Add Audio Clips

Using audio clips allows you to add background music or a narrative

voice-over to your movie. PowerDirector provides two tracks for

audio media (the Music and Voice tracks), which you can use

interchangeably.

Note: Audio files can only be added to the workspace in Timeline

view. If you drag an audio file to the workspace in Storyboard view,

the workspace automatically switches to Timeline view.

To add an audio clip to the workspace, do this:

1. Click to open the Media Room.

2. Select Audio or All Media from the Filter drop-down list.

3. Select an audio clip, then add it to the workspace. You may do

this in one of the following ways:

• Click to add the audio clip to the Voice track or

to add the audio clip to the Music track.

• Drag one or more audio clips to a desired position in the

Voice or Music track. Audio clips can be added at any point

in this track.

Timeline slider. Click , then select the random option.
