Adjusting audio volume levels

You can adjust or mute the volume of individual audio tracks. You can also fade a track’s audio in at the beginning and out at the end of the movie.

Note: You cannot change the volume level if the track contains multi-channel Dolby Digital audio.

To change an audio track’s volume level:

  • In the Timeline window, right-click on the audio track and choose Volume from the shortcut menu. The Audio Volume dialog box appears.

  • Drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume, or enter a percentage in the Level field. Be careful when increasing the volume; clipping may occur if the level is too high.

  • Click the OK button.

To fade an audio track in or out:

  • In the Timeline window, right-click on the audio track and choose from the shortcut menu:
  • Fade in: Fades the audio in at the start of the video track.

  • Fade out: Fades the audio out at the end of the video track. This is useful when the audio track is longer than the video and would otherwise cut off abruptly when the video ends.

To mute an audio track:

  • In the Timeline window, right-click on the audio track and choose Mute from the shortcut menu.

No sound will be heard when previewing or on the finished disc.
