amounts.
Have fun!!

Getting the volume level of a Microphone

Hi Everyone,
I've looked around and I haven't been able to figure this one out. Basically I need to get the volume level from the microphone as it is recording. For whatever reason, when I try and get the volume control from the TargetDataLine, it throws an exception. Is there a way to get around this or does this feature just plain not exist?
Thanks,
Robbie

hi metaldrummer610, i have the same problem and look for a solution since a long time.
i only can manipulate the gain of my players like:
public void setGain(double value) {
          try {
               FloatControl gainControl =
                    (FloatControl) auline.getControl(FloatControl.Type.MASTER_GAIN);
               float dB = (float)
               (Math.log(value==0.0?0.0001:value)/Math.log(10.0)*20.0);
               gainControl.setValue(dB);
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
but in connection with my recorder it didn't work. i scanned many forums and try a lot, but i always get the exception like Unsupported control type: Mute , Volume etc.
     at com.sun.media.sound.AbstractLine.getControl(Unknown Source)
     at iax.audio.gsm.GSMRecorder.run(GSMRecorder.java:81)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
have you find another idea? i decide to try it with jni, maybe i can find an api to control it via c, c++...
regards, Karen
