Thanks Bob, I will also try to post it in the Soundtrack and DVD authoring forum as well and see if hopefully I could get some help.

If there is anybody else that might know about Dialogue Normilization and have any answers please respond.

Thanks,

Tom

Was wondering if anybody could clear up some questions I had about dialnorm. I have read the thread and been reading up on it online but am still a bit confused. I am preparing a music video for braodcast submission to a music video channel that specifies that dialnorm be set to -24. There is a part during the video where there is dialogue, and it is ADR which I have edited in protools. This is just 40 secnds of dialogue. If i was to export the dialogue audio track track to check the LAeq in AudioLeak, would I just export a section of the audio to get the weighted average or would I export the whole duration of the track, even though that would bring down the LAeq.

How would this be done if I was doing this for a movie? Would it be the whole dialogue track or just a sample of it, because there may be sections during which there is nothing on the dialogue track but that would bring down the LAeq.

Also what would one do it they had location sound which would include some folley or background noise? How could they get a proper dialnorm so as not to be rejected by a broadcaster?

I appreciate any help anyone may be able to offer. Please let me know if you know any of the answers to the questions.

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks for the reply Jeremy.

That sounds like good advice, I will export the tiffs as 24fps quicktime movies, then use cine tools to conform to edit on 23.98 timeline.

My sound is recorded at 29.97fps, so I was trying to think ahead so that I wouldnt have a problem with sound drift later. Do you think I should convert the sound to 23.98fps as well? I havent tried matching the sound yet.

Generally when editing does the frame rate of the audio always have to match that of video?

After I had finished editing in 23.98 if I had to go to digibeta what would be the best way to accomplish it? Would I just change the current project settings then rener and export?

If anybody could help out would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
