Project Volume levels in iMovie 10.0.2

The old imovie 9 provided a 'volume levels' indicator that I found very useful for ensuring a constant volume level throughout any project.
i.e.
Is there an equivalent facility somewhere in the latest imovie version please?

No, not as it did in iMovie 9.
You can view the wavefroms though, they will change colour from blue->yellow->red depending on the volume.
The "automatic" adjust will analyse all clips and adjust them; not only volume but also background noise sound improvement etc. You can manually override these adjustments and you also can change your volume and other sound-settings per individual clip.

  • Adjusting Volume - Like in iMovie HD

    Hello,
    Is there a way to adjust the volume of various tracks in Garage Band 09 like how it was possible to adjust the clip volume levels in iMovie HD, by adjusting the line up and down to change the volume at different points in the clip? Thanks a lot for your help!

    Yes, there's volume curves. Click on the triangle in the track header to make the curve visible. If you have any problems, search the Help section for "curve".

  • Can I have multiple volume levels in one track?

    I have a track composed of audio from a cassette recorder of a now deceased relative's voice.
    Since the cassette was turned on and off during recording, the recordings are at different volumes.
    I have been able to import the cassette into a GarageBand project, and delete dead space, but now I find that the volume is not consistent.
    Any way to remedy that? I am wondering if I need to chop it up and make more than one track, and adjust the volume on each track? Will this work as long as the tracks don't overlap?
    And then do I send the finished product to iTunes in order to be able to use it in an iMovie?
    Or can I drag it right from GarageBand to iMovie?
    Many thanks, I'm a very new GarageBand user.

  • Normalising Sound Levels in iMovie

    Hello,
    I have an iMovie project which is a video/audio interview between two people. Unfortunately the interviewer's mic is far quieter than the interviewee's. Is there a way that I can normalise the sound levels within iMovie so that the volume is consistent?
    Thanks!
    Tom Ewer

    The only way to do that is, if you have iMovie 11, view the audio levels under the video clips and manually change it each time the people switch talking.

  • Volume level adjustment

    Well, it's looking pretty good, except for volume levels. The levels were terrific in imovie, but once burned, they are too soft. The menu theme, however, plays nice and loud (this is an imported wav file.)
    I can, of course, lower the menu theme volume, but that sounds perfect. It's the imovie files which need to be bumped up, and they are already maxed out in imovie.
    Question: Does the slider for volume level in idvd menus have any impact on what plays in the content portion of the menu? Does setting the menu level volume at its midpoint affect imovie sound? If I maxed out that slider, would it bump up the content?
    Thanks for your help!

    Here's how to adjust the audio in iDVD's menu/s:
    Click Here
    Question: Does the slider for volume level in idvd menus have any impact on what plays in the content portion of the menu?
    Answer: No it does not. Only the movie content slider can do this. (ref. yellow hilighted area on menu/play movie and it's appropriate QT content slider which has no effect on volume per se).
    Q:Does setting the menu level volume at its midpoint affect imovie sound?
    A: No. It will not effect the movie portion of the DVD but only the volume on the menu (as shown above).
    Q: If I maxed out that slider, would it bump up the content?
    A: No.... assuming you mean the slider that the above black arrow is pointing to. In order to bump up/adjust QT content simply adjust the slider directly above the yellow hilighted movie shown above.
    Question for you .... Was all of the video footage used in your iDVD project originally shot in 16 bit or 12 bit audio? (You will get best results when you stay with 16 bit audio only).
    Click Here
    Always set your camera's audio to 16 bit if you plan to use i-apps.
    Hope this is Helpful.

  • Adjusting audio levels in iMovie 10.0.7

    Trying to moderate the clipping in one of my videos. Choosing "loudness" moderates the volume level but does not entirely remove the clipping. In older versions of iMovie, one could grab the blue line and adjust it in 1 or 2% increments. In my version it's 25 or 34 or 40 or 85 or 100 or 112 and nothing else. Am I just seeing Apple glitch or am I doing something wrong?
    In the same vein how do I get to a prevision trimmed for audio?

    i david:
    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.

  • Export All Tracks as Audio Files ? about volume levels.

    1. Do you export with each track at the volume level in the mix?
    2. Or do you set the CS volume faders at 0.0 to get the maximum signal?
    The first option allows me to recreate a mix with the volume levels already set.
    But the second option gives me audio files at original record levels so that I can create a different sounding mix, or use audio regions in another project, setting levels as needed.
    What's the better approach???

    CSeye wrote:
    I just started exploring Export Tracks to Audio and had the misconception that whatever fader & pan positions were set in the mixer would be rendered in the export. Good to know that Bounce is the way to go if that's needed.
    Just be sure to UN check the 'include volume and pan info' esp if someone else is gonna mix for you
    On the other hand for archiving purposes including fx and pan and vol is a failsafe way of doing things
    My question is really about two situations: The most important one is archiving/future proofing a project, and the other is how best to share a mix with a collaborator.
    Good information.

    Just make sure

  • Volume level when exporting

    Hi guys,
    I have a question about the volume level when exporting a project to .mp3.
    I seems that the volume level when exported is a lot lower then the volume level on the rest of my music i iTunes. When trying to enhance the volume level with 3rd party software the sound quality becomes rubish. I tried everything that I could think of but nothing seems to work.
    Is there anyway to adjust the volume level when exporting to take care of this problem?

  • Control Initial Volume Level?

