Replacing the audio in a video file
Once you have edited all audio and MIDI data to the video
and created a final mix, you will need to put the new audio
back with the video. You can do this by embedding the
audio in another stream within the video container file.
To replace the audio stream in a video file, proceed as
follows:
1. Place the left locator at the start of the video file in Cu-
base. This will ensure that your audio and video streams
are synchronized.
2. Pull down the File menu and select the Audio Mixdown
option from the Export submenu to export the audio file
you wish to insert into the video container file (for detailed
information on this function, see the chapter
“Export Audio
Mixdown” on page 296).
3. From the File menu, select “Replace Audio in Video
File…”.
A file dialog opens prompting you to locate the video file.
4. Select the video file and click Open.
Next, you are prompted to locate the corresponding audio file.
5. Select the audio file and click Open.
The audio is added to the video file, replacing its current audio stream.
Once the process is completed, open the video file in a
native media player and check for proper synchronization.
