4 min read

As an experienced video editor, you probably know that even the slightest detail, like low volume, can totally ruin the overall impression of the video created. In addition, this problem may significantly affect the engagement rates and interactivity of the content created, making most of the viewers click the “close” button and search for better content to review. That is why, regardless of what type of video you’re creating, ensuring it encompasses a wide range of volume is of the essence. 

But, what if this problem is identified on the final preview stages when your video is ready to go live? No worries, the solution is already here!

In this guide, we’ll introduce several software options that can help you to increase volume in any video and audio with no loss in time or quality!

Option 1. Movavi Video Editor Plus

Among the variety of popular video editing tools, this professional software has a great feature called video volume booster, which allows you to adjust the volume of your movie and immediately save it in any popular format. Here are 5 simple steps for increasing your video volume through Movavi video editor:

  • Install Movavi sound enhancer
  • Start the volume editor and add files that require editing
  • Select the added file and click “Clip Properties” with a cogwheel icon
  • In the “Video tab” of the app, adjust the volume setting to make the video louder. 
  • Export your video in the desired format and you are all set!

Movavi video editor is available for both macOS and Windows, which makes it an attractive and pretty convenient option for both novices and professional editors.

Option 2. VLC Player

A popular, open-source cross-platform video player you’ve definitely heard of before. In fact, it might help with increasing the volume in your video too! To increase the volume in your video our audio file, you should:

  • Start the VLC player and press “Tools” on the menu bar 
  • Select “Preferences” (or simply use the shortcut key Ctrl+P)
  • Click “All” under “Show Settings” in the lower-left corner and type “maximum volume displayed” in the search bar on the top left side. 
  • Type 300 in the box and re-launch VLC to be able to boost the volume by 300%.

But, unlike the previous option, it’s not a permanent way for changing the volume of your original video or audio files: on another media player, it’ll be still played with low volume!

Option 3. iMovie

For macOS users, there’s also an option of volume increasing through the iMovie video editor. To be able to do so, you need to complete 3 easy steps:

  • Start iMovie
  • Upload the clip required and click the “Audio Adjustments” button
  • Drag the volume slider to the level you want and tap “Done”

Alternatively, there’s the option of Normalizing Volume located under the same window. It allows setting the volume of your clips according to the volume level you prefer, without distortion. 

However, again, this method is only available for Apple users solely. 

Option 4. Online Video Editor

For those who prefer using online editing methods, the next option will be a thing. This application allows you to effortlessly adjust video within just a few minutes. The only things you need to do are:

  • Upload the video from your computer, cloud storage, or through the URL, using the Open file button

  • Check the result
  • Set up the video format and export your updated video

Keep in mind that the final file can be saved in one of 3 formats: MP4, MKV, and MOV. So, if you need the final video to be formatted differently, you’ll probably need to use a converter.
