M ixing Audio and Recording Vo ice-Overs
Mixing Audio and
Recording Voice-Overs
Chapter 14:
Your production's audio can make or break your video production. Use the Audio
Mixing Room to mix the audio levels of your production, or record a voice-over in
the Voice-Over Room to add narration to your video.
Adjusting Audio Clip Volume
Levels
Your video production may contain audio in one of the audio tracks, the music
track, or the voice track. Since the audio may have been recorded at different levels,
the result could produce an overwhelming and confusing soundtrack.
Click to open the Audio Mixing Room to mix all of the audio levels into a more
harmonious soundtrack for your video, or mix the levels in track on each individual
clip using volume keys.
Mixing Audio In-Track
You can manually change the volume level at any point in an audio clip in the
timeline.
To change the volume level of an audio track in the timeline, click on the audio
level line at the point where you want to change the audio level to set a volume
key. Drag the volume key up to increase the volume or down to decrease the
volume.
Note: to remove a volume key, drag it outside the clip's borders.
