Timeline
The progress of the slideshow in the movie is displayed horizontally above the tracks. To structure this
progression, the actual timeline is visible at the very top above the first track. The unit of measurement of
the timeline is milliseconds.
The range between the start and end markers in the timeline is played back as an endless loop.
Tracks
There are 4 tracks in total for loading, arranging, and editing media files via drag & drop or double-click
from the Media Pool:

The first track is for the photos, but videos can also be loaded.

The next track is for the audio track of videos and for the frames. Additional audio recordings
(so-called overdubs) are placed here (commentaries, for example).

The third track contains the titles (which can be created via the buttons "Text" in Storyboard
mode) and style elements. These can also be added via the MovieShow Maker.

The fourth track is for additional sound material, i.e. everything you may wish to add to your
photo via drag & drop from the Media Pool. Additional audio recordings (so-called overdubs)
are placed here (commentaries, for example).
Volume curves
Volume on tracks 2 and 4 can be automated. This is achieved using so-called volume curves.
A typical volume gradient for damping
background music during a spoken
commentary.

In context menu of tracks 2 or 4, select "Volume curves".

Double click the curve to set an automation point.

Two automation points are required for a simple volume curve (start and end points).

Curve points can be easily moved via drag & drop, during which the mouse cursor turns into a
cross.

An additional double click on an automation point deletes it.
Hint: During audio recording, volume curves can be automatically created if the Volume damping
("Ducking")
option is activated.
