Cutaway in iMovie 09 Issue

Hello!

I have been working on a wedding highlight and it is finished however, I recently learned about cutaway and thought it would be fun to add a film burn effect to some clips. I followed a tutorial on how to add those effects and it worked however, when I play the video, the audio of my voiceovers have been lowered (to the point where I can barely hear it). I have checked and moved the volumes in the inspector but nothing changes. The underlying music that plays through the film is fine. I've closed iMovie multiple times and even restarted my computer to see if that will help but nothing I have tried has worked. Where I downloaded the film burns from was the same place the tutorial had suggested.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you so much!

Sounds like "ducking" is turned on, and automatically lowers the audio of your voice so that the audio of the inserted clip can be heard. Just turn off ducking on the clip and you should be good to go.
