Slideshow audio volume adjustment

Help! I can't seem to adjust the audio volume of the audio file on a slideshow project. The audio volume on playback is always the same whether I slide the volume adjustment to the maximum or down to zero. On playback the audio volume is always the same. I need to lower this volume because it drowns out the narration part of the slideshow. How do you do this??
Thank You!

I have come across this problem but I’m not sure I have a solution, perhaps only a work-around.
I have managed to save a slideshow from PSE as a WMV file on my hard drive.
Opening the WMV file with Windows Movie Maker (sorry if you are on a MAC) does allow the volume of the background track to be adjusted whilst also having a primary (Commentary) audio track.

Main menu audio volume adjustment issue

Under the Disc Menus tab, using the Ladybug menu template that comes with Premiere Pro Elements 9 and chose an audio clip to use as intro music. I need to adjust that tracks volume to better match the core video/audio levels. Ideas? The audio mixer does not show that track.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
I think that Audacity, or similar, is the easiest way to handle this.
As I am usually doing DD 5.1 SS, for my Projects and for my Menus, I just create a Menu Sequence in PrPro, and edit my Audio (or perhaps Video too, if I have a Motion Background on the Menu), but as PrE does not have Sequences, one would have to create a New Project, to do that. Yes, Audacity would be much easier.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - even the full-featured Adobe authoring app., Encore, needs to have the Audio's Volume adjusted outside of the authoring program.

Adjusting audio volume for all slides?

I can easily do this for one slide, but when I Shift-click to
select all slides, then apply Captivate's Audio / Edit Timing menu
option, the dialog shows me an Adjust Volume option that adjusts
the volume for all slides in the movie. But, when I adjust the
volume and press OK to exit the dialog, the new volume setting is
not saved with my movie. Is this a bug? Anyone?

Hi boonedogr and welcome to our community
In the words of Yoda: Hmmm, seems a bug we have found!
So here is how to make it stick.
1. Click Audio > Edit timing... and you should see the
"Edit Audio Timing" dialog.
2. Click the Insert Silence toolbar button. This should
produce the "Insert Silence" dialog.
3. Change the "Insert" field so it reflects 0.001seconds of
silence.
This step is necessary to trick Captivate into accepting the
audio has indeed changed. I use 0.001 seconds as it is the minimum
you can insert and it should have absolutely no discernable effect
on your movie.
4. Now click the Adjust Volume button to see the "Adjust
Volume" dialog where you can alter the volume level as well as
boost dynamics and whatnot.
5. Make adjustments as desired.
6. Click OK to dismiss the Adjust Volume dialog.
7. Click OK to dismiss the Edit Audio Timing dialog
At this point, you should notice several progress indicators
as the audio clips for all slides with audio are adjusted to
reflect your new settings.
*NOTE: This will have no effect on Background Audio or Object
Level Audio. Those clips will need to be adjusted manually as a
separate process.
Hope this helps a bit... Rick

When adjusting the audio volume in a selected region, why does it give me a curved line instead of straight and why cant I change it like i can with a fade in our out?

When adjusting the audio volume in a selected region, why does it give me a curved line as a transition instead of straight, and why cant I change the fade shape like i can with a fade in our out? When I slide thet volume all the way down it makes a very abrupt down curve. It's audibly noticdible.
Thank you.

Use the range selection tool and select the portion of the clip you want to change the volume on. Drag the volume line down and FCP will create keyframes which you can adjust as you want to get a fade shape.

Flash player crashes when adjusting audio volume

MacBook Pro, OS X Version 10.9.5
Safari internet browser, version 7.1
I am taking online classes via megameeting.com. When loading the classroom, flash works perfectly fine. However, as soon as I adjust the computer's audio volume (either by pressing the keyboard button or manually clicking and dragging the volume adjustment slider bar on my desktop), I immediately get a white screen with a gray "plugin failure" message.
I can run the same classroom simultaneously on the same computer utilizing google chrome, and flash does not crash on the chrome browser when I adjust the volume.
I followed the directions to perform a clean uninstall and reinstall (running Flash version 15), and I still have the same problem. My settings are set to allow internet plugins. So far, I have not detected this problem where adjusting the audio volume crashes flash on other websites. Any help?

Hi Gboyaj,
I've reported this bug 2 weeks back but it seems adobe doen't takes it seriously. Because no response bij adobe yet.
So please vote for this bug!

No audio AND no volume adjustment available. Why?

No audio AND no volume adjustment available. Why?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Slideshow Audio with video?

I'm in the slideshow mode (sliding panels) and I've included 3 video clips. These video clips were shot with NO AUDIO. However, Aperture fades out the master background song when the video clips appear. I don't want the song to fade.
The manual instructs me to go the the secondary audio file and adjust the clip, but there is no secondary audio to adjust.
Any help will be appreciated.

You only get the extra volume settings with the Basic or Ken Burns themes. You must be using another theme besides those. I didn't realize this because when I tested it I was using the Basic theme but I just check all the other themes (besides Basic and Ken Burns) and those options are not available.
The easiest workaround I can think of is to not add the audio in Aperture. Export your slideshow and then open the resulting movie with Garage Band and add the audio there. Garage Band is able to export the movie with the added audio tracks without re-compressing the video. It takes a few extra steps but you actually get more control of the audio with Garage Band.

