To increase the volume of a clip in OpenShot, right-click the clip on the timeline and select "Volume" then choose the desired volume adjustment option.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Locate the Clip: Find the video clip on the OpenShot timeline that you want to adjust the volume for.
-
Right-Click: Right-click directly on the video clip. This will open a context menu.
-
Select "Volume": In the context menu, find and select the "Volume" option. Hovering over "Volume" will reveal a sub-menu.
-
Choose Volume Adjustment: This sub-menu provides several volume adjustment options, including:
- Entire Clip: This allows you to adjust the volume for the entire clip. Choose a preset like:
- Original Sound: Returns the clip to its original volume.
- 25%: Reduces the volume to 25% of the original.
- 50%: Reduces the volume to 50% of the original.
- 100%: Sets the volume to 100% (original).
- 200%: Doubles the volume (100% increase).
- 400%: Quadruples the volume (300% increase).
- Start of Clip: Fades the volume in at the beginning of the clip.
- End of Clip: Fades the volume out at the end of the clip.
- Entire Clip (Advanced): This allows for more granular control through keyframes and volume envelopes. (This option offers the highest degree of control.)
- Entire Clip: This allows you to adjust the volume for the entire clip. Choose a preset like:
-
Select Your Adjustment: Click the desired volume adjustment. For a simple increase, select "Entire Clip" and then choose a percentage higher than 100% (e.g., 200% or 400%).
-
Listen and Adjust: After applying the adjustment, play back the video to check the volume level. If it's still too quiet or too loud, repeat the steps above to further fine-tune the audio. The "Entire Clip (Advanced)" option provides even greater precision for complex audio adjustments, letting you create custom volume curves over time.
