Adjust Audio Levels in Final Cut Pro [HOW TO]

[@speedracer442]

David almost a year ago I stumbled across your 1Password video, plus I had purchased my first Mac Pro laptop. Thanks to you and your videos I have come along way. I do have drones, and Final Cut Pro. By far you are a very awesome instructor. I spent 24 years in the military and know a good instructor when I see one. You are a very giving person. I cant wait till your next video on Final Cut Pro. Its gonna be a fun summer , because of your informative videos. I love creating content, and its all your fault !

[@MarleyJaxx]

Hi, David! Hmmm.. So, it'really worth it to go for Final Cut Pro than iMovie? I have been using iMovie for quite some time already. Love your video by the way!

[@peterbuchwald3489]

How to automate audio volume at 4:26. Thank you! I don't use FCX often and forget things like this.

[@ManInTheBigHat]

Coming from the original FCP 15 years ago and playing with this new version five years ago I was dismayed. But they seemed to have smoothed it out. Your videos are very clear and helpful. Thanks.

[@FLEXIFITNESS1]

at 4:37 he shows you how to change volume. talks a lot

[@sonarun]

The true hero!

[@DreamingOfReality]

your my hero

[@watchanimerecap]

Not all capes wear heroes :P

[@stunningcreative2628]

👏

[@adventuresofjandk]

Too many do this. Just get to the point.

[@gebymailoa]

people were ranting about how much you talked but none of them said thank you. so here i am, thank you so much for sharing!

[@thethreadwontcut]

TECH TALK IS THE F*%$ING BEST!

[@Yigit_Hacioglu]

Thank you so much! So useful to me! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FilmanSantiago]

Very helpful. Thanks much.

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Thanks to those of you who caught it. OHHHH THE IRONY! When I exported this video (the first time) I made a boo boo and the audio levels on my video were wayyyy down. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@AlfieCasson]

David A. Cox very ironic!😂 nice video

[@AlfieCasson]

I'm looking forward to some more Final Cut Pro videos

[@AnvarZakirov]

why you talk a lot?

[@brunog6050]

Hi Daveman, this is all nice and clear, good job. I got two questioins: 1. Could you ellaborate on one specific issue though: what if there is just ONE silly seagull that is too loud, but the rest of the "group" is okay...? Meaning: if i have an audio (voiceover) and there is one particular point, for two seconds, when the narrator goes "over the limit", and it is only that 2 seconds i need to "quiet down", without effecting all the rest of audiotrack... then what? and 2. Is there any keyboard-combination that makes it easy to edit the audio track, so I don't have to bring the cursor to the right top corner and find that plus button to "leave a mark" in the auditorack? cheers

[@john-wiggains]

Incredibly helpful!! Thank you!

[@rachidzedd]

Thanks man. Nice tutorial!

[@JudSan]

Perfect. Just what I was looking for.

[@jenniferaks-neuman6947]

I figured that out. I am curious about the audio jungle comment you made. is the music free? do you have suggestions on purchasing music b/c I am running in copyrighting issues thanks

[@carolyndignam3592]

Hi David, I was wondering in this video can you please tell me what is the name of the app or program you are using to add audio to your wonderful video? Thank you and keep on making these great videos please!!!

[@xdcameraman]

Really helpful - thanks David

[@alexisdigiulio8585]

Thanks for these tips man cheers !

[@DarrinLin]

Thank you so much. Was looking everywhere for a tutorial but they all talked about fading in at the beginning/end of the tracks.

[@BSKiteHaps]

So great to discover your toutoursl

[@djbavmorda1441]

Why can't yanks just cut to the damn chase? That was five minutes of unrelated dribble before I got the information I needed.

[@ManInTheBigHat]

It's understandable that for this waste of your time you should compensated. I'd start with a complaint to KZbin and then initiate a lawsuit. Important people like yourself deserve to get exactly what you want in the precise form in which you want it.

