This article describes a three stroke approach to improve sound from camcorders. The first step is to reduce the noise. In the following steps the dialog loudness is set to a standard level and the dynamic range is reduced.

By exporting to Lagarith Lossless, Premiere is used for what it is good at: render video and the transcodng is left to free tools. «read more»
This guide describes an nearly free frame accurate solution to edit video from the Canon Vixia HF10/HF11/HF100 camcorder in Adobe Premiere Pro 3.2 (CS3). It builds on the assumptions listed below.

The solution described in this guide involves a substantial number of steps. «read more»
