Volume difference between editor and exported video

PostMon Mar 01, 2021 4:37 pm

Hello,

is there a reason why Resolve editor plays at very low volume compared to any video player when I export my video?

It may sound stupid but it makes things complicated to me, like adjusting my MIC volume :?

Yes. It’s there for your ear protection during loud sections of your edit, or watching an edit while talking with a client so you don’t have to make changes to your audio monitoring system just to hear each other.

I just tried again and it's closer but still louder on my video player at 100%.

EDIT: Maybe it's PotPlayer's issue because VLC sounds like DR at 100%.
