The Timeline audio tracks
The Movie Window’s Timeline view contains three
tracks for audio:
Original Audio track: This contains the audio
captured along with your video clips, which is
sometimes called synchronous audio because it is
synchronous with the video track.
Sound Effect/Voice-over track: Sound effects and
voice-overs are the typical content of this track. Sound
effects are brought into your project from the Sound
Effects section of the Album (see “The Sound Effects
Section” on page 54). Voice-overs are created with the
Voice-over tool (described on page 121).
Background Music track: Use this track to include
SmartSound background music generated by Studio
and music (or other content) from audio compact disks
(CDs). Create SmartSound clips with the SmartSound
tool, and CD audio clips with the CD audio tool (see
“The SmartSound tool” on page 119 and “The CD
audio tool” on page 117).
