Use markers with audio in Motion
When you add project markers to the Timeline, they’re visible in the ruler at the top of the
Timing pane. You can use project markers to designate “hit points” as you play the project,
to jump to a specific point, or to highlight points to synchronize visual and audio events.
For information on adding and deleting markers, moving markers, editing marker
information, and using markers, see Intro to Timeline markers in Motion.
Make advanced audio adjustments
Work with the Output audio track in Motion
Each project has an Output audio track. The controls for the Output audio track are located
at the bottom of the Audio list, below the individual audio tracks. Using the Output audio
track’s controls, you can make changes that affect the final mixed output of all audio
tracks. For example, you can lower the volume of all tracks at once, or pan all tracks to
the left or right. In addition, you can turn the Output audio track on or off, or mute it.
You select the Output audio track by clicking its area at the bottom of the Audio list. When
selected, the Output audio track area is highlighted.
Turn the Output audio track on or off
The Output audio track is turned on by default. When its activation checkbox is deselected,
no sound is audible when you play the project, and no audio is included when you export
your project. When the checkbox is selected, all audio tracks that are active are included in
your export.
• In Motion, click the checkbox on the left side of the Output audio track; click the
checkbox again to return the Output audio track to its previous state.
Set the overall level of audio in your project
You can use the Level slider to set the overall volume of audio in your project.
• In the Output audio track in Motion, drag the Level slider left or right.
The Level slider multiplies the level setting for each track. For example, if you set a
track’s level to 0.5 and you set the output audio level to 0.5, the combined level is 0.25
(one-fourth of the original).
Note: If you raise an individual track’s level and the output audio level so that the
combined increase is greater than 2, you may cause audio distortion, known as clipping.
