Importing Media

Chapter 3:

You can import both audio and video files from your hard drive or from a

removable device, into CyberLink AudioDirector. You can also record your own

custom audio, or download sound clips from DirectorZone directly into the library.

Note: when media is imported into the library, CyberLink AudioDirector creates a

temp working file for each file. It uses the file to log the edits and changes you want

to make to the original files. The changes are not applied to the original file, as you

must produce the audio and output it as a new file to apply them.

Importing Audio and Video Files

To import audio or video from your hard drive or a removable device, click ,

browse to its location, and then click on Open. You can import multiple files into

the library at once and then work on them all in CyberLink AudioDirector.

When importing video files you must make sure that Video files is selected from the

format type drop-down so that the files you are trying to import are visible.

Once imported, use the playback controls to preview both the audio and video.

See Playback Controls for more information.
