Operation Manual

64 Pinnacle Studio 9
• Overlay video and audio: In Studio Plus,
video and images placed on the overlay track
can be used with the Picture-in-picture and
Chroma key tools to give your video
productions a professional appearance. These
features are locked in other versions of Studio,
producing “watermarked” output when used. You
can upgrade to Studio Plus at any time if you need its
advanced capabilities. Original audio for overlay
video is stored on the linked audio track. See
Chapter 6: Two-track editing with Studio Plus for
details about the overlay track.
• Title and graphic overlays: Images placed on
the title track will be rendered as overlays
upon the main video, with transparent backgrounds.
See Chapter 8: Still images and Chapter 9: Disc
menus for more information.
• Sound effects and voice-overs: The audio
clips on this track are mixed with the original
audio track and the background music track to create
the final soundtrack for your movie. See Chapter 11:
Sound effects and music for full information.
• Background music: The background music
for your movies can be created to any desired
duration with the SmartSound tool (page 203) or
imported with the CD audio tool (page 201). Your
soundtrack can also make use of mp3 and other
music files (see page 197).
• Disc menus, chapter marks and return-to-
menu links: This is an extra track that appears
above the video track whenever the movie has at
least one disc menu. See Chapter 9: Disc menus for
information.
