• Control-click in the Audio list, choose Import Audio, locate and select an audio file, then
click Import.
The audio file is added to the project and appears in the Audio Timeline, Audio list, mini-
Timeline, and Media list (but does not appear in the Layers list).
Important: Audio tracks from files with more than two tracks of audio (such as 5.1
surround audio) are imported as individual audio objects.
Add an audio file from Music
1. In the Library in Motion, select Music, then select Music (or a playlist) in the sidebar to
the right.
Note: If your Mac’s operating system is macOS 10.14, the Music category in the Motion
Library is labeled iTunes.
2. Select a song in the file stack.
3. Do one of the following:
• In the preview area, click Apply.
• Drag the file from the stack to the Layers list, canvas, Timeline, Audio Timeline, or
Audio list.
Note: Rights-protected AAC files cannot be imported into Motion and do not appear in
the file stack.
The audio file is added to the project and appears in the Audio Timeline, Audio list, mini-
Timeline, and Media list (but does not appear in the Layers list).
Add an audio file to a project for later use
You can also add an audio file to your project without having it appear in the composition.
For example, you might want to archive an audio file for later use. You do this by dragging
the file into the Media list.
1. In Motion, click Media in the Project pane to open the Media list.
2. Drag an audio file from the Finder or Import dialog into the Media list.
The audio file is added to the Media list, but not to the Audio Timeline or Audio list. If you
later decide to add the file to the active composition, drag its row from the Media list to the
canvas, Timeline, or Audio Timeline.
Add only the audio from a QuickTime movie
When you add a QuickTime movie to your project, the movie’s video and audio tracks
are both imported. If you don’t need the video, you can add only the audio track to
your project.
• In Motion, drag a QuickTime movie file from the Finder into the Audio list.
The audio track from the movie is added to your project, without the video footage.
The video footage is added to the Media list (but isn’t used in your composition).
