Per-Clip Volume Control: Mute, Boost and Balance Audio

Every clip on your timeline has its own volume slider. This controls how loud the clip's original audio plays in the final export. Adjusting individual clip volumes lets you balance different recordings, mute clips you're using as visual B-roll, or boost a quiet speaker.

Adjusting Clip Volume

1

Select a clip

Tap the clip on the timeline to select it and reveal the clip toolbar.

2

Open audio settings

Tap the audio/volume icon in the clip toolbar to reveal audio controls.

3

Drag the volume slider

Slide to adjust the clip's audio level. The default is 1.0 (full volume). Drag left to reduce, right to boost.

Common Uses

  • Mute B-roll — set volume to 0 for clips you're using as visual filler over music. The clip's own audio disappears, and only the background music track plays.
  • Balance speakers — if one clip was recorded louder than another, lower the loud clip or boost the quiet one so the volume feels consistent across your timeline.
  • Emphasize moments — slightly boost the volume of a key quote or dramatic moment to make it stand out.
Clip volume vs. music volume. Clip volume controls the clip's own audio (speech, ambient sound). The music track has a separate volume control in the music panel. These two levels are mixed together during export.

Music Track Volume

The background music track has its own global volume slider, accessible from the music panel (tap the music note icon). This sets the base level for the music across the entire timeline. Individual clips can further reduce the music level using music ducking.

Mixing Tips

  • Keep speech clips around 1.0 and use voice enhancement to improve clarity rather than cranking volume
  • Set music to 30-50% as a starting point, then adjust by ear
  • Preview the full timeline to check that volume levels feel consistent from clip to clip
