Danny,
I was able to make the waveform larger and then added 2 points at the beginning of the audio track and two points where the volume on the track becomes lower. I dragged the second and third points down half of the way and the wave form didn’t change at all. It is the same height as I started this operation. I don’t see any changes.

Please tell me what I might of done wrong.

Thanks

Danny,

I highlighted the audio track, did shift+v, got the blue line right across the width of the audio track and then added points to the left and to the right where the volume got lower.I see that once I added points I could move the left poit to butt up right next to the first point on the left. I did the same for the right points. When I clicked in the center between the two inside points, it stated 0db. I dragged the blue line in between the two inside points and saw that it was 7.0db less but I do not see the hight of the envelope getting smaller. I clicked again the audio track and it was white but the size of the envelope didn’t change at all. What mightI be doing wrong ? This is a great idea if it would work.

Is there a way where I can mae the audio waveform larger so I could move the point right where the sound track starts ?

Thanks.

Danny,

Would matching the size of the wave form be a indication that the sound levels are all equal ? I see from your suggestion that of points, that one could go through the entire audio track and by adding points te way you suggest one can make the entire track even. I assume that the reverse would apply to make the entire audio track louder. Do I still have to use the audio envelope in order to see the blue line ?

Thanks

Danny,

I did click on the line to add points but I don’t understand what you mean “drag the line between the points and drag the points to move them” Could you please be more explicit. Thanks

Danny,
I got the blue line going thru the complete audio track but when I click on the blue line to add points, nothing is happening. Could you please explain this to me. I also am not sure what you mean I can raise or lower these areas by dragging the points or lines to match them up or down to match the levels.

Thanks

Doug,

Could you please elaborate what you are suggesting. Is the event the whole track ? I am new to this and will appreciate knowing what steps I should take.

Thanks for your first reply.

Kevin,

I already have a .mov file that has both video and sound. My problem is that I have the sound level fluctating and I am looking for some way to even out through out the entire audio track. I thought that if I were to make 25 separate edits of the original video, I might be able to correct the audio level of each video track and then stitch them back together to be one complete video.

[Arthur Brandwein]

I think a better way is for me is to make video clips since this recording has a singer singing many songs but I don’t know to go about this because I never used this program before. Once I might be able to make individual video clips, then I could edit the audio track and make the waveform uniform for all the songs and then group them back together which I do not know how to do yet and this might make the level of all the audio be uniform. Perhaps someone might chime in and help me do this ?

Thanks
