  • Shortcut for volume adjustment in selected area?

    Posted by Mohsen Amini on December 10, 2019 at 8:36 am

    Hello guys. hope you are all well. I work for a company and we produce video tutorials. the teachers will record their videos of specific software and we should edit them only with vegas pro and volume down the unwanted noises. so usually I am checking the video and find those spots. I need to select a specific area and use some kind of shortcut to decrease the volume of the selected area immediately. as you can see in the photo. I need something easier for this. so I would not need to handle it manually for each of these since we have lots of these spots. I guess I should ask a programmer to make a script for that?

    Thanks

    Hi Mohsen! If you reduce the ambient you’ll have an unnatural GAP in the narrative. Is that what you want?

    Can you post a SMALL segment of the offending audio?

    Thanks, dear Graham. I understand what you are saying. well, I was not clear enough. I just want to volume down the unwanted noise which has no important part in the video. such as when the tutor breath into the mic. so exceptionally not important parts that need to be taken down entirely. and also finding these extra noises are manually and do not need to be automatically. I only need a special shortcut to volume down faster…
    well, the unnatural gap in narrative is ok. but not the breathing in mic…
    I guess everything is clear now and no need for a video, right?

    [Mohsen Amini] “I guess everything is clear now and no need for a video, right?”

    I asked to determine just how much and under what circumstances you felt you had arrived at what you wanted – Hm…

    OK, I wouldn’t want the Video, just the AUDIO. I have not heard of a Ducking-Under for one Track? IMO better than Scripts, which would be a real-time Attenuator for the dropping of unwanted noise. I’d use my iZotope RX to do this in REAL-Time Correction. I wouldn’t need to spend ALL the time interrogating and looking for “gaps”. I would also allow the parameters of RX to Attenuate as I wished. Again, post just the Audio and I’ll post back what I could do.

    Up to you. Many ways to skin this particular cat. Please don’t get focussed on just Scripts.

    Actually, you Could TRY THIS:

    1] Add an Audio Envelop.

    2] PLAY the Track

    3] Using the Audio Automation WRITE and LATCH adjust AUDIO Level on the Fly – that would work.

    Tip: Play the Track at say Half-Speed so you can keep up!
