Audio Postproduction
The clip generated using the Voice-Over function is saved in the Capture directory of the
destination volume for this Project (for example, "R:\Start-PAL..."). This directory is gen-
erated only when clips are digitized (Batch Digitize or Logging Tool), meaning that mate-
rial must already have been digitized previously in this Project.
Regardless of whether you generated mono or stereo files for the Voice-Over, only one clip
is inserted in the Timeline (naturally, for stereo a stereo clip is saved). The Edit Style is not
taken into account for Voice-Over; the clip is always inserted in Overwrite Style.
Requirements
This function requires that your PC have an operational sound card. The microphone is con-
nected to the sound card and the input level (volume) is controlled by means of the sound card
settings. You can set the file format (48 or 44.1 kHz, Stereo or Mono) in Pinnacle Liquid under
Control Panel > User > Audio Settings (
page 11-51). However, these settings are dependent on
the options available for your sound card.
Because the Voice-Over button is not a standard part of the toolbar, you must transfer it from the
function library to the toolbar (
page 16-8). You will find the icon (a microphone) on the Mixer
tab.
Procedure for a Voice-Over Session
1 Open the Audio Editor and set a mark-in as the starting point for recording. You can also
set a mark-out. If you do not set a mark-out, the Voice-Over function continues running
until you stop it.
The Voice Over clip will be inserted in the first (from left to right) Tr a c k marked active for
Audio Mix Automation. That‘s the small red rectangle at the bottom of the Fader. Fader
units and Timeline Tracks correspond to each other.
