Hi.
I recently recorded a local kids' musical using two cameras. The edit on VS9 has gone brilliantly however the sound is disimilar from both cameras, with one sounding clear whilst the other sounding muffled.
I've created a sound file of the whole event and tried to work with it in Sound Forge 6 but it's too complicated for a novice like me. Any help would be great as the dissimilar sound really messes up the movie. What I want is something that would equalise the sound output. Can it be done in VS9?
Thanks
C'mon guys! Rise to the challenge!

It depends on how the audio differs. If it is the audio volume and you have UVS 9, it has a normalize option when you create your DVD.
There is also a normalize audio filter that can be applied to single audio clips to normalize the audio volume within that clip -- you could create a new project containing all the video from the two cameras, render it to a single new output file, and apply the filter to that, then do you editing.

Your project really interests me. I've lamented the absence of a second camera to handle the moments when tape is changed, etc. Now that we have two, I notice that they record sound slightly differently.
Did you get a complete soundtrack with the "good" camera? If so, you could use it and mute the soundtrack on the video taken with the other camcorder. You'd just have to adjust the second video track to be in synch with the sound.
If you did not get one complete sound track, you might be able to brighten the muffled sound track using an audio editor. I've heard of Audacity, which is apparently still a free download. Sony Sound Forge can be used free on trial for one month, but it's probably more than you need.
