First post here and still a beginner at Premiere.

The last couple projects I have been exporting have had very quiet audio right after exporting. I have raised the audio and it sounds fine when it is in premiere. However, when I export the clip, the audio is very quiet and hard to hear.

My current settings for exporting are:

Format: H.264

Preset: Match Source - High bitrate

Summary

     Output: J:\Project Videos\News Clip\News Report MP4.mp4

     720x480 (0.9091), 30 fps, Progressive, Software Encoding, 00_

     VBR, 1 pass, Target 10.00 Mbps, Max 12.00 Mbps

     AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHs, Stereo

Could you upload a faulty clip to Creative Cloud and send us the link so we can hear it.

I'm just guessing.. but basically you have to look at the audio meter ( levels ) in the timeline and adjust to where those values are what you EXPECT to get from export.

Unfortunately, your computer, speakers, levels from OS, have influence on what you HEAR during edit. But the levels you SEE in editor should be very close to what you want for exported stuff ( and playback ).

There are levels suggested by people for playback. Broadcast people and so on. See if you can match that ( like max -6Db or whatever it is for the LOUDEST stuff ). There are people here who are experts at this sound stuff and will help you. I'm an idiot and just do basic stuff.
