Adjusting Volume in the Video Track:

- Tap the Volume icon in the toolbar.
- Drag the slider to increase or decrease the loudness as needed. You can amplify quiet audio, tone down loud sounds, or mute the audio entirely.
Separating Audio for Precise Edits:

When to Use Volume Adjustments #
Balancing Background Music: Lower the volume of background tracks so they don’t overpower dialogue or sound effects.
Enhancing Key Sounds: Increase the volume of important audio, like voiceovers or environmental sounds, to emphasize key moments.
Creating Silent Moments: Mute audio in specific sections to create dramatic pauses or transitions.
Pro Tips for Better Audio Control #
Combine Volume Edits with Keyframes: For dynamic changes, use keyframes to gradually increase or decrease the volume over time, such as fading in background music or fading out sound effects.Monitor Levels: Use headphones or quality speakers to ensure the audio levels are clear and balanced across different devices.
