Sound quality of exported video much reduced

[barrydhill]

Hi
I am exporting a music concert video as a mov file in Adobe Premier Pro CC.  Sound has some eq from a plugin.

I am noticing that the sound quality when played back after exporting is about 75% as clear as the original when listened to in the timeline?  There is also loss of overal gain?

Can any one suggest, perhaps my export summary settings above may help, why the audio is nowhere near as good as the original when exported?

thanks

Your source for the export is Mono, switch your export settings to Mono as well:

Then do a test export of a small portion of the timeline and see if the improves the audio on the export.

You should also match the sampling rate of your timeline and export, namely 44.1 kHz.

Hi there

Thanks for your help here.

I have tried that, but no difference in overall quality.  What I am noticing is that the volume of the exported audio is about 50% of the timeline audio?

How are you reaching that conclusion?

HI Jim

Through headphones really.  If I listen to the soundtrack in Adobe Premier my headphones are loud enough with the volume at about midnight.  After export, if I play the video then the soundtrack requires turning the headphone volume to nearly full to get the same as in AP.

I have some Nimbus EQ VST's on the tracks in AP, but my impression is that the EQ is not active on the exported soundtrack.  This seems to be contributing to the overall loss of 'oomph' which the AP track has?

Better to see the waveform or a meter than to use your ears on this one.

I was having the same issue with a mix-down from a recording studio, mono and stereo were missing the depth and clarity.

I made the export 5.1 and it dramatically improved the export!

Hope this helps!
