normalize-loudness

To normalize audio loudness to a specific LUFS level for video production, this Skill applies ffmpeg's loudnorm filter using two-pass processing. This accurately measures and linearly adjusts audio files to target industry standards without dynamic distortion.

Audio normalization with ffmpeg's loudnorm filter does not cause dynamic distortion when using two-pass processing. This approach ensures accurate measurement and linear loudness normalization to the specified LUFS level, preserving audio dynamics.

You can use platform presets for loudness normalization across social, broadcast, and podcast platforms. This Skill supports predefined LUFS targets to ensure your audio files meet specific industry standards for consistent levels across various distribution channels.

You do need ffmpeg and ffprobe installed to normalize audio loudness to industry standards. Both dependencies are required for processing: ffmpeg applies the loudnorm filter while ffprobe performs the initial audio file analysis and measurement.

Two-pass loudnorm processing is a method that first measures audio loudness and then applies linear normalization to a target LUFS level. You need it for audio post-production to ensure accurate true-peak ceiling and LRA cap adjustments without distortion.

The best way to ensure consistent audio levels across multiple platforms is using automated loudness normalization with platform presets. This applies a true-peak ceiling and LRA cap to meet specific industry LUFS standards for social, broadcast, and podcast distribution.
