Adding SmartSound Audio

There are different ways to add audio to VideoWave Productions. One option in EMC and Creator 2009 is to use Smart Sound, which automatically edits the audio to fit a production or part of a production.

Make sure the blue playback head is placed where you want your audio selection to begin playing.

Click on Add Background Audio and the Select Background Audio dialog box appears.

If you want to chose your own audio filed on your hard drive, navigate to it from the Media Selector Tab, and select it to add to a production. You can also add your own narration to your production.

To access Smart Sound, click on the Smart Sound tab. Here you can chose different types, styles, and variations of music. Select Music in the Type drop-down menu and Owned in the Where To Search drop-down menu. Choose the Style of Music, such as Classical, a Title, and a Variation.

To have SmartSound automatically fit the music to your production, check the Auto Fit box.

Preview your selection by clicking on the green preview arrow. There are a several tracks included with Smart Sound and you have access to preview and buy additional titles within the Smart Sound dialog box.

Click OK and and choose Add to Music Track and click OK. VideoWave adds the music to fit the production duration and, at the bottom of the Production Editor window in Storyline View, VideoWave adds clickable Audio Icon to edit the audio, if needed.

If you want SmartSound to generate audio only for a portion of the production, add up the total time needed and enter that time in SmartSound's Duration box. So for example, if you want music to play only for the duration of a six-second Title Panel, move the blue playback head to the start of the Title Panel and then click on Add Background Audio, make your selection, and type in 6 seconds, just enough to play for the duration of the Title.

Click OK and Add to Music Track and OK again.
