Music Video Playlist For Wedding - Audio Issue

The alternative, as you've discovered, is to delete the sountracks from the videos, and find 'better' versions of the music, and that mean unlinking stuff, deleting, and then putting new stuff in ( hopefully wav files converted in audition from your new source) and then hope the length of music matches length of video ( unlikely, and you'd have to sync it ) and then you'd STILL have to adjust the volumes for each video to match each other … typically this is somewhere around -6db as the LOUDEST you ever want to get cause that's like REALLY LOUD.

hehe..

oh, P.S.   exporting h264 should be fine.

I think at this point it's best to keep things sorta simple or it will get really time consuming for you and not very much fun.

I'm gonna pick apart this statement...

============

My fiancee and I are creating a music video playlist for our wedding reception. I downloaded the music videos, deleted their sound file and replaced them with mp3 files assuming these were better quality. We exported the whole playlist as a H.264 file. When we played back the file through a TV, we noticed some songs sounded crisper, louder and with a clear beat whilst others sounded slightly muted in comparison.

============

when you say a music video playlist, what exactly do you mean ??  Are you making a BD or DVD which has a menu of all the videos to choose from on the TV ?  How is the playlist used by you and guests at reception ?

Keep in mind, by the way, that people at the reception will be celebrating with you and wife and not really listening to the fine points of music 'fidelity' like a person at Avery Fischer Hall would be listening to a night of "Mozart".

If each music choice on TV is via a memory stick then you are exporting each video as separate videos ??

I, unfortunately, don't have the CC version (your version) of PPro, so I don't know if you can export a timeline making each clip a separate FILE when you export.  If using a memory stick in TV that's what I would do. Put the stuff into one timeline, and adjust the volume of each clip (video) to match the volumes, and just go with that.... otherwise you're looking at a ton of work and time and so on ???

the only comparison I have is this:

I bought music CD's, downloaded MP3 music from my library, and sometimes get free mp3 sound FX files from internet.  Except for the sound FX I put all the other stuff onto a memory stick (usb) that I use in my car.

So, I have the stuff on my computer ( I usually play with a decent blue tooth speaker or my home stereo ( also using Bluetooth )...and on the memory stick copied from computer.

At first I used audition to get the CD music, converted to wav, and adjusted volumes ( and sometimes bass / treble ) using the meters, so all of it would sound the same volume and bass, etc.  Then converted to mp3 for the final files for computer and car.

After a while I found this to be too much work because EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT and I got real tired of adjusting stuff etc. So now I just adjust the volume on the car radio to suit me.  Same on computer.  If you really want to make everything the same you have to go through the same stuff as I used to do.  Some of the mp3's you get will just sound bad no matter WHAT you do. Best to just toss them out and see if you can find a better version.
