Use volume curves to adjust the volume levels

from the official website.

Volume curves, also known as audio waveforms or volume envelopes, are a graphical representation of the amplitude (loudness) of an audio signal over time. In simple terms, it's a visualization tool that shows how the sound level changes throughout a clip or a sequence of clips in a video project. Understanding volume curves can be particularly useful for video editors and content creators working with audio in their projects for many reasons. By observing the volume curve, you can easily identify any inconsistencies or sudden changes in volume levels between different clips or parts of a clip. This information enables you to adjust the volume levels to maintain a consistent and balanced mix throughout your project, ensuring that dialogues and other important sounds are always clear and audible. When transitioning between clips or audio tracks in a project, volume curves help ensure a smooth and seamless transition by allowing you to match the volume levels of adjacent clips accurately. Volume curves can also help you identify and resolve potential audio issues, such as background noise or hissing sounds that may be present in your recordings. By visually inspecting the curve, you might be able to pinpoint where these issues occur and take corrective measures.

In video editing with Movavi, each clip comes with its own distinct volume curve that offers precise control over the audio levels within the clip. By manipulating these volume curves, you can effortlessly raise or lower the volume for specific sections of your clips.

Initially, every clip holds a baseline volume level of 100%, as denoted by the white line in the provided screenshot, prior to any customization.

To set a new volume level, simply drag the white line upward or downward to your preferred position. Remember that the maximum volume is represented at the top of the clip, while the middle signifies a volume of 50%.

Volume points are significant markers on the audio curve that represent the volume peaks and lows in the clip. To add a new point, right-click on the curve and choose Add Volume Point from the context menu that appears. Once added, you can then adjust the volume level for this point by dragging it vertically. As you manipulate these points, notice how the surrounding parts of the clip move in tandem with the adjusted point, ensuring a seamless and smooth transition between the various volume levels. Add as many points as needed to create the perfect balance of spikes or drops within each segment of the clip.

To establish a new volume level for a particular section of your clip, position two points at its beginning and end. Once set, you can fine-tune the volume by adding additional points throughout the length of the clip.
