Add music or narration

Add music, narration, or a sound effect on the timeline's Audio track.

If the sound is already in a video on a device screen, use that video's audio controls. You do not need to add it as a separate Audio clip.

Add audio at the playhead

1. Move the playhead to the time where the sound should begin.
2. Open the main timeline add menu and choose Audio.
3. Choose your audio file.
4. Select the resulting clip to see its audio preview and timing controls.

Change its timing

Drag the clip along the track, or edit Start and Duration in the inspector. Play the movie around the start and end to check the timing against the picture.

The inspector's player is useful for listening to the source file. Preview the main timeline to judge how the sound fits the whole movie.

Replace or remove a clip

Select the audio clip and click Replace… to choose another file. Use Remove Audio to remove the selected clip.

The audio inspector currently offers timing and replacement, without a full mixer or fade controls. Prepare volume changes and fades in an audio editor before importing when you need them.

Render a short movie and listen to the saved file before exporting a longer sequence.
