If you really want to level audio and video, you will need to use other software before importing the media into Storyline. 

It's not as labor intensive as you might think, you drag all videos into the tool (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name drop other non-authoring tools in here). You set a "LUFS" level for all of them (Loudness Units Full Scale, is a standard metric used to measure the perceived loudness of audio). And then you say "Run" which will convert all of them to the same perceived audio loudness in 10 seconds time. Then you import them into articulate and set "Compression" to "None" for each file, that way you are telling articulate to not do anything to your files.

    Thanks, Bob.  I get that it's not difficult.  I just think it's something that Storyline natively support.
