CS5 Export volume drop?
After carefully adjusting volume levels I export from CS5 with “match sequence settings” no problem — until I listen to the audio of the exported mpeg movie with Windows Media Player and notice the volume is lower than in PP CS5
Hmmm…. maybe I am imagining this?
So I import the whole movie as a clip back into the same sequence of the same PP CS5 file that I just exported it from, and
the volume of the audio track of the re-imported movie is exactly the same as the volume of the CS5 sequence prior to export (ie higher than when I listened to the audio of the exported mpeg movie with Windows Media Player !?!?
maybe I am also imagining this?
So I open the exported MPEG movie in Windows Media Player AND also open the same re-imported movie in PP CS5 and sure enough the re-imported movie played back in PP CS5 definitely sounds NORMAL while the EXPORTED MOVIE FILE DEFINITELY SOUNDS LOWER THAN exactly the same movie being played back as a sequence in PP CS5.
Since by now CS5 is stone age technology that is only used by old buzzards like me I assume somebody else must have encountered this and hope to hear from anyone who has.
What I am trying to figure out is do I have a problem that requires some kind of fix like bumping the audio higher up than I want it to be in PP CS5 to get the audio levels in the exported movie, or is everything hunkey dorey and no need to worry about this?

Problem solved. The culprit was of course Windows Media Player. I opened the same movie in VLC media player and everything sounded exactly as it was supposed to sound ie not lower than expected as in playback via WMP.
