Does VS 2019 have a volume equalizing filter or setting?

Post by jungleexplorer »

When I shoot a video in the field, I shoot with a few cameras that might be at different ranges. Thus, the audio from each camera might be at different volume levels. Now, when I am editing, I can adjust the volume of each clip manually, but I was wondering if there was some kind of setting or filter in VS that I can use to level out the volume of all the clips automatically?

No, there is no such option. You should do it externally with Audacity etc.

Audacity cannot edit video, only audio. The only way to do it with audacity, would be to strip the audio from the video, splice it all together, and resync it with the video files. East to write, but quite a lot of work to do.

Normalizing is the tool but I never got it too work as I wanted in VS.
Audacity does it better.

Normalizing does not do this kind of job. The audacity is much better. Each camera has a built-in compressor and unfortunately all are adjusted differently ( it looks like each manufacturer has its own standards. :-) ).
The easiest way is strip the audio, put it into audacity set the compressor and adjust the sound level from each camera to unity level in Audacity. Then copy the audio tracks back to VS to each cameraclip.
I do not know how many audio tracks are available in VS2019. If there are more than different cameras, you can simplify the job. Edit your videos in the way that each camera has its own track/overlay. When the video editing is done you can export the sound from each videotrack individually and modify/level it in Audacity.
After that you can copy back each soundtrack into separate audio track and do the final mixdown.
If you do not have enough soundtracks, you can export just the final one ( with differences between the cameras), if you play a bit with audacity you can get a very good compensation results.
