 Yo, yo, what's up guys, this is Chris Pike. My friends call me Big C. I'm back in action today. We're continuing our series where I teach you how to be the best video editor you know for free using free software and free tutorials. Freedom, we got this. This is the Big C show. In this video, I'm going to show you how to increase or decrease the volume of your audio, whether it's gameplay, whether it's you recording yourself on Discord, maybe you've got gameplay footage, maybe you've got some cell phone footage, whatever it is, show you two ways to do it real, real quick. The first way here is I've gone ahead and I've loaded in some footage. This is a Mr. Beast video because, well, yeah, he's pretty loud, that guy. So there we go. We've got him popped up. Now, as you'll see here, we've got a video track and an audio track. For the audio track, here's the first way and the simplest way. You just want to hover over the audio track and you see that white line? All you got to do is when you get the double headed arrow is you can just scroll over it or hover over it and you'll see here that I'm increasing and decreasing the volume. How do I know that? Because you'll see there it says minus 14.67. That means it's minus 14.67 decibels. If the footage you've got is too quiet because maybe you were recording audio and the person was too far away and you didn't have a shotgun microphone, for example, you can just move this line up and as I do that, you'll see that it's gone up 9.33 decibels. So this is the first and the easiest way. The second way is you can just click on the audio track like this. Let's just go ahead and click on it and then we're going to go over here to control. So I've clicked on the audio track and over to controls and you can also manually adjust it here. So here I am reducing it manually or increasing it. Now, here's the second technique I'm going to show you is let's say there's a part of the video that's just way too loud or way too quiet. What you can do is that I'm going to say like this part here, when he's walking outside, this is too quiet compared to the rest of video as an example. Go over here to the left side and select this slicing tool. I'm going to slice it right here on the playhead and then I'm going to say when he's outside, okay, before Rosanna, so to right here, I'm going to slice this part, watch. So I've got the slicing tool selected again and I'm going to cut it. Now, I'm going to zoom in here like this and as I zoom in, you're going to see that there's a small section of the video. This piece here is too quiet comparatively, so relative to the rest. So I'm going to go back, I'm going to select the regular selection tool. I'm going to click on the audio and this is too quiet. So here I'm just going to go over again to the controls panel and increase this. So I'm going to increase it a lot and you'll see here that the white line's gone up relative to the other pieces on the outside. So what have I done? I've got regular footage. This was too quiet, so I increased the volume and you'll see here that it's blowing out here. But again, this is just a demonstration and then it goes back to regular. This is how you can adjust the volume of your footage and your clips, including pieces that are too long or too short in just a few seconds for free inside HitFilm Express. Thanks for watching guys. Time for stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
