How to Edit Audio - Volume | PowerDirector

[@PhilFlow]

Power Director is the most underrated editing program out there. And these tutorials are helping everyone to see that. I'm amazed with it's progression. You da man$

[@PDU_Tutorials]

+Lycan Phil Appreciate that Wolfman. Love your KZbin handle. :-)

[@MoreLocations]

I keep learning something new from you. Thank you

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Happy to help.

[@lorez4762]

Thankyou so much for this tutorial it's great

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome.

[@SamMatier1]

These are the absolute best videos to learn Power Director. Many other videos on Power Director are just people playing around that don't help anyone. Power Director University is the BEST.

[@mjones3303]

Learning so much from these tutorials. Thank you Maliek.

Miranda Jones You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@myfathealthylife2311]

Hi Maliek! No questions, I just want to give you a huge THANK YOU for all these tutorials! I just purchased this software a month ago when I started my channel and these videos have helped me IMMENSELY! I'm brand new in the video making/editing world and hadn't a clue how to do any of it until I started following you, so thank you so much for all the help!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

+My Fat Healthy Life WOW. I appreciate those kinds words and I'm so happy that I've been able to help you out along the way. :-)

[@SandZAcademy]

I started watching this video in frustration, thinking that I made the wrong choice when I chose to buy PowerDirector instead of Final Cut or Premier Pro... Now I'm completely satisfied, once again lol. Thanks for this. I've subscribed in effort to keep my frustration level at 0.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

+Teacher Approved I'll see if I can help you stay at 0. Thanks for subscribing. :-)

[@ponkarta2012]

Trying to watch all of your PD tutorials , this edit audio video helps me a lot , especially the normalize function surprise me , cause i don't realize that detail when i made video before.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Using normalize will help get all you audio at the same level. really a great feature. If you're trying to watch all my videos you will be watching for a while. I really wish everyone would watch them all.

[@Raetalkss]

Your channel is so helpful!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks.

[@eaglewellness373]

I'm showing the thumb some love, baby! I was having a very frustrating struggle with independent volume / audio controls with my clips in version 12. This video actually solved my problem within the first 5 minutes. Mr. Whitaker does a great job explaining the precision of this program in a straight forward, easy to understand way. And he does it with style! Ya ya!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Wow! Thanks for the glowing approval of my work. It means a lot to me. 😃

[@PamEast]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have really been struggling with my audio. This answered all my questions perfectly! Gave you the thumbs up and subscribed. Can't wait to check out more of your vids.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks for subbing. I'm glad I was able to help you.

[@phils4634]

Another reason why PD consistently gets "best software" reviews! Straightforward, easy and intuitive. (Rather than doing your lift manually at the end, you "can" use the programmed fade-in, but the manual option gives you more control!) We've passed links to your Channel to many of our friends (those who are willing to learn, that is!) Hopefully you'll have a few more subscribers pretty soon!!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Awesome. I appreciate you sharing my channel with your friends.

[@phils4634]

Your channel is such a fantastic service to the KZbin community! It's the least we can do!

[@popmindsetwithbj]

I always look for your video's as I'm often lost editing in my PowerDirector 19. Thanks!!!

[@Thewindingstairs]

Maliek, you are the best! Thank you for having clear and specific answers to all the questions I've encountered with Power Director. You have officially clicked on the thumbness pointed in the upward direction.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

HA HA! I like that. Thanks for showing me some comment love. :-)

[@JordanTheMinecrafter]

Most tutorials are almost a burden... I just wish that people would hurry up and just show me what I need while I'm frustrated. But there's something about you that's so positive and uplifting... it almost makes the tutorials fun to watch! Anyway, thanks for the tutorial! It helped a lot! :)

I did know a little about fading audio in and out, but what I could use is a simple way to rasie/lower the entire audio on any one clip.... Once again thanks to you for taking the time for another toot....

[@PDU_Tutorials]

+Titantramp4u You can raise or lower one clip by adding keyframes to the ends of the clip and adjusting them or by placing it on a track by itself and using the audio mixing room to raise the volume of the track that it is on.

[@RVingFullTime]

Maliek, I also want to add my thanks for taking time to make these demos! I have a need to turn in a single (mono) track into a stereo output. Yes, the sound will be the very same on both sides but both speakers will have sound not just one side. I get this when I use an external mic jack on my stereo input of my camcorder.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

+Sam Scherf You can use Wave Editor to copy and paste one channel into the other channel, or you can use CyberLink TrueTheater during produce and it will copy the left channel to the right during the produce process.

[@RVingFullTime]

+PowerDirector University Looks like "TrueTheater" has an added cost (after a 30 day free trial) so I'll see if I can find Wave Editor and learn how to use it. Thanks for the two leads.

[@InevitableThreat]

Hi Maliek! I'm adding this before I watch your video as I know I will get over-involved in my putting into practice your always great advice. I'm for the first time-ever of converting and creating a video and using PD Version 18 (365). I know Publisher quite well so not a steep learning curve in similar areas. I love PD's logical approach and it's so good knowing your vids will have the answers for any of my queries. You're like a new best friend to me! Take care, stay safe.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Wonderful! I'm so glad my videos are helping you with the program.

[@babyteeth4]

Thanks for another great tutorial, Maliek! Do you know if there's a way to adjust the audio for the whole track instead of just one key frame dot at a time? I always end up setting a keyframe at the beginning and one at the end of the track and make sure they're the same level, but it seems like there must be an easier way than this? Thanks man!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

+babyteeth4 You can change the audio of an entire track using the Audio Mixing room. I show how to use it in the video.

[@chrispritch]

I need to know this!! Drives me mad having to do that!!!

[@JoelK]

+babyteeth4 My technique is click the whole audio track, go to Audio Mixing Room, manually enter a value (background music for me is normally right down at -28DB). It makes the whole track one volume. Without that the stupid track has one volume at one end and rises back up towards the end of the clip. I would have thought a simple hold and pull the whole gain up or down (like ProTools) would have been a no brainer.

I played with the editor, I was like clicking everywhere to trying to adjust the volumen, and now when I put the video in the editor program any sound is not coming out. like nothing at all. I already check the White line in the audio and everything is fine I tried to put it back into the original audio and is not working. Sorry about my English grammar, it is not my first language.

very good information to know

[@hyperjason]

Hey, a little after 12:20 you said you were going to drag the volume all the way down to zero, but powerdirector considers zero the normal/initial volume point from what I've noticed so far (it does sound wierd saying negative infinity to mean no volume). Two things: 1. Useful: I've learned that when using that mixing room that when you place your play head somewhere that you could, instead of using the slider, type a volume number into the box in front of "DB" such as the zero and click enter (this helps to be more precise and helped me a little bit with my #2). 2. I understand that once you click on the volume clip and you want to insert a volume keyframe that you left click, but when I do that it doesn't just stay at zero, it tend to jump just a hair. If I use the audio mixing room I can get the 0 volume keyframe point (the starting volume) no problem, but is there a way to get that value by using the left click on the volume clip method? I've had a bit of learning pains trying to make this audio perfect and whenever I try to take one point back to the normal zero I could only get like -.4 or 1.3 unless I use the audio mixing room, but if i go back to a point later via the audio mixing room it doesn't seem to know I'm saying adjust that one particular point which is why I must learn the drag method better. 3. I've had to use 2 or 3 tracks to make an audio track for my video track and I'm going to use produce to make it a stand alone audio track to insert in my wedding video. Before I do that I want to adjust the total capable system volume uniformly since it seems low overall. Is there a way to do that or should I go ahead and produce it and then adjust by left clicking on the audio clip and adjust the DB there?
