CHAPTER 8:
ADDING AUDIO AND
PICTURES
Audio Mode
As all amateur or seasoned video professionals know, the soundtrack of your movie
is incredibly important to set the mood and atmosphere of your movie. For exciting
scenes, a musical score with a fast beat will serve to outline the hastiness and
recklessness of the occasion. For tender moments, a beautifully scored song touching
on romance and playing with your emotions like a concert violinist will go a long
way in making your post-production a worthy undertaking.
Note: After you have modified your file in this mode, a red line will be displayed in the Modes
Wheel to indicate this.
1 Select a file from the Library by double-clicking on the selected file or dragging
it into the Preview Window. Refer to "Importing into the Library" on page 27 for
more information on importing.
2 To add audio to clips that have already been applied to the Storyboard, simply
select the particular clip by double-clicking and it will be displayed in the
Preview Window.
3 Click Audio Mode on the Modes Wheel.
Note: Whenever the mode switches from Preview to another mode for the first time, a dialog
box may appear to notify you that the file will be added to the Storyboard automatically
depending on your Preferences. Refer to "Preferences" on page 39 for more information.
4 If your original file or clip contains audio, it will be displayed in the uppermost
line.
