Way to automate audio normalization?
I have a lot of clips that I would like to apply a normalization value of -12 to. I can do this for a single clip with Modify/Audio/Apply Normalization Gain, set to -12, and then OK. Is there a way to automate these steps so I don’t have to go through them every time? I tried the Opt V Apply Attributes, but the Audio Filters checkbox doesn’t seem in include normalization. Thanks for any ideas.

Tom,
I think you can select all the clips at once and apply the normalization to them all at once. It is not a filter, so the filters attribute does not apply as you already dicovered.

that’s a yes on “you can do all at once”
and a no on “it’s not a filter”you don’t apply it like a filter,
but when you run the normalise process, (Modify Menu > Audio > Add Normalisation Gain) FCP adds a gain filter to each clip.make it faster by setting a keyboard command for it
problem with FCP’s normalise is that it makes the adjustment for the whole clip, based on the loudest point.

In FCP5.1 select the audio clips, then
modify>levels>gain adjust>relative or absoluteCheers

The easiest way to do this is… edit your program as you would normally edit. Edit for proper sound mixing, then you can drop your sequence into a new sequence and normalize that one for broadcast. That way everything is normalized like you want.

but not with normalisation the FCP sees it.
that just sets the loudest peak in your clip to your designated db.
if it’s a nested sequence,
that just be setting one overall level for the whole show,
which is what you’ve got already!in FCP “Normalise” isnt a “Normalise” filter, that analyses the audio and adjusts it dynamically
its just process that adds a simple Gain filter to each clip.you could export your program and drop that into Something that has a normalisation tool the way what most people understand it.
SoundTrack Pro, would probably do the job.nick

“This would be the best overall option.
