VideoStudio :: SmartSound / Controlling Audio Levels?

Apr 4, 2011

I have VS4 and yesterday worked on a project with a music track and a voice-over. I created a track I liked using SmartSound, the automated music track creation app that comes with VS4 (and there's a version for VS2 & VS3 as well). A few seconds after the music track started, I wanted to dip the level so that I could insert a voice-over, but there was no way I could figure out to reduce the music level just during the voice-over. I had to reduce the level of the entire SmartSound track so that you can hear the voice-over above it.

I could have created multiple SmartSound tracks for this, using normal volume before and after the voice-over, and reducing the level during the voice-over. But that would create music that didn't flow as a continuous piece, and I like the continuous track.So... is there any way to change the level in the middle of a SmartSound track? I would normally click on the track in the timeline, split it into segments, and set the levels for each segment. However, the SmartSound track wouldn't let me do that.

VideoStudio :: Adjusting Audio Levels On Many Clips?

Jun 26, 2011

I've have saved a video/photo project that also has several audio tracks. These tracks all seem to be at different audio levels. Is there an easy way of adjusting them all so they will play at similar level ? Or do I have to go into each one and rely on my ears to get them to sound about the same?

VideoStudio :: Smartsound Files Do Not Appear In X5

Nov 27, 2012

I have Videostudio x4 Ultimate installed and everything works fine. When I click the Smartsound button all my tracks are shown and work fine.

The c:ProgramDataSmartsound Software inc points to where the sound files are are stored. I verified also that they are there outside the program.

I bought and installed Videostudio X5 Ultimate upgrade version on the same computer and now, when I click the Smartsound button nothing happens. Nothing appears. It is as if nothing is there. I got no errors while installing...

Went back to version x4 and reconstructed the database but to no avail.

I tried installing both programs on my new portable I bought a couple of days ago and it does the same thing.

VideoStudio :: SmartSound In X5 After Upgrade From X3?

Mar 20, 2012

I upgraded to X5 today (from X3) after deciding I did not want to stary learning all over again in a new editor like Sony Vegas.... I am just getting started with X5 and the first problem i ran into was accessing my SmartSound files. I can play them in the X5 Auto Music tab but the ability to "Add to Timeline" or "Auto Trim" is grayed out.

Premiere Pro :: CC Audio Levels Do Not Represent Reality

Feb 22, 2014

I have a strange issue with PP CC which did not occur on CS6. The audio levels are slightly altered. This issue is clear if I compare them through Audition or Vegas Pro, when they are not altered.
 
For example, if I have a video with a soundtrack, and I enter another audio clip in another track for vocals, the vocals are lower then they actually are (like -12 instead of -6). It becomes evident when I open the sequence in Audition, where the levels are fine. What's happening? I really need to work with precise levels.

VideoStudio :: Extract Audio From Video Clip And Export Audio To Audacity

Jul 10, 2011

I have recently upgraded my old VideoStudio 12.00 to VideoStudio Pro X4 and have only just started using the program again after a couple of years of absence so I am still on a learning curve.

Can I extract the audio from a video clip and if so how and how can I convert it, if necessary into an Audio Interchange File Format, so that I can export it to a program such as Audacity for removing background wind noise before importing the Audio back into the videoStudio project.

I have tried using all the audio filter functions in VS to remove the background noise, to no avail.

VideoStudio :: Controlling DVD Size / Reduction?

Oct 11, 2013

I have a video that is 2:20-long, so it is a bit longer than a DVD/DL (8.5GB) at full HQ. But, when I let X6 "make it fit", it seems to reduce it by almost 50%, making the DVD folders only 5.1GB. This really ruins the quality.

Is there any way I can either control the reduction or tell it to leave the output alone when writing to hard-drive/DVD folders. I can then use a different DVD/video processing program that is smart enough to control the reduction just enough to comfortably fit/fill a DVD/DL (I have such a program) and not use a 100/50/25% approach to compressing/reducing.

VideoStudio :: Pro X4 - Correct Volume Levels

Apr 2, 2012

I currently use VSP X4 and would like you to explain the tool(s) available to guarantee a good audio balance.