Non-Apple Keyboard: any way to control system audio volume?

I have a non-Apple Keyboard on my new Mini Lion 7.2.1
Is there any way to control system audio volume via the keyboard ?

Well. I can do this. But just because, on my Apple keyboard, there are the keys that do the job. There's a key to mute, and the keys to adjust low and high the sound. But keyboard shortcuts, I don't think exist. The aren't in keyboard shortcut in Keyboard panel, within System Preferences. The bottom line is that isn't a menu item in Finder for lower sound and higher sound. The only option would be an AppleScript that you save as an applet within Scripts menu (activated in Finder via Script Editor) and you invoke with a shortcut... Well, you can do it, if you open the script Set Output Volume in UI Elements Script folder within Scripts folder. Try it out!

Audio volume increases during transitions

The audio volume increases while passing through transitions then decreases when the transition is complete. You can't seem to adjust the volume in the transitions. Anyone know what is causing this or how I can fix it.

@rhinofrank, did you ever find a solution to this problem. i have just encountered it also and am lost for a solution.

Premiere Elements 13 - Help with AUDIO volume

When recording the audio volume is too low. I adjust it in Premiere Elements 13 to the maximum and it is louder but still too low.
When I play with gain I get extra an effect that I do not want.
If there is not a way to do this from Premiere Elements is there an inexpensive plugin that I can get to work? When I search google seems like there are plenty of photoshop plugins but not enough for premiere.

studysession
Thanks for the follow up and good news of progress.
A few ways...
One way...
a. In the Expert workspace, you have a thumbnail for your video with its associated low volume audio in Project Assets
b. You drag the file from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 1/Audio 1 (the volume will be at 0.0 dB)
c. Then you drag the file again from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 2/Audio 2. This time you right click the file there
and select Delete Video from the pop up menu.
d. Then you drag the file again from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 3/Audio 3. This time you right click the file there
and select Delete Video from the pop up menu.
e. You repeat this until the sound has an acceptable volume.
Another way
a. In the Expert workspace, you have a thumbnail for your video with its associated audio in Project Assets.
b. You drag the file from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 1/Audio 1 (with Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume
adjust the volume from 0.0 to + 6.0 dB)
c. Move the Timeline Indicator to the far right...right click the Video 1/Audio 1 clip, select Copy. Do about five Ctrl+V to make
five side by side copies of the file at that remote location of the Timeline Indicator.
d. Then go through the drill of what is described above....all copies directly above one another on tracks above Video 1/Audio 1.
drag a copy to Video 2/Audio 2, and the Delete Video
drag a copy to Video 3/Audio 3, and the Delete Video
drag a copy to Video 4/Audio 4, and the Delete Video
The quality of sound and video were good on your YouTube video. I am still having problems with my Internet connect but got
to watch most of it.
Please let me know if you are OK with the information above. Good job with the audio gain and normalization.

ITunes is automatically determining audio volume on my files

Whenever I open iTunes it begins automatically "determining audio volume" for my podcasts. I don't know why it's doing this. When I click on the x in the window it stops, but if I close iTunes and reopen it, it starts again. How can I make iTunes stop doing this permanently?

I have the same problem with automatically "determining song volume" every time I launch iTunes, and it's with over 40 GB of music, a real pain in the neck. I believe it might have something to do with how you import songs from a cd or how you burned a cd and reimport them. If you burn a cd with the "use soundcheck" option, this might be the culprit, but I don't know how to adjust the whole library to forget soundcheck altogether. I tried selecting all tracks, get info, and setting them all to 0 under options for volume adjustment, but that didn't work. Anyone else have any ideas?

How do I shift clips and audio and adjust audio levels in CS5.5

OK, a couple of things.
I'm trying to shift everything over (this includes videos, some name supers, and unlinked audio) so I can insert some music here and there. I can drag the music on to Audio 2 or something, but I still want to scoot everything else over a couple of seconds. Is there an easier way to do this?
Secondly, I want to adjust the audio levels on the music. SO I want it to start off soft, grow louder, then back down until you don't even notice it. How would I do this? Thanks.

For the Nudging of multiple Assets, have you tried Selecting them all, and then using the Cursor Keys (arrows) to Nudge, one Frame at a time?
For the ramping up/down of the Audio Volumes, there are several ways to do that. Keyframing the Fixed Effect>Volume (in the Effects Control Panel) will allow one to adjust the Volume up/down over time. If you have never done Keyframing, then I would start with the Help File, as there are a lot of things to learn. Once, however, you have concepts and mechanics down, Keyframes are easy, and so very powerful. This article discusses several ways to adjust Volume/Gain, and might be useful: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3472343#3472343

Audio volume in menu

I am new to DVD Studio but have worked in iDVD for quite a while. I have tried to find any control for audio volume in the Main menu of a DVD Studio project and cannot find anything. iDVD has that control for the audio portion of the main menu. How can I adjust the volume within DVD Studio?

Nope, you will need to adjust volume outside of DVD SP.
