Sound track on recorded screen video too loud
Jul 22, 2015
Hello, heroes.
I have recorded a screen with narration, but when I play it back, the audio is way too loud. I tried editing the video (right click on the embedded file) and selected Volume, and dropped the volume 40%. Then I clicked SAVE.
From what I understand, the volume change will not take place until the file is published. Well, I just did that and the playback is still too loud. In fact, I cannot hear any difference in the audio level after the edit.
Am I doing something wrong? To me, the video (and audio) editor settings for volume leave a lot to be desired.

Hi, Richard -- So sorry to hear the volume is playing too loud for you. I wanted to share this thread (although it was posting by someone having issues with volume being too LOW), and see if any of the suggestions there might be of assistance to you.
If issues persist, you are welcome to share your .story file here and we will gladly take a look for you, or your may submit your file privately for review using this form.
I am trying to drain a swamp today, so will try the ideas in the thread in the next day or two and let you know. Thanks for the lead!
Oh my goodness, Richard! Sounds like you have your hands full, for sure! Thanks for the update and please just let us know what you can when you are ready. :)
I think I found it. I just noticed, for the first time I guess, that when I have a video slide, a Video Options tab appears. I clicked it, found the Volume settings, and set the volume to Low. It works fine now.
Now I have to be sure that it works on my client's computers too!
Awesome, Richard -- glad you sorted it out, and thanks so much for the update! Best of luck with your project. :)
