Audio

[Alade]

I am have a slight problem with my audio....it sounds and looks great on the timeline, but after burning a DVD, it is lower than normal.....I want to know which metering to use for my timeline....VU, Peak etc..........I am using -12db as my reference audio, but I am having a problem when i look at the meter which is giving me the correct levels as I notice that they all read different

Try: Peak Meter - Full Scale & Reference audio at -20db

Hey Tuyle,
Are you talking about Peak Meter Pro on this website -?

Thanks, Alan

Thats not possible....Full Scale & Reference are on the same choice list.....I cant select both at the same time.....do you mean VU meter & Reference

[tuyle]

for Audio Ref Level: Project Setttings - Audio Reference Level: change to -20db
for Audio Mixer of Edius: on the upper right hand corner, left click on the arrow down (next to X) - tick on Peak Meter & Full Scale

Alan, I'm talking about the Edius Audio Mixer ... :-)

[Alade]

Yea, I know where to find it, just want to know which combination is best for accurate , or nearest accurate reading...thanks ......

[tuyle]

Try to burn the DVD with this setup and let us know.
On Edius - the the Audio Mixer: make sure the master @0.0 db (number at the bottom of the slide).
Play audio on the timeline and adjust the volume so the master will have max @-10, but not over -6.

[Alade]

Will try it on my next project.....

also, make sure your Edius5 is preset for Edius3 compatible panning mode

if a project was started with panning mode on standard, you can still change it by right clicking the sequence tab

I am not sure if anyone is really using standard panning mode?

[Alade]

tyanks...but I am still lagging behind with 4.52, and will NOT get rid of 3.62......just because i like photo Album, and use it in all my wedding videos....I personalise it for every client, from the cover to the pages....dont know why the wizards at GV cant build a plugin to get it to work in v.4 & v5....such a waste of program.....

[antonsvideo]

Edius3 was a great version, very stable

however, I can no longer edit without multiple timelines (sequences)

[Alade]

yeh, I am getting used to using multiple timelines as well.....but v.3 was so nice......I use both.....v.4 for the advantages of multiple timelines, multi cam, and the fixes , but cant dump 3....not until I get a replacement for photo album......I still think , even though it had limitations, it was a very great plugin......got to see what v5 has to offer me......I must admit though, v3 has a real smooth look..4+ well had to get used to it....but I would NOT trade EDIUS for any other program......all I want to see now is a nice meter....like a seperate pallette, that I can place it anywhere I want while editing....maybe in V.501?...lol...no, I am not going to hold my breath.......

We are. It makes more sense when going to an pro audio app. You don't get 1 duplicate but 1 devide where the sum is 100. It also makes more sense when going for dvd audio in a pro app.

in my case I often shoot talking heads with radio mike connected to channel1 with perfect level

now, with panning mode Edius3, when I right click the clip and choose monaural1, the track is dupliocated onto track2 and keeps the same level, this is what I need and want

with panning mode on standard, I lose half the level and I need to boost it with rubberband or filter or audio mixer to get it back to the correct level

Just as an aside I have found this program invaluable for auto adjusting levels and other things: http://www.conversationsnetwork.org/levelator

especially for less controlled environments like a speaker at a podium.
