Chapter 11: Sound effects and music 205
When you have made your choice, click the Add to
Movie button. Studio creates the new clip on the
background music track beginning at the current time
index (as shown by the Timeline scrubber and the
preview frame in the Player).
The SmartSound button at the bottom right of the tool
opens a dialog with options and tools for maintaining
your SmartSound library.
The Voice-over tool
Recording a voice-over in Studio is as easy as
making a telephone call. Just open the Voice-
over tool, click Record and speak into the microphone.
You can narrate as you watch the movie play so your
words match the action on the screen. You can also use
the tool as a quick way of capturing ambient music or
home-made sound effects via your microphone.
Before you can record audio using the Voice-over tool,
you need to connect a microphone to the input jack of
your PC sound board. You must also have at least one
video clip in the Movie Window.
