I walk into work today and they're asking me to take an .avi video clip and make all the sound "flat". Right now the levels go up and down with each clip and obviously it sounds like crap. One problem, just because I have a computer doesn't mean I know how to edit video (they really have trouble grasping this fact).

Is there a way to do this in iMovie or is there another app that could do this for me?

Thanks in advance, I'm in a real bind here (presentation in about 1.5 hours).

The problem is that iMovie doesn't do .avi

So you need to convert to QuickTime or whatever, first.

Do you have Cleaner?

OK, I have it as a quicktime.

Just drag it into iMovie, into the clip boxes on the right-hand side.

When it's done importing, drag that clip down into the timeline.

In the timeline at the bottom, click "edit audio".

Then you get an additional view with a line representing volume level.

You can then click on that line to create or remove anchor points, which you can drag up and down to adjust the volume.

When you're done, go into the File menu and export as whatever format befits you.

It really is that simple.

Did everything work okay?

What did you use to convert the .avis?

What format did you use to export is from iMovie?

Was it to be used for a 1024x768 projector?

'Cuz that's what I've been preparing/instructing at a small office for lectures and presentations, and I'm rather new at it myself.
