Best way to boost video volume (up to 20x)?

Everything works fine when I test other videos. But the second I play this specific one and crank the volume to the max, I can barely hear a thing.

Because of that, I need a program that can actually boost the audio levels in this file.

I'm running Windows 7

Maybe try importing the clip into Moviemaker and see if you can crank up the audio stream in there, if that's even an option.

I suppose this covers everything you need: video ton Cleaning lab.

If you're using the Adobe Creative Cloud, you've got Soundbooth in your toolkit. Just a heads-up though—you really have to watch yourself when you start cranking up the volume on your audio tracks.

If your source audio is already pretty rough, pushing those levels too hard can cause some nasty clipping and popping through your speakers. It’s super annoying!

That’s why my golden rule is always: start with a solid, high-quality recording. I actually tried boosting some audio directly in Premiere Pro once, and man, after I finished the edit, I realized there's definitely a limit to how much you can fix it in post.

There’s this utility called Super that works quite well for this. You just hit "disable video" and pick whichever audio format you're after—personally, I’d suggest WAV if you want quality, though MP3 is better if you're trying to save some disk space. Once you've used Super to strip the audio from the video, you can feed them into your editing suite of choice, whether you're working in Premiere Pro, Edius, or Vegas.

Personally, I think pulling the audio out as an MP3 isn't a bad move at all—and hey, you can actually do that using FormatFactory, which is totally free!

Then, you could boost the volume using MP3 Gain (another freebie!), and finally, use the Direct Stream Copy mode in Virtualdub (also free!) to swap out the old audio track with your newly polished one.

Sure, you could technically merge everything back together using a standard video editor like MovieMaker, PowerDirector, or Corel VideoStudio... but here's the catch: those programs tend to re-encode the entire video file while they're at it. But with the Virtualdub method? You don't need to convert a single thing! You just check the box for "direct stream copy" under the video settings, and you're golden.