If we consider the 3 types of audio - the "Feature" audio, the "Ambience" audio and the "Effect" audio (like music or narration), how can I be sure they are as relevant & accurate to each other as possible?

An example.

I record someone talking on video, VSP assumes a 100 volume level for starters. I add a background music track and again it assumes a 100 volume level. Due to the nature of the MP3 or WAV file it is always louder so I reduce the volume however, sometimes when I produce a final DVD or video file, I wish I had have lowered the music track further or increased the person talking volume because the music has overpowered a bit much.

When I select Sound Mixer; Attribute; and hover over the clip volume meter, I notice 40% is displayed.

Q1/ Is this only using 40% worth of the original volume level?
Q2/ What measures can I use in VSP x4 so that when a DVD is eventually played, there isn't a need to crank up the TV volume to hear good audio levels which then in turn introduces audio "noise"
Q3/ I notice the audio meter is coloured and I suspect that touching the red signals mean distortion. How can I use this for overall best effect?
Q4/ Should I be mixing audio levels using the "-36 to +12" slider or the clip volume in Q1?

I intend using tie-mics soon and I expect all audios I throw at my projects will need a careful balance

VideoStudio :: X6 - Adjusting Music Levels Over Sections Not Working

Aug 14, 2013

I make family videos that have photos and video clips in the order taken. I then add a background music to the music track. I have always been able to lower background music inserted in the music track over the video clips, and then bringing the level back up after the video clip is over. With VS X6, this is not working any more. One hears the level of the music lower and the level comes back up but not at the places that I have done them. Most of the time I use the Smart Music, but I have seen this problem with other music.

VideoStudio :: Best / Easiest Method To Adjust Volume Levels

Jul 3, 2011

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'?

VideoStudio :: Audio Lag In 11.5 Plus

Dec 10, 2010

I am having a problem with way slow audio in Ulead Videostudio 11.5 plus. I know it's an older version, but the format is similar or the same for some of the programs and maybe someone else has had that issue on even a new software version.

I managed to make some music videos with the software, after going to Youtube, as the manual for the software really isn't that great in all honesty. it simply doesn't tell you much detail on doing things. Putting in a music track to the video clips and then turning the sound on each clip all the way down wasn't a problem, but now that I want to do a normal video-I'm finding the sound in the virtual clip or whatever(which I recorded into my digital camera-mov. files), plays like Jabba the Hut off Starwars!

What do I do here to make it sound normal and be able to edit properly and share it in normal sound?I tried splitting the audio and then it sounded normal, BUT it still had that nasty slow sound on the audio. No matter if you mute it or pull the sound down in the video/audio clips in editing. How do I get rid of that slow sound or change it to make it right? Do I even need to split audio there?

VideoStudio :: No Audio In X2?

Dec 13, 2010

So I go to edit some video and now all of a sudden there is no sound/audio playback in any of my clips. The files are fine. They play fine in other software, and in other editing software as well. But this is the my software of preference and I can't use it. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. The same thing has also happened to my DVD Workshop 2 software. And the same thing happened to at least 3 previous versions of VideoStudio. Everything works great and then one day BAM, no audio. The data is there because if I go ahead and render it again and play the new file on something else the audio is still there. So the problem is only on Corel/Ulead products. As a matter of fact I just downloaded the VS X3 demo. I cannot find anything about it online anywhere. If I cannot figure this out I am NEVER going to buy another Corel/Ulead product again. And I am a longtime user, way back to version 3 or 4. And for some idiotic reason I keep buying the new versions.

VideoStudio :: Slideshow - Audio DVD

Dec 16, 2010

Slideshow Creation: I'd like to make a slideshow DVD for Xmas to give out. I've made a lot of movies with VS but never a slide show and in fact i've never created a slideshow in any program.

Is this possible in VS10 or would it be better to use DVDLab Pro for this? If VS10 is sufficient to do this (just a fairly basic slideshow NOT HD). I really can't grasp it from the Manual since it really isn't covered in detail there (or did i miss it?) I'm looking to see what types of photos/graphics files and what resolution as well as a HOW TO. I'm clueless about slideshow creation.

Audio DVD Creation:

I do seem to recall that i did this once in VS10 - or was this a dream? Is there any tutorial on this as well?

