title: levels
---

`levels` displays individual "edit method" stream values before the threshold procedure (if any) is applied. It mainly exists to be used by other programs so they can build on auto-editor's media analysis.

Because typical levels output is so long, it won't be displayed verbatim.

levels uses `--edit` to determine what is being analyzed, which by default is `audio`.
