Quote: I brought this up before and one of the suggestions was to transfer those clips whose audio was to be changed to a different time line in toto. The transfer works well, but highlighting the transferred clips and using the normalize feature still does not allow me to adjust ALL clips to a level of my choice. The "normalize" level seems to be fixed. Any work arounds?

Here's what NORMALIZE does...
"· if there is more than one audio clip on the voice or music track, or on any of the audio tracks, click the Normalize* button to have CyberLink PowerDirector set the volume for all the clips to the same level." (Or close to it, by my experimentation.)

If your intent is to level all clips at 100%, as many audio editors can, doing it manually (press F9) is an alternative.

You might request this functionality in a note to Cyberlink.

Normalize the PD really does not work the way it should be in my opinion.
It does not adjust the volume of audio to a standard.
It adjusts for average value between the various clips in audio track selected.
I use WaveEditor for volume adjustment for each clip, the graph peaks I have a reading but need the volume I want. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3

Agreed. True "normalize" should be on the Cyberlink PD wish list.
Perhaps the current behavior should be relabeled "leveling."

Agree with all as well.
The camera does a pretty good job of providing a more or less constant audio level. Normalize would be more useful if its output level could be adjusted.

I would like to place a post entitled " it would be nice to have" and to list some features that are missing like a simple VU meter etc. I fear that it would be deleted in no time at all.

Just made a 45 min 1920x1080 60P video of a cruise we took with our neighbors. Had the PD crash twice in the produce mode. The cure for that was to reboot the computer and PD11. Will do that from now on.

Otherwise I ham pretty content with the software, my first item of importance is video quality and it does that very well.
