DITOR

The Music Track is a second audio track for your video project (the

first audio track is the audio track connected to your video files, if

any). It is often used for inserting background music for your videos,

hence the name. Any MPEG (.mpa, .mp3) or WAVE (.wav) files,

including MP3, can be used in the Music Track. To insert an audio

clip, just drag one in from the Media Manager. Audio clips can be

placed anywhere in the Music Track.

Voice-over Track

The Voice-over Track is the third optional audio track of your video

project. It is primarily intended for adding voice-overs, though it

will accept any MPEG (.mpa, .mp3) or WAVE (.wav) files. It

functions exactly like the Music track, with one exception. When

you click the Video Editor’s Record button, you can record a new

audio clip with your computer’s microphone or from an audio CD

or other audio source, and the resulting clip is automatically placed

in the Voice-over Track. Audio clips can be placed anywhere in the

Voice-over Track.

Clip Placement

MovieStar’s Video Editor is designed to make video editing as easy
