Your video looks great. Then you play it back and the voice sounds... off. Not as full, not as clear, not as loud as the big channels. You turn the volume up, it gets worse. You don't know what to fix, and honestly, you shouldn't have to.

PowerEQ fixes it with one button, inside your editor. Play a few seconds of your video, press Analyze, done. Your voice comes out clean, clear and at the right loudness for YouTube. No audio knowledge needed. No exporting to other apps or websites.

Works in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. Everything runs on your Mac.

The worst part of editing isn't editing. It's the hour before: scrubbing raw footage, hunting the best takes, cutting the ums and the dead air.

PowerCut is your Assistant Editor that does that work in minutes, it's a standalone app on your Mac. It transcribes your footage FAST, strikes the bad takes and the silences, and gives you a rough cut you edit like a document, then hands it to Final Cut, Resolve or Premiere.

No Uploads. No Subscriptions. Secure All on your Mac.

I got tired of waiting for the tools out there to do what I needed so I built it.

I cracked it! Auto Ducking right in Final Cut Pro! No more exporting, No more round tripping, no more keyframing, no more range tool nonsense! Just apply and go! rafaelludwig.com/apps/powerduck/

This is for the early adopters!

I haven’t made a video about it yet, but it’s SUPER EASY to use - put one plugin on the dialogue, then a second plugin on the music, open the UI for music and set it to Music. Pretty much done. Tweak if you need to!

Bad voice audio ruins good video. PowerEQ fixes it in one click, right on your dialogue track in Final Cut, Resolve, or Premiere. It analyzes YOUR recording, detects the mic, levels every word, and keeps adapting as the clip plays. And because you guys have been asking, it now has a Channel EQ Function!

Holy Moly! I'm super excited about the next PowerEQ update! In the process of trying to solve a huge FCP bug, I stumbled on a new path that not only fix that but it opens up the plugin for DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro! (still Mac Only, but a windows version is also now possible!) 

NOT ONLY THAT!! Now the plugin is faster, more stable, and I can add in a realtime frequency Spectrum and Meters! Can't wait to share this with you all. It's going to a free update to everyone that purchased the plugin, and there will still be a 7 day free trail. FYI, this will be a whole new plugin, (it has to be, but the code is much cleaner) so any projects that you have used with the current plugin won't be affected.  

Thank you so much for the support and all the feedback, it's what is making this plugin and app that much better!

More soon! Happy 4th of July! Freedom Fries!

So what do you think of the 12.3 Final Cut Pro Update? Have you used and like it?

New video is up!
I built a little plugin for anyone who's ever spent way too long fixing voice audio in Final Cut Pro. It's called PowerEQ — add it to a clip, hit Analyze, pick a preset, and your dialogue instantly sounds cleaner, fuller, and more consistent. No mixing experience needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCJDn...

Runs right in your timeline (also works in Logic & GarageBand), and there's a free trial if you want to throw your worst-sounding clip at it.

What eats the most of your editing time — the audio or the edit itself? 👇

I hated working with dialogue audio, so I made a ONE-CLICK solution ⚡️EQ Studio.
And if you ever hated working with Audio, you'll love this! https://youtu.be/Kr_RZtaJsT8

You drop in a clip (audio or video), pick a vibe, YouTube, Podcast, Radio DJ, and it sorts out the levels, clears the muddiness, and softens the harsh/essy bits for you. There's noise cleanup for rooms that weren't built for recording, and if you used a couple different mics it can match them so things don't jump around.
It's been saving me a bunch of time, so I figured I'd put it out there. On-device, and there's a free trial if you want to throw a rough clip at it.

Curious what trips you up most with dialogue audio?
