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.
The Issue: adjusting the volume of a DVD menu background music (and only that), How to.
Problem statement: Running X5 pro. Preparing a DVD disk with an introduction and 6 clips, with one main menu. Having chosen the smartscene menu template to use, the items on the menu are adjusted (sometimes the menu item needs a simple name rather than the clip file name, and specifically the name/spelling on the menu item should match whatever is in the clip it relates to), and finally the Edit tab selected to choose a different music track for the menu. The option button here allows a variety of tweaks to the music - the music selection, fade in/out, duration etc, but NOT the volume of the music when played as the menu background.
The previewed end result has significantly (twice the volume at least) louder music that the remaining clips. Disconcerting to a viewer. Now, I know there is a normalise audio button at the final burn stage to (supposedly) even out the sound variations, but I've found an issue with that (separate post on this forum recently. The short term fix is to manually even the sound levels of clips out before burning the DVD with that normalise audio button OFF). That approach does not cover the sound level of the background music for the menu, which by default is rather loud, and with no apparent means of turning the volume of it down without impacting the rest of the disk.
Also noted in preview, there is a speaker symbol permitting volume control, but by experimentation that appears to manage the volume of everything, rather than just the menu.
The question: Is there a way of adjusting the menu music sound level ONLY?
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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I reduce the audio volume for all the clips in the project? The original sound from the video clips is just ambient noise. I want to reduce it all by the same amount throughout the project, so that the music I put on the music track will be easier to hear, with the ambient noise being only a soft background. I can't find any control that lets me change the volume for all clips at once, and the documentation isn't very clear.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter 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 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 have been meaning to ask this question when using previous versions but forgot so here goes Now using ProX4 (boxed upgrade) and it has the same prob as with previous versions namely that when on the Share step and adding a music file to one of the Gallery intro scenes I have not found any way to control the volume of that sound as it blares out LOUD on preview and in the final DVD video. If the viewer of the DVD video subsequently lowers that sound level then the sound level is too low for the following video. I have made a sound file at the sound level I need but even that is ignored and the sound on the intro screen is LOUD again. Corel Support advised me that I can adjust the volume when in the preview prior to butning but that does not affect the level on the final DVDF.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am trying to adjust the noise level with the level tool but its not working. I move the arrows every which way see that it changes. I get it to were i want it them press ok and it only changes a little bit.
It become what it was in the preview. The level tool works when I add it as a new adjustment layer but I don't want like that I want to be able to copy the new level of noise I just made and can't if I add new adjustment. what should I do to fix this? O and this is the trial version and It wasn't working earlier with lots of other tool but i uninstalled it and now they are working except the level tool how I want it to.
I don't know why Corel made this program without the ability to change the playback speed in project view. You can only change the speed on each clip. When you have 50 or more clips, this can take all day, when it could take a few seconds if you can do it in project mode.

how to adjust the display level on doors.
I have attached a PDF of my problem.
In the sketch is a simple room with 3 types of doors.
A Single door which displays properly
An overhead door which has a sq box attached to it and
A Double door which has all sorts of lines/boxes displayed on it
Ho do I get the doors to appear normal in plan view.
How do I show high level walkways and balconies (in dashed outline) on the ground floor plan in a high volume space?
Obviously I can turn the first floor RCP on in the view and manually draw the information, but I assume these lines won't move if the walkways above move (or am I wrong?). Also this seems slightly wrong given the amount of automation available.
I am syncing pictures , effects and video snippets to a song. Why is that when I ever I add a new set of pictures or effect, it moves my music as to make space for it despite using a different layer. Is there a way to lock the music in place as I add more photos and media?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen we capture music from CD's in Pro X3, the last few seconds of the songs get cut off. Or the recording skips, cuts out a few seconds of the song right before the end, and then captures the end of the song. It's an intermittent problem with no rhyme nor reason that we can figure out as to which songs are being affected. But once a song has been captured and the end garbled, that same song will always be garbled no matter how many times we delete the recording and recapture it.

I am reducing the Clip volume to 3 (I think that is 3%) and it is still too loud. If I move it down to 2, it is inaudible. Is there another adjustment somewhere? I really cannot have a background music compete with the narration!

View 2 Replies View Relatedis there a way to separate music from speech and SFX? I want to keep the music out ONLY, so I can re-write it.
I understand 5.1 has 5 channels, so are the speech & SFX separated from the music?
By the way, it's enough to have only ONE channel with ONE type of sound (i.e. music), because then I can extract it and reverse-phase it to (partially) cancel out it's equivalent from the master audio track. It's not perfect but enough.
I have assembled a project and shortened the sound track in the last segment. How exactly can I fade out that last segment only?

As a newbie hopping to put video with my still images I started out by making a DVD of a video of a boat followed by the same boat after Mercali processing. Video were fine and Mercali worked as it says. How do you get a plain DVD without one of the fancy backgrounds that the program makes you chose to start the DVD which need titles and without horrible music that came from nowhere? I cannot find how to make a video with nothing at the start that goes straight into the video you have made. All I want is how to make a DVD of my videos (I can put the title on top of the video at the start) that you put into a DVD player that self starts or at worst needs you to press play on the remote control.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have VideoStudio X3 Pro and just want to convert all my DV tapes to DVD - no background music, no fancy themes, just conversion with a menu and 15 minute automatic chapter breaks (or scene breaks using the X3 scene detection).
The only way I can test the themes provided in X3 to see if they have background music is to burn a tape to DVD. That just isn't very efficient.
how I can do this, which theme to use, or a way to adjust the theme before it burns?
