Reading audio levels

[actionman133]

Hey,

I'm interested in finding out what the decibel levels are for certain parts of video and having them subtitled. As far as I know, no plugin exists, but it would be useful.

The only other way is to load up the bulky Premiere Pro and conform the audio of an AVISynth script... very much a timewaster.

Anyone looking for a mini-project to get their hands busy these holidays?

Thanks

Thats a nice idea - but I'm not a programmer. If it showed Audio levels in db and optionally with a level meter it would nicely complement with the available FrameNumber() / ShowSMPTE() for editing.

The Histogram filter has an audio mode, but it does not show the actual Db numbers, only a graphical representation.

It is usefull for synching effects with sounds... but not quantified properly.

I would very much like to see a filter that shows peaks over an image, with DB levels clearly marked.

Have you tried the audiograph plugin?

eg:

Loadplugin("audgraph.dll")

avisource("some.avi")

audiograph(last,2)

Will that give me decibel readings? By the look of it, I don't think it does, but I'll check it out...
