A great video usually includes great audio to complete or enhance  its message.  In fact, good video is often easier to capture than audio.  And when it comes to editing, its not unusual to spend more time getting the audio right than the video.    

I’d say that capturing audio when you’re dealing with multiple camera’s, multiple audio tracks from multiple microphones, and of course… multiple speakers is probably the number one source of stress for videographers.  Podcasters have the same issues.    On screen or on mic talent will do the darnest things…  they will walk away from their mic while continuing their talk,  they will actually turn off their mic,  they will adjust their clothing and coverup their body mic, they will take questions from the audience and anwser without first repeating the question, and a lot more. 

Until now, the cure for all of that was a lot of edit time with often expensive and complex tools.   Let me introduce the Levelator.  It adjusts the audio levels in your audio file  for variations from one speaker to the next.  And no, its not just another compressor, normalizer, or limiter even thought it contains all three.   Most people won’t care how it performs its magic … just that it does its work quickly and cleanly.
If you do care, here’s a link to tech details.

To use the Levelator, just drag any WAV or AIFF file onto the application window and in a few moments, you’ll have get a new file that sounds much better than the old one.   By the way, this is a free tool!  Works with Windows, OS/X,  and Linux.

The Levelator was developed by the engineering staff at the Conversations Network which is a listener-supported non-profit podcast network brought to you by a global team of passionate audio/video producers and editors.  They have multiple channels …. IT conversations, their original channel, is now the longest-running podcast on the planet.   Their site and content is well worth a visit.

The last in the series of “Video Boss” training videos is now posted.   You may wonder why I’ve been pounding the table in favor of the “Video Boss” series since its clear that this is a product launch of a new training series. 

Two things:  First, I think video is rapidly becoming (if it hasn’t already) the prime marketing technique on the internet.  It simply works better than anything else for all types of products and services. 

Second, the first three videos in this series are not only the best example of the wide variety of things that can be done with a quality video but its also one of the best video training tools we’ve seen on web in some time.  It covers the basics in a fun, informative way, that leaves you wanting more. 

Don’t just take my word for it.  Very video has made it to the Alexa Top 10 Hot Pages … meaning its getting massive buzz.

So, if you haven’t taken a moment to view these videos … do so now .. as the product launches today at 4pm Eastern.  I don’t know how long the first 3 videos will be up.  Here’s the Link.

Today, I watched a video about video (twice) that’s so hot it hit number 3 in Alexa Hot URLS.  If you have an internet presence in any way, then you need to take a look.  This will influence your thinking.

I followed up with the producer and learned that this is the first of four videos.  The first three are all content about how to produce super quality videos (with tools most of us already have).    The fourth is the sales pitch for a new video product.   If you want to see the future of  video on the internet and learn how it might affect your marketing and sales … click here and watch.     I’d like to hear your comments.

Most internet videos are presented using Flash and the vast maj0rity are uploaded to the web with little thought about optimizing Flash settings to provide a better viewing experience.  Its quite common to see quality content streamed with less that optimum settings based on the video size, aspect ratio, and motion features.    Adobe Flash expert, Robert Reinhardt, has designed a bitrate calculator that calculates the appropriate bitrate for both audio and video.    You’ll find this great video tool here at the Adobe Site.
