  • Audio level increases in MP4 but fine in Premiere

    Posted by Dennis Dean on April 6, 2023 at 6:40 pm

    So I’m outputting a 4 minute piece and about 3:43 into the piece the music bed level begins to climb to an unacceptable level, almost overpowering the narration. It’s fine in Premiere Pro but not in the exported MPEG4 video. The original music bed is an mp3 file, which was provided to me. I stripped out empty tracks and have tried different varieties of mp4 outputs. My next step will be to convert the mp3 music bed to a wav file and see if it behaves better. But hoping someone recognizes the issue and has a better solution. Thoughts? This is PP 2022, v 22.6.4 on an iMac. Thanks!

    Thats very strange indeed, its if sounding just fine in Premiere Pro, may I ask in which format you render the video in? Normally when the music levels arises, its cause maybe there is something with the sound waves level after the 3:43 mark that you may not have noticed went up via sound keyframes within the sound waves clip you may have edited.

    My tip is perhaps try removing the clip that is causing the huge climb in volume and try putting that same sound clip again to see if it does not cause it after editing. Hope to hear from you again soon.

    Thanks, Hector –

    I did something similar. Copied the sequence then output the mixed audio as a single AIFF file and brought it back into the timeline of the new sequence replacing all of the edited audio. Output my usual mpeg4 and everything was fine. As I mentioned earlier I think the culprit was the mp3 music bed the client supplied. I almost always use WAV files and that disappeared in the mix over to AIFF. If I have time I’ll try something else. But thanks for getting back to me!
