To Specify The Gain Level For A Clip; To Adjust The Volume In The Timeline Panel - Adobe PREMIERE PRO 2 Manual

You control track levels in the Audio Mixer or the Timeline panel. Although you control track levels primarily
through the Audio Mixer, you can also do so using audio track keyframes in the Timeline panel. Because track
keyframes represent mixer automation settings, they affect output only when automation is set to Read, Touch, or
Latch.

To specify the gain level for a clip

Do one of the following:
1
•
If you want to adjust the gain of a master clip so that all instances of the clip added to the Timeline panel have the
same gain level, select the master clip in the Project panel.
•
If you want to adjust the gain of just one instance of a master clip already in a sequence, select the clip in the
Timeline panel.
Choose Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain.

3 Do one of the following, and then click OK:
•
Enter a Gain value. (0.0 dB equals the clip's original gain.)
•
Click Normalize to optimize a clip's audio gain automatically. Adobe Premiere Pro examines levels in the clip. It
then determines how much to adjust the audio so that the strongest signals in the clip don't exceed the ceiling level
(0dB) and create distortion. The displayed value indicates the amount of gain Adobe Premiere Pro automatically
applied.
