Importing Audio Files
Many times, you will need to bring audio files—such as music, sound
effects, or recorded narration—into Media Composer. Although the pro-
cess is similar to an image import, you’ll find a few more choices to make
regarding audio gain and pan.
NOTE Many important
variables are found in
the Import Settings dia-
log box that determine
whether images and
video files are sized
and shaped correctly
and whether you have
accurate field order,
alpha channel, and
color mapping. You can
explore all of these set-
tings in the Avid Media
