Audio levels during transitions - VS11

[timiano2]

Hi all

I'm having trouble with editing audio levels during transitions. I have brought the sliders all the way the bottom, so from the blue line representing the audio level it looks fine.

But, on playback, when the transition happens (say crossfade for example), the audio shoots up to 0 level, not the -36 that I have set it at. When the transition finishes, the audio level shoots to -36 as it should be.

Any ideas, it seems a bit hit and miss.

Thanks

Setting the audio during the transition is real tricky, since a transition is part of 2 video clips, blended together. I messed around with this and was finally able to get the audio dropped during the transition. Zoom in on the timeline so you can see the end point of the first video clip, and start of the second. (I'm talking about the audio nodes). Then using the rubber band method, grab the node and drag it down.

If you are needing the entire clip muted, why not just use the mute icon? That mutes the entire clip, and it should remain muted through the transition. Then I might add that if you know you are going to need the volume dropped at a transition point, then try setting the audio before adding the transition.

Now if you are just needing the audio volume changed during the clips, but not the entire clip, then you can use the rubber band method, or zoom in to frame level on the timeline. Then set your cursor where you want to change the audio volume. Make sure you're in audio view. Now click on the audio rubber band to create a node. This will make sure your volume stays level to this point. Now move slightly to the right, and now you can either click to create another node, or just move the volume slider. Repeat this process in reverse order if you need to bring the volume back to the normal level.