[@AdreamlyfeByMichelle]

@@ManInTheBigHat LOL

[@FilmanSantiago]

@@ManInTheBigHat spot on

[@RangerRickTV]

Why when you do a voice over on line level, it doesn't actually sound like line level in final cut?

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Perfect and simple! Thank you!

[@richb1334]

I like that you release in sections t makes it easy to under stand for because I am new at this

[@ChizmarFarms]

This is exactly the reminder I needed for my video edit today. Thank you!

[@HomeBiogas1]

Hi David, great video! Where are the other final cut how to videos?

[@jimharvey9894]

Thank you sir. Very informative. I’m trying out final cut trial. Hoping to learn and purchase

[@part4963]

jiimy sup man

[@ingridullestad7555]

Thanks, this helped so much!!!

[@fivewattworld]

Thanks David. I can always count on your vids to answer my questions without getting assailed by copious volumes of promotional noise up front.

[@rickyhurtado]

This should be titled "how to turn a 45 second video into 7 minutes"

[@whelancommunications]

In FCP 7 you just hit P and click the points to make key frames, it was great. simple. One of many great things lost when Apple threw the baby out with the bathwater in 2010.

[@wahofheroes1675]

Simple, nice and straight forward

[@XioArleen]

Great Video! how do you mix going up and down with volume. Let's say I want the music to pause for the voice over then back on and then pause again and then back and so on. Not pause but go down in volume a bit to hear the voice speaking in certain parts.

[@ourguitar]

Love this. It is very clearly explained.

[@yazannimri9607]

hi david , i want to take a private class for final cut pro , can you please guide me what to do ?

[@Renaxelo]

how to copy paste your audio keyframes to other audio file ?

[@tindaltarran]

thanks mate this was fantastic help

[@FreethinkerDave]

Great video David. I like the idea of short, specific lessons. It makes it easier to search and find the help you need on a particular task. Why only 720p resolution? I usually go full-screen on my 27" iMac during these FCPX videos so I can see where exactly you're clicking. 720p looks a little grainy. Looking forward to future lessons!

[@MelissaStaiger]

Thanks!

[@doctorgrowl]

In Vegas on Windows, you can shape the shape of the volume change curve. Can you do it in FCP-X?

[@General111100]

wow. can you do more tutorial of audio in fcpx tnx

[@BlazePhantom]

is this the part 2 of final cut pro x tutorials??

[@terranceblount5959]

Thank you for your help and making it easy to understand!

[@alasdairpage]

David, one brief request - could you output your videos at 1080p or a higher resolution please? They're not as crisp and awesome at full screen as they could be. Also, I didn't know you could add keyframes like that. I always ⌥+click on the audio line thing to add the diamonds. But otherwise, great content and thanks for all the pointers. Was looking forward to FCP part 2, but shorter video tutorials works too! :D

[@ty2u]

Good content, well presented! Keep it up!

[@youren5804]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, it's awesome!

[@barbarayasuhara3406]

Your videos are amazing as are all of your recommendations! Thank you. I am however having tremendous difficulty finding tutorials that specifically address "pitch" issues. I have a project I am working on now and for some reason the voiceover pitch is slight "off", a tad lower than my clients voices. Not sure what I am doing wrong, being new to FCP and an iMovie user is not helping me much. Could you refer me to any portions in your course PDF or other links? Thanks again! You are right about Adigold! WOW!!!

[@yjshim3594]

You have taught me all about final cut pro! 💕

[@patorjk]

Great video, I'll be looking forward to more of these. You should consider making a playlist of your Final Cut Pro videos (that'd make them easier to find to see if there were any we missed - I see you have a Master Video Editing playlist, but this wasn't in there).

[@djarnocosta]

Could you tell me how I can make all the clips have the same volume?

[@AndrewPrince]

David, maybe a FinalCut Pro check list pdf step-by-step would be nice to have. Or something we can print out so we do't have to go back to videos. Thanks

[@thiagobilekkkk]

there is a way to increase the size of the audio bar to show more clear the beats to sync whit the change of clips?

