Thank you Tony :

Background:
I have a PowerDirector project in which I have combined multiple recordings of people singing the same song. I have edited it so that you hear one person singing a line of the song, then another person singing the next line, etc. and in the chorus they're all combined together as if they're singing as a group.
Question:
Some recordings (audio tracks) are louder than others; what's the best way to equalise them?

I work in an international environment, covering both PAL and NTSC video format regions. This means I need to be able to do the following:
- Combine and edit video segments that were recorded in PAL with video segments that were recorded in NTSC .
- Produce video to be used in both PAL and NTSC formats.
I have heard that converting PAL to NTSC (or visa versa), results in quality loss, and PowerDirector also warns of quality loss when inserting NTSC video into a PAL project. And yet, no matter what video format a project is set to, on the Produce tab the Profile name/Quality you can choose to produce it in either PAL or NTSC.
The movie industry produces and distributes films internationally in both PAL and NTSC, and I can't imagine that they shoot, edit, and produce every film twice (once in PAL and once in NTSC).
So is this quality loss thing not as big of an issue as it is made out to be, or is there some other procedure to achieve the desired results?

I have a project which consists of multiple video segments, separated by still images. I have used the cross-over Fade transition effect to transtion to and from the still images.
Everything works fine when playing the movie in the editor. However, when playing the produced (.AVI or .WMV) file, some of the video segments are frozen at their first frame. The audio track plays on, and the following video segment(s) are fine.
I have uploaded the 5 minute movie to YouTube so you can see what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q2MLjlKdNI
Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
