The Video editor sound track

In the leftmost part of the editing area is the sound track.

Files containing only sound (not containing a video sequence), songs, music, sounds, of any format mp3, aac, wav and others get to the sound track.

If file is a video, then it will fall on the main or background video sequence.

If the file contains an sound track, then you will see a vertical wavy sound diagram (for example, the picture on the right).

  • The order is from top to bottom, not from left to right.
  • The sound above is played before the sound below.

Preferences

- click on the sound file, then on this button to open the sound editor.

In the editor you can trim, changevolume, add effects, fade in, and fade out.

There is parameters under the soundtrack.

Trim

If you enable this option, the video editor will automatically trim the sound track on the video sequence.

Your video will end on the last frame, and the audio track, even if it is longer than the video sequence, will be trimmed.

Crossfade

If there are several files on the audio track, they are joining together using the “Crossfade” option - meaning how many seconds one file will go to another file.

Fade in / Fade out

Each sound can have the effect of increasing and decreasing the volume at the beginning and the end with the corresponding parameters.

The duration of the fade in and fade out is indicated by the color on the left side of each file - fade in is and fade out is .
