audio on export in Premiere Pro

[stevem55119]

When I export my movie in premiere pro, I have the audio all peaking at around -12db, and it sounds good. Upon export the audio is much louder and slightly distorted, even when I turn the volume down.

Hi Steve,

I have two questions:

1. What are you using to play the video outside of Premiere?
2. How does the audio sound if you import the exported file back into Premiere and play it there?

Cheers,
Paul
