“synchronous” audio because it is recorded
simultaneously with the video track.
Overlay audio track: The original audio for video
clips on the overlay track.
Sound effect and voice-over track: Sound effects and
voice-overs are the typical content on 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 205).
Background music track: Use this track to include
mp3 or wav audio files, SmartSound background
music generated by Studio, and music (or other content)
from audio compact disks (CDs). Audio files are
imported via the Sound Effects section of the Album
(see page 54). Create SmartSound clips with the
SmartSound tool, and CD audio clips with the CD
audio tool (see “The SmartSound tool” on page 203
and “The CD audio tool” on page 201).
The Timeline audio tracks: original audio, sound
effect and voice-over, and background music. A
fourth audio track appears when the overlay track is
visible; it contains the original audio for video on
that track.
