How to Add Pro Audio Meters to iMovie for Mac

In this video I show you how to add professional-grade audio meters to iMovie, so you can monitor and control your audio levels like you can in more expensive, pro-level editing software, like Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro. First, I show you a professional, inexpensive setup, using a $5 (US) piece of software from the Mac App Store. After that I show you a free audio meter solution for iMovie.
