Adjusting Audio Levels

Audio points can be added to audio clips on the Timeline to raise and lower the volume at desired intervals. Audio levels can also be adjusted independently or deleted from video clips altogether. See Audio Effects to learn how to quickly add a fade in at the beginning of an audio file, or a fade out at the end.

Control audio speed by using the Clip Speed effect.

To separate audio from video clips:

Right-click the clip on the Timeline and select Separate Audio and Video from the context menu, or select the clip and press Alt + S. The audio will separate onto a new track above, allowing for independent movement.

To raise or lower the volume of an audio clip:

  1. Right-click the clip on the Timeline and select Separate Audio and Video from the context menu.
  2. The audio will separate onto a new track above the original track. On the track with the audio, select the yellow line and drag it up to raise the volume, or down to lower the volume.

While raising or lowering the volume, the level will snap to 100% as the yellow line nears the center. To avoid this, hold down Shift while raising or lowering the volume.

To add audio points to an audio clip:

  1. At the desired location on the clip, right-click the audio clip and select Add Audio Point from the context menu.
  2. Continue to add as many audio points as necessary.
  3. Select an audio point (dot) and drag up to raise the volume at that point, or drag down to lower the volume at that point.

To remove audio from a video clip:

Right-click the clip on the Timeline and select Remove Audio from Video from the context menu.
