pcharnock Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hi everyone!Just joined the forum and having fun, but need a little help please! Q1. At the end of the picture sequence, how do you fade the music out, without it stopping abruptly?Q2. How do you skip to the middle of a sequence to preview any small changes that I have done, without having to watch it all through from the beginning?Your knowledge is appreciated!

alrobin Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hi, pcharnock,Welcome to the Forum!Most of us use a sound editor to tailor the music for the AV sequence (e.g. "tapering" the ends so they sound more smooth, overlapping separate music selections, controlling the volume, dubbing in sounds and narration, fading the music out at the end, etc.) A good free one is Audacity. Others use Adobe Audition, Acoustica, Cubase, etc. If you are synching a show to music, it seems to work better if you connect all the pieces together into one sound file (mp3 is preferrable to wave) using a sound editor. You can convert wave files to mp3 using "dBPowerAmp music converter", also a free download (except I heard they may now be charging for the mp3 codec).To skip to the middle of a sequence, highlight the image you want to start playing from and then click on the little "loaf of bread" on the bottom right corner of the preview window. Or, if you are in the timeline view (if your show is synched to music), simply highlight the transition you want to start with (one of the little numbered boxes along the timeline) and press "preview". Hope this helps, and good luck with PTE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcharnock Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Thanks for the reply Alrobin,Sorry to bother you, but have you (or anybody else) got a link to download one of these sound editors? The 'skipping sequence' worked fine, but did not link with the music that was supposed to be at that point! ( I presume that the sound editor would sort that too!)Many thanks,Phil.

alrobin Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Audacity, dBpowerAMP , Acoustica .To be sure to see the image exactly at the position desired, you should first synchronize both using the timeline. To do this you need to add the music using "Project options", and delete all music, if any, entered using "Customize Slide". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
