VideoStudio :: Adjust Video Track Volume - X6?
Apr 14, 2013
I made a 4 minute video comprising 25 clips including background audio and an accompanying "Auto Music" Music track.At present the background sound of the kiteboarding video is too loud and overpowers the music.
How to I reduce the volume of the entire 4 minute video track in a single procedure? If I open Sound Mixer I only see a way to adjust individual points in each of the 25 individual clips. So changing it this way would involve a ridiculous amount of work. Ideally I would like to simultaneously reduce the background water action sound to about 25% of current lever for the entire video track. Then perhaps go back in and bump it up again in one two two spots to accentuate things. I can select the entire video track with shift/enter but then most of the menus are greyed out. Also tried splitting audio from video but it only does it for one clip at a time. Surely there is an easier way?
Background: I am new to videostudio after deciding Adobe Elements which came with my HP laptop is too complex for what I want. All I want is a simple video editing package. So that I can take kiteboarding video from a GoPro, cut it down to something worth watching and adding non copyright background sound. I can then put it on my iPad or share it to friends via youtube. So I am trialling VideoStudio X6 which seems to fit the bill. Dealing with the audio is the only bugbear I have and I want to work it out before I buy it. I cannot believe it can be so complicate to bump the background audio volume down a few notches.

When cutting video shots in sync with a music track how can I remove part of a clip and replace with a new shot. I know there is a replace clip facility but there appears to be no way of editing the new clip. What I would like to do is leave blanks in sync with the music and fill in correct length of shot later. The same question for overlaying video shots of an interview and holding sync when returning to interviewee.

In VideoStudio 6, how does one connect the voice track to the video during the editing process?
My specific issue is that I have to go back and edit material sometimes that precedes the voice track I already have laid down, but when the time frame of the material after my new edit I have to go back and drag the voice track to the proper location. I would like to be able to permanently "attach" the voice track to the specific video clip and have it follow that clip as it is moved, time wise, during the editing process.
Is there a means to make this happen?
PS - I realize there is a work around way - just publish each clip and then rebuild the final project but that is NOT what I want to do.

I see that you can split the audio from the video. Can you do the reverse and link the audio back into the video say after you split, cut and mute an off camera scream? It would just make it easier to add clips before the edited one, although it's not all that hard to sync things up.

In VSX4, when laying a background music track for a project, is it possible to raise and lower volume of sections of the track along a continuous track of music?

I know this is an easy one, but how do you change audio levels (volume) inside a song track, including length of fade in and fade out?

In the burn stage, after picking a menu template, I cannot adjust the volume of the music for the template. I enter the preview screen and adjust the volume there, using the slider. When I preview the video the volume is where I set it. But when I burn the project the music is back to it's original level, which is very loud. I can select no music, and this works but i can't adjust the volume.

I recently bought X4 and noticed that you can't loop/repeat some files using the 'repeat' button. The volume button also seems to appear for some and not all files. Is there something I'm missing here or is this a file compatibility issue?

After staying away from video editing for some time I have just installed VS X5. But here I can't find the Audio View in which I could adjust the sound volume (using the graph) in the video track. Has it gone away or is it just that I can't find it?
Does this mean that I have to split the audio from the video to be able to adjust the volume (up and down at various places, not just the track volume).

When trying to lay a music track in my project from the Auto Music library, I am unable to adjust the level of that music. Prior to laying the track the volume control is grayed-out and unavailable.
After the track is laid and the volume control is available, it has no effect on the music level in the laid track.

When creating movies from video taken I add both background music, narration and sometimes sound effects.
When using background music in particular I prefer to reduce the volume during narration so that the narration can easily be heard. I have been doing that using the 'rubber band' by trial and error - I reduce the volume by 'pulling' the 'rubber band' down a little and then preview that section of the video to check if the volume level is correct/to my satisfaction. I note that during the process of adjusting sound level with the 'rubber band' that there is a sound level 'meter' (in decibels) but I don't seem to be able to use it. Is this (adjusting the sound level in decibels) the method I should be using and if so how is it used?
What is the best method to use when adjusting sound levels in the middle of a sound 'clip'?

I'm a professional musician trying to create material for my website and YouTube. I recently shot video with two cameras at an event. I need to learn
1) how to insert the second video track,
2) how to line it up to the exact time of the first video track, and 3) how to pan back and fourth between tracks to create a short film.

I am using VS5 for the first time by creating avi files in Proshow Producer and importing them into video studio to make a show with both video and still images. My question is; once clips are imported to the video track can they be moved left or right? The reason I ask is the videos made in Producer are not necessarily in the order of the finished show and I would like to move the clips around to make the flow of the show smoother. When I try to move the clips on the video track they won't move left or right but only up or down in the overlay track. When I move the clip where I want it and move it into the video track the clip snaps back into it's original position. Is moving the clips into the overlay track the only way I can put them where I want them or am I missing something?