    How can I control the audio volume level during the first few seconds before the theme menu is displayed? I found that I can adjust the audio volume during the display of the menu itself, but the lead-in volume is much louder and I haven't found any way to adjust it. If it matters, I'm using the "Marquee" theme. Thanks for any suggestions.

    WIth additional searching I found another post on this topic from some months ago. I tried increasing the iMovie audio level. I'm burning another DVD now to see if that helps.

  • Unable to open project from flashdrive in iMovie

    I worked on a project at a friend's house on her iMac, put it on my flashdrive, and tried to load it on my iMac at home (in a newly created computer account). When I open the iMovie file, iMovie opens but does not show my project, only shows "My First Project". I tried putting it on the desktop first (so as not to load it straight from the flashdrive), but that didn't work either. What can I do to get my project to open in iMovie?

    Hi
    There are so many things to this.
    A. Flash drive - I even don't know if they would ever work - very doubtful
    B. External hard disks - MUST be Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted -
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO no matter if iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut is used.
    C. In the folder iMovie Projects - There are NO MOVIES - but text-documents related to the projects and this document points to the Raw material in iMovie Events folder and how it is supposed to be Played/Viewed in this particular project. e.g. play Clip A from 00:00:01:13 to 00:03:45:02 and so on. So there are no movies in the project folder.
    D. So if both iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folder are copied over to an external hard disk - Then the iMovie in the second Mac has no links to this and will not find it.
    SO to be able to work with one project on two Macs - all moving's of Events and Projects should be done within the iMovie Application - Not on DeskTop/Finder - do not alter or move any folder named
    • iMovie Events
    • iMovie Projects
    on DeskTop/Finder - as they can mess-up and be very hard to impossible to mend.

  • How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

    The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod.  Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

    I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos.  iVolume is available on the Mac  App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

  • Using compressor DVD Studio Pro 4 will only accept ac3 format in the burn process. ac3 makes a nnsense of the good sound delivered, 30% reduction in volume, auto volume levelling giving unwanted volume variations. Used to be able to burn using AIFF/WAVE,

    AS Above. Edited in FCPX. Excellent sound file. Using Compressor 4 to DVD Studio 4. Wanting AIFF or WAVE sound for acurate sound.
    Previously DVD Studio 4 has accepted AIFF etc and delivered sound as reuired. Now, during the burn process everything other than ac3 is declined as 'video bit rate too high', but will burn if the AIFF format is replaced with ac3 (which I presume meanss the 'video bit rate too high' is referring to the sound file)
    The issue with ac3 format is the huge reduction in original volume and worse, the 'auto volume levelling' that makes a nonsense of the original soundtrack - with simply aweful unwanted variations in volume Throughout the  the dvd.
    I have tried everything I can think of to get around this. The 'volume gain' in compressor doesn't make any difference. Exporting just AIFF and the Video to DVD 4 doesn't make any difference, it always declines anything but the aweful sound ac3 delivers.
    I have customers awaiting a musci DVD, not with thei quality I can't.
    Cheers
    Phil

    The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
    I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3.  I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

  • !! Projects VANISHED. Complete iMovie failure. Genius Bar at a loss. HELP!!

    I bought a brand new iMac 2.4 Ghz two weeks ago, SPECIFICALLY so I could "upgrade" to imovie 08 and cut movies of my son. iMovie worked FLAWLESSLY for the first 10 days, no problems whatsoever. I created several projects, using video clips from my iPhoto (these thumbnails all loaded seemlessly from the start. I use a Canon Powershot SD900 and the video clips are amazing in resolution, 5 times better than any camcorder video, hence I was ONLY working from iPhoto video clips from my digital still camera (I have a lot of them - 45 Gs in my iPhoto). Anyway, opened iMovie an hour after working in it previously, and 'POOF' nearly all of my projects were gone. In addition, everything was completely grayed out, clips wouldn't load, iMovie frozen. Called Apple care and tried clearing my chache, etc. No luck. Took it to the Benius Bar and (long story short, after 2 days in genius bar) they transfered all my user files onto ANOTHER brand new iMAC and now I have two (out of 9) projects 'recovered' but iMovie freezes and acts like its on drugs. Can't edit. Can't open a new project. Total Movie failure. Useless. The Genius bar is at a loss. Says the total iMovie failure may be because I have a single piece of data (a video clip, a photo, even a song) that is corrupted. What the @#$%? Somebody PLEASE help!

    Sorry to learn that you have not been able to find a solution.
    I knew which clip was corrupted because it was the only one that would not permit any editing. Fortunately, it was that easy.
    If you had just one iMovie that you were working on, and you could open new projects, you could copy/paste half of the movie to a new project and see which half plays well. Then with the problem half, copy/paste another half to a new project and see if you can keep repeating the process until you isolate the corrupted clip. It is tedious, but works. However, you said you could not even open a new project in iMovie, so I don't think this solution will be helpful in your situation.
    You will probably need a radical approach and will just have to start over. It will be a lot of work to redo several projects, but well worth the time if it works. Look at how much time you have spent trying to recover/fix/figure out what is going on. Plus, you have all your video clips, and the second construction usually goes faster because you remember how you had it the first time.
    So, unless the Genius bar guys have a better solution, I would trash all your Movie projects and files, reinstall iMovie, and start over with the creation of your iMovies. Be sure to repair permissions before and after reinstallation. You should then have a pristine iMovie app, so you should be able to open it without problems.
    If all is ok so far, reimport the video clips, but do just one at a time. That way, you will see which, if any, one of them is a problem clip. You may never find out exactly what went wrong, and if you don't completely start over, you may run into this problem again and again.
