I am wrapping up a new video. After importing a .WAV file that sounds great in itunes and Audacity where it was edited, Videopad changes the amplitude and distorts the sound. I tried exporting from audacity as WAV (at 32 bit, 16 bit, and 16 bit, 22 khz). Videopad is the only software distorting it right now. Any ideas?

So should I record in mpeg4 in the future? Is that more stable? Or, should I try converting these MOV. files to MPEG4? Thanks.

Ok, here are the links to my .MOV file and .WAV file. Since they both begin at the 3:20 mark I am unsure what's creating the problem. I recorded every file in the project using a DSLR camera (video/audio) and a separate pair of mics. However, this is the only .MOV file from the camera where the audio was turned off on the camera before recording. I don't know why that would effect the files, but it's the only difference I can think of besides the aforementioned audio level discrepancy. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8ruil6gn4j05hu/DSC_0002.MOV?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/mtaasbn650o8315/Gigout Relay 2.mov?dl=0 Thanks!

Yeah, my project is waaaaay to big (dropbox was going to take 2 days to upload). Would it help just to post the .MOV file from the sequence that I believe is creating the problem? Lossless export consistently fails when it reaches the 3:20 min. mark. The new clip that begins at that time was recorded by itself at a separate time and doesn't sound exactly like the others. Would you be able to tell what the problem is just by looking at the clip?

What's a test file? Can I just save the entire project in dropbox and post the link?

No, I just reset the clip to 0.0db and it still failed exporting. This is a music video and needs lossless export.

Ok, I have a few questions... Does this mean my video camera must record to mp4? I have recorded everything in .mov format. In this case, does this mean I have to export as .mov (since that's what the original file is)? It seems that would not allow me to export lossless. I think this one may be the problem actually... the clip it gets caught up on was raised 12db to match the rest. Should I change this back? Would that fix the problem?

How do I determine which clip is preventing lossless export? And how do I fix?