I am putting together a biographical video of my wife and myself for our kids (married 50 years). I want to have a video of her (example) sitting and talking about growing up. Is there a way to insert a photo on the main video track and still keep the voice track intact? Example: She is talking about her childhood. A photo apears of her as a small girl while she is still talking. The photo goes away after a few seconds and there she is live and taliking. I hope to get away from using the overlay track.

Is there a way to show more than just one thumbnail from a given clip when inserted into the video track? Currently in VS X4 I get just a thumbnail at the start of the clip and a blue bar after that. In Microsoft Movie Maker by comparison you get thumbnail after thumbnail from the various frames within the clip, I also see in one of Trevor's tutorials (bottom of the page) URL.... there's thumbnails galore but he may be using images rather than a video clip.

I found a post here that says the best way to increase the volume in a video is to normalize all clips individually. I tried that but for some reason my video would get all buggy with I split the clips into video and audio and then normalized the audio.
Buggy in the sense that at playback it would just stop as if stuck and wouldn't play. Then I tried creating a media file despite the fact but it would not do so.
Fast forward I am out of time for a project so I went to every clip and changed the audio percentage instead.
In sum, my question is, is there a way to increase the volume for the whole video before or after the mp4 output is created? Somehow the overall volume doesn't seem loud enough.

When I apply a transition to a clip on the overlay track (and/or title track) the transition is applied to the video on the video track... even if the clip on the video track is 'in the middle' to where the transition is on the overlay track. e.g. If I apply a dissolve (or any transition) to the overlay clip... the clip on the video track will go through said transition also. VSX4
In other words, the clip on the video track goes through the transition applied on the overlay or title track.
This does not seem right. I saw nothing in preference that would affect this and I saw no way of 'de-parenting' the video track with the overlay or title track. (By de-parenting I mean separating the tracks so what happens on one does not affect the other.)

What is the difference between the Video track and the Overlay tracks?
I noticed that I cannot trim the "overlay" clips, but when I added some screen recording to my folder and placed it on the timeline, it automatically goes to the Overlay track. And from there, I cannot trim them as the scissors icon is greyed out. Is there a way to add those clips to the video track instead of the overlay track if there is no other video in the way?

I am assembling a project with a few video, overlay and audio clips. Everything is timed the way I want, but I decide to add a few seconds to the beginning. I insert the additional clip and all the video clips move over, but all the other clips (overlay and audio) do not move. It takes a long time to adjust everything and get the timing correct again.
Is there anyway to LOCK the audio and overlay clips to their corresponding video, and have them move together when I insert video in the beginning?

I'm using VS 11. Is there a way to insert gaps between clips on the main video track? I can do this when I move the clips to the overlay track, but I need the overlay track for actual overlays, so I don't want to do that for this project. I need gaps so I can put in narrative text between each clip.
Alternatively, is there a way to have multiple overlay tracks?

I want to keep the original audio captured with video footage but remove the actual video and replace it with other video footage taken and still images. I'm guessing that this is possible using the overlay track, but ideally, I would like to just remove the original video so that I can use two new images between the main track and other "images" on the overlay track. I have no need for the original video, just the audio. Is this possible? If not, is there any way to insert audio from video onto either a music or narration track scrap the video portion?

If I have two cameras pointing toward one subject (say someone being interviewed) what would be the best way to place the two video tracks in X3?
One I would be the main video track, but would the other have to be the over lay track? Is there an option to create a 2nd main video track that I could switch between? So when I am editing an interview clip I could pick between video track 1 or 2 and choose the angle I want?

I'm having a difficult time dialing in how to adjust the aspect ratio of my video. I'm sure this is easy to do, but I'm
Some of the clips I'm inserting are wide, and some are standard TV size. I did the "Fit to Sceen Size in Overlay Track" but how do I change what that final sceen size is? I'd like to be able to either make my project wide and have the TV size clips automatically stretch to fit, or make it TV size (is that 720x480?) and have the wide clips squish to fit.
Not sure which way I'm going to go yet, but is there a way to make the clips automatically do either in the window/final product? As some of the clips are playing, I'd like to slowly zoom-in. Is that possible to do?

I recently started using my DSLR (Nikon D800) to shoot some video. My wife has several musical projects and I'm just shooting some basic demo videos. But since these are musical projects, the audio is important. And while I plug the camera microphone port directly into the mixing board, and get really good audio, I still want to be able to work with the audio track separately to do some basic equalization, volume adjustment, etc.
Photoshop's video handling is pretty basic, and it seems all I can do with the audio track is delete it, adjust the master levels, or add an outside track.
Is there a way I can strip off and save the audio to a separate file and process it with audio software (what software?) so I can then re-add it Photoshop?
Am I approaching this from the wrong angle? I don't want to spend tons of money on a full video editing package. Is there audio software that can open the video file and just edit the audio track?