[@bonvivantcheftori2384]

I watched this hoping it would help me figure out why my sound disappears when I upload to IG. I'm using Final Cut. I have a pro wireless mic that feeds directly into my DSLR. When I upload to IGTV the video has sound then 5-10 min later the sound becomes just goobles and scratches.

[@AnvarZakirov]

He just talks 5 min first not showing anything

[@TheMentalHealthToolbox]

Love your stuff! Thanks for putting out great content! You have been a big help in learning FCPX.

[@maks6796]

More More More! Great video!

[@ceedee1794]

excellent thanks a million

[@GlennPowell-bg5ft]

Where do i find the link to the audio artist/

[@CreativeChai-613]

is there a quick way to delete these keyframes?

[@seguemaserati4178]

What dslr do you prefer

[@ahmedalsubaie9088]

We need a video about workflow app. I have difficulty in using it, especially downloading twitter video

[@barbarak.stuckey1780]

Could you direct me to the Canon printer you recommend: low ink costs; printing from screens, computer and phone? At one time you offered to sell these printers. If so now, please direct me for purchasing. If not now, please, remind me the model number. Thank you very much. My printer is gasping its last. Barbara Stuckey

[@MrM1a2t3t4h5e6w7]

Doesn't match with 2023 FCP10 version. but still a good help.

[@noeleee]

Thanks David, love the channel!! Greetings from Ireland :-)

[@jenniferaks-neuman6947]

how do you delete a volume key frame?

[@cherishpotluri957]

do a similar one with premiere pro

[@detailsmove]

In FCP 7, the audio levels stay shown even when the video is paused and as i go by frame. How can I get the audio levels to stay and not disappear in FCP X?

[@StephenDavisMonsignor]

Excellent video - thanks!!!

[@logicfrogmedia]

info starts 4:26

[@lokeangstrom8693]

WHY WHY is there not an monitor level or listening-level adjustment ?? If audio is super loud/maximised. If you use an Macbook Pro with internal audio it's really not cool.

[@davejones4740]

How do you tail off audio. I made a bit of comentery, but made a mistake in the middle of it.

[@EveryDayDetox]

That was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!

[@pepper856]

when i heard those bird singing ... lol...I mean they are cute but ... lol

[@tewtravelers9586]

Man, they really hide that key frame icon! Thanks!

[@Rob-nr4qr]

You've got a great voice and you are very informative, but you've got to cut down the talking. Quicker to the point would be better. Either, way very well done. High quality stuff.

[@pappysproductions]

I didn't come here cuz I'm lonely, I came here to learn. Way too much pointless chatter. I won't waste my time on videos like these.

[@danielbutcher5836]

Second time I've used this for reference. For everyone complaining: just click ahead.

[@davidcox2325]

Same name bruv!!!

[@duggalbrothers]

where have keyframes been all this time????????????? im so dumb.

[@anotherdeskjob6460]

Nice eyes !

[@INFAMi5]

Okay so I dragged the puppy down.... What next ?

[@DS-xk6yr]

Jesus H... he takes ages to get to the damn point - spends all his time hyping his brands.

[@cynthiasoka]

Just a bit too long winded

[@deipakpatel8855]

Too much beat around the bush....sigh!

[@telebob]

Mr Chatty wants to gab instead of show you how to do it.... huge time waster.

[@paulgrant9058]

The man who puts seagull sounds on a video without seagulls is talking waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much. This video could be 25% of its length without losing anything of the tutorial. Still did not find what I was looking for, and that's to change the curve of the volumen change.

[@zuryrz]

Long intro

[@randymanyayi]

cut to the chase you talk too much.

[@alexraymedia3046]

get to the point

[@shahsadozai]

talk less and get to the point!

[@upaynaientertainment]

Talk less teach more

[@tracksidevideos9881]

thank you !!
