Original poster Nov 11, 2009 59 4 Sorry if this has been posted. Was messing around with iMovie today. When doing a transition between a video and a picture the backing track virtually doubles in volume! Anyone else having this? 0

Aug 15, 2004 634 8 UK Yep it's aggressive audio dynamic-range compression so that the audio level seems loud whether or not there is audio from the video footage or not. At the moment the way round it is to turn off audio on the video clips - that way your background music will stay at a constant level. I actually think it would be useful to be able to have more independent control over the audio levels of the music and footage audio, (although that makes it more likely that users can produce edited video with too-quiet audio, or with distorted overloaded audio). Then again, the fact that I'm editing video on my phone is still pretty amazing! S

For what it's worth - I've been editing on my 3GS for almost a year now with ReelDirector which I consider a must have and is far more capable. You must log in or register to reply here.
