Working with Video in Soundtrack

Working with a Video’s Audio

You can edit the audio clip of the video’s audio as with any audio clip in the project.
You can move and resize the video’s audio, or split and join it. You can also change the
name or icon of the track containing the video’s audio, and use the controls in the track
header to adjust volume and pan, mute or solo the track, change the time format, or
enable the track for recording.

If you remove the video from the project, the audio clip of the video’s audio is not deleted,
but remains in the project. You can delete the clip separately if you want to remove it.

Using the Time Display and Time Ruler with Video

When you import a video file into a Soundtrack project, the Time display and Time ruler
adjust to show the timecode format of the video. The Time display and Time ruler can
display time in seconds, frames, drop frames, or non-drop frames. You can choose the
format for timecode display, and can set the video frame rate for projects not
containing a video file. You can also set the default frame rate for new projects in the
Project Preferences pane.

To choose the units shown in the Time display and Time ruler:

m

Choose View > Time Ruler Units, then choose a time format from the submenu.

You can adjust the video’s
audio using the controls
in the track’s header.
