Sound for Long Fiction project in Premiere CS4?

[homerbert1]

Hi everyone,

I have a feature film edited in Premiere Pro CS4. It's 70 scenes, split into 7 projects, each with 10 scenes, in premiere. I'm not at the mastering and sound mixing stage yet, but i'm sending out roughtcuts to local investors. I'm putting each of the ten completed scenes in each project into a single timeline and rendering that as a HD wmv. That leaves me with ten wmvs that I'm turning into a DVD using Encore CS4.

The problem is that the sound levels are a mess. Individually scenes are fine, but accross the whole project you need to keep turning the volume up and down. Is there a normaliser that I can use without messing up the balance of audio within each scene? Is it better to do in Premiere or Encore?

Thanks everyone for their time.

Watch the levels and do it by hand. If it's balanced, but either too loud or quiet at different points you can export all the audio as single master tracks and adjust as needed.

Also, why are encoding WMV's? Not really the best choice.
