Adjusting Audio Volume

Use the normalization function to adjust the entire audio volume and use the V-mute function to reduce momentary noise.

Normalizing Audio of Multiple Clips

Normalization function is useful to perform entire volume adjustment. Set a reference level of audio and adjust the volume of the entire video at one time. When normalization is applied to multiple clips, the volume level is adjusted to be appropriate for each clip.

1Select the clips to be normalized.

2Click [Clip] on the menu bar, and click [Normalize].

The [Normalize] dialog box appears.

3Enter the audio level to be used as reference, and click [OK].

The initial level setting will be the [Audio reference level] in the project setting.

When normalization is applied, an orange line will be displayed in the area below the audio part of the clip.

Reducing Momentary Noise (V-mute Function)

Fade in or fade out before and after a specified point to make noise less conspicuous.

1Click the expand button for the audio on the track panel.

The track expands and the rubber band and the waveform are displayed.

2Check the noise position in the waveform.

You can detect noise, etc. by reviewing the waveform range and the sound actually being played back.

3Move the timeline cursor to a position where the volume is to be zero.

Confirm the shape of the waveform display, and adjust the position of the timeline cursor.

4Click on the track panel on which the clip to be V-muted is placed.

5Right-click on the clip on which V-mute is to be applied, and click [V-Mute].

The audio volume of the time cursor position will be 0.