VideoStudio :: X4 / No Audio On AVI Files?

VideoStudio :: No Audio On X4 Project?

Apr 13, 2013

Moved Videostudio X4 from a Win 7 machine to a new Win 8 PC.

Again it seems, audio plays fine when playing a clip from the preview window but not when playing on the timeline. (I had a similar problem with X10 and reported it in an older thread.)

Am searching now for more patches (and yes, I'm aware X6 is now the current version) but nothing obvious at the moment. Have found the SP 1/2/3 downloads on Corel's pages, but as it already upgraded to SP3 just after install, I'm guessing SP 1 and 2 are already covered..

VideoStudio :: No Audio On Most Chapters?

Jan 4, 2011

My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall VideoStudio 11 afterwards.

For the first time since, I've burned a multi-chapter DVD and when I play it there is no audio on Chapters 2-4 but it sounds fine on the menu music and the first chapter. Each chapter is an AVI and plays fine in VS and then in the menu preview.

I've reinstalled the software a couple of times and tried a different DVD+R but still no audio on half of the disc.

VideoStudio :: No Audio On DVD Import In V11 Plus?

Feb 9, 2012

I have been using VS11+ for a few years, and have never run across this problem until now. I am trying to import DVDs recorded on a specific machine and am getting video but no audio. There is audio on the DVDs. I have tried importing both as mpg and as avi (in project properties) but neither works. Although I've been using VS, I am self-taught and not very knowledgeable about codecs, recoding, etc. I mainly use VS for importing video from DVDs, editing, rendering and burning onto DVDs. I am not certain of the make/model of the DVD recorder, but I do know it is new. (I did a keyword search for "import DVD no audio" before posting, but it returned over 2,000 results).

VideoStudio :: How To Edit Audio In X6

Apr 3, 2013

I used to work in MediaStudio Pro which I really like it because it is very user friendly, then suddenly Corel killed them all by buying them, and never continue that wonderful program.How to edit the audio on the timeline? What I mean is, in MediaStudio Pro, from the Audio in Timeline, I can raise the audio up, then few minutes, low it down, then few seconds later, raise up again etc...From what I see right now on X6, for audio I can only either use the Audio filter to low down or to raise up the whole clip but not, raise up or low down at at any part that I want to.

VideoStudio :: X4 - No Audio During Project?

Jul 12, 2011

I add a video to the timeline video track (not the overlay track), and with 'clip' selected and playing... I have audio just fine, for the most part... sometimes the audio jumps and skips, and sounds garbled. With 'project' selected and the video playing, either the same thing happens as the 'clip' or there is no audio at all.

What I have discovered, is that this is common with AVI files. Other files, such as WMV, don't seem to have this problem. It affects only AVI files. The video plays just fine in WMP and VLC, as well as other video editors such as PowerDirector... so why dos VideoStudio have this odd sound issue? And I'm sure as Hell not gonna convert all my videos to WMV just to edit them.

This is on a fresh install of VideoStudio Pro X4 (as well as Windows), no updates, no Service Packs, no nothing... even WITH SP1 it's still does it. I've also removed and reinstalled my codec packs (from K-Lite to Shark007) with no difference.

I've also hear that people are now having this issue with VS Pro X3 as well (I have X3 to) so I assume it's pointless to install X3 as well. I really do NOT like using any editing software other than X4, since it's the best one I've used... so I do not want a reason to use something else.

VideoStudio :: No Audio On 10 Project?

Jul 16, 2008

I've recently upgraded the PC and re-installed VS10 onto the new, improved, beast in front of me now, but have hit a hurdle.

Whether I'm looking at an imported project or starting a new one from scratch, I seem not to be able to get the audio tracks to play when playing the project as a whole.

I can select the music track and play it from within the timeline without a problem, but select the project and all I get is the sound of silence.

after scanning and searching the forum I can't find anything that fits my bill so far.

Drivers have been checked and updated where found wanting. I'm at a loss to explain why. I never had this problem back on the old slow-coach...!

For info I'm running Vista on a dual core 2600Ghz machine with Asus P5K Pro 'board (on-board audio) and a GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card.
