Better Workflow for Normalizing Sequences

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anybody can help us with a way to speed up our workflow process.

We work in an environment with footage primarily from video tapes.

Once ingested, we typically normalize the audio before outputting each tape to it's own individual file.

This typically consists of the following:

- Create a sequence based on the captured video

- Edit the video to remove the unnecessary empty space in front and back

- Normalize max peak to -1

However, normalizing the audio clip is very time consuming as you have to wait for Premiere to finish building peaks before you can move onto the next video clip.

Is there a workflow where we can normalize the sequences instead?

I've been told to normalize the video clips in the project before putting into a sequence, but this takes a sum of all the clips as opposed to each individual clip itself.

I've tested this out and since our audio varies wildly, this does not produce results similar to normalizing one by one.

Would love any suggestions on how to mechanize this process further.

Thanks,

Cristian
