Changing Audio Levels in a Clip
To change the audio level in a clip:
1. Expand the audio track to reveal the fade control line.
2. To adjust the audio level in a clip, do one of the following:
- To adjust a specific point in a clip, click on the red line to create a fade
control point. Using the fade control point as a pivot, click on another
point in the audio track and drag the red line to raise or lower the level.
- To raise the sound level for the entire track in a clip, click the fade control
line and drag it up in the track. If fade control points exist, you need to
click on a point before raising the level.
- To lower the sound level, click the fade control line and drag it down.
- To raise or lower the sound level for the entire track in a clip while
preserving the positions of the existing fade control points, press the ALT
key, click one of the fade control points, and while holding down the left
mouse button, drag the fade control point up or down. Release the mouse
button while still holding the
ALT key.
If your audio levels are still too low or too high after adjusting the fade control
line to its maximum or minimum value, you can make further adjustments by
changing the audio gain. See “Adjusting Audio Gain” on page 187.
