Using SmartSound
Included with Adobe Premiere Elements is the SmartSound® Quicktracks® plug-in. Use SmartSound Quicktracks
to select from among a large collection of soundtracks for your video project. Then use SmartSound tools to
customize the length of the soundtrack so that it corresponds exactly with the length of your movie.
To use SmartSound Quicktracks on your video project, select SmartSound from the Audio Tools menu in Timeline,
and follow the prompts.
To add a SmartSound soundtrack:
1. Open an Adobe Premiere Elements project, click the
Edit tab in the Tasks panel.
2. In the My Project panel, click Timeline.
3. Select SmartSound from the Audio Tools menu on the
Timeline (Figure 6).
Note: First use of SmartSounds may require registration.
