    hey there

    l recorded a video of a wedding with a very low volume set. (my fault) almost nothing can be heard. You can hear a little but the volume has to be set all the way up. l need to add other soundtracks to the video. l imagine will be a jump in and out of sound because of it.

    Is there a way to improve the sound form the original footage??

    thank you

    Right-click the audio event and select Switches | Normalize. That should bring up the volume considerably if it’s very low.

    Also, check out the free program “Levelator”.

    You could also boost the sound using the graphic equaliser plug-in by up to 20db… . I recently had to do this when my sound feed from the sound desk was just a hiss and I had to rely on camera mic audio only.

    I assume you are using SVP9:

    Right click the event audio wave form you are trying to improve.
    Select Apply non-real time event FX
    Choose Audio > Sony > ExpressFX Graphic EQ or Graphic EQ

    Have a play around, noting that there is also an output gain slider. Experiment.

    If you are using SVP10, this is available in real-time.

    You can do it at track level as well, but it affects the whole track. In my case, I only needed it for certain video events.
