opened for selected clips that have already had their gain adjusted, the current gain value is displayed in this field.
The default value is 0.0 dB. This option allows the user to adjust gain by + or - dB. Entering a value other than zero in this
field automatically updates the Set Gain To dB value to reflect the actual gain value applied to the clip.
The default value is 0.0 dB. Users can set this to any value below 0.0 dB. For example, a user may want to allow
for headroom and set this to -3 dB. This normalization option adjusts the maximum peak amplitude in the selected clips to the user-specified
value. For example, a clip with a peak amplitude of -6 dB will have its gain adjusted by +6 dB if Normalize Max Peak To is set to 0.0 dB. For
a multiple-clip selection, the clip with the maximum peak will be adjusted to the user-specified value, while the other clips will be adjusted by
the same amount, preserving their relative gain differences. For example, assume clip one has a peak of -6 dB, and clip two has a peak of -
3 dB. Since clip two has the greater peak value, it will be adjusted by +3 dB to boost it to the user-specified gain of 0.0 dB, while clip one
also will be adjusted by +3 dB, boosting it to -3 dB, and preserving the gain offset between the two clips in the selection.
The default value is 0.0 dB. Users can set this to any value below 0.0 dB. For example, a user may want to allow
for headroom and set this to -3 dB. This normalization option adjusts the peak amplitude in the selected clips to the user-specified value.
For example, a single clip with a peak amplitude of -6 dB will have its gain adjusted by +6 dB if Normalize All Peaks To is set to 0.0 dB. For
a multiple-clip selection, each clip in the selection would have its gain adjusted by amounts necessary to boost them all to 0.0 dB.
Normalize the Master track
You can set the peak volume level for the master track of a sequence. Premiere Pro automatically adjusts the fader for the whole master track
upward or downward. The loudest sound in the track achieves the value specified. Premiere Pro scales any keyframes on the master track upward
or downward, in proportion to the adjustment made in overall volume.
Adobe Premiere Pro does not allow a volume adjustment that would raise the peak higher than 0 dB.
1. Select the sequence you want to normalize.
2. Select Sequence > Normalize Master Track.
3. In the Normalize Track dialog box, type an amplitude value in the dB field.
4. Click OK.
Adjust track volume with keyframes
You can adjust the volume level of a whole clip or track, or have the volume change over time using the rubber band in an audio track of a
Timeline panel.
1. Expand the audio track view by clicking the triangle next to the audio track name.
2. In the audio track header, click the Show Keyframes button , and choose one of the following from the menu:
Lets you animate audio effects for a clip, including Volume Level.
Lets you change only a clip’s Volume Level.
Lets you animate many audio track effects, including Volume, Mute, and Balance.
