Add Audio Clips

Using audio clips allows you to add background music or a

narrative voice-over to your movie. PowerDirector provides two

tracks for audio media (the Music and Voice tracks), which you

can use interchangeably.

Note: Audio files can only be added to the workspace in

Timeline view. If you drag an audio file to the

workspace in Storyboard view, the workspace

automatically switches to Timeline view.

To add an audio clip to the workspace, do this:

1. Click to open the Media Room in the Library.

2. Select Audio or All Media from the Filter drop-down list.

3. Select an audio clip, then add it to the workspace. You may

do this in one of the following ways:

• Click to add the audio clip to the Voice track or

to add the audio clip to the Music track.

• Drag one or more audio clips to a desired position in the

Voice or Music track. Audio clips can be added at any

point in this track.

Move a Clip in the Workspace

Once a clip has been added to the workspace, you can drag it to a

different location on the track it is currently located in. However,

you cannot drag clips between tracks.

Note: You may find moving media clips easier in Storyboard

view, especially if the clip has an extremely short

duration, or if you need to move it a relatively long

distance over the workspace.
