contents button to read all available tracks on the audio CD
inserted beforehand into the DVD-RW drive . To sample your
tracks, check the box next to Play intro time in order to play
the audio sample automatically as soon as it is selected in the
list . You can choose between different play back times or you
can switch off this function altogether .
You can switch to a different track or start import with OK at
any time during play . You have the several possibilities to enter
titles . Note the box above the vertical slider . It has three differ-
ent modes that can be changed by clicking into the box (see
chapter 3 .2, Sliders) .
• If you wish to import merely one text, make sure to mark the
box with an X . Select the item in this fashion and confirm with
“OK” . After entry the window “CD Import” closes automatically
and you see the title displayed in the list of sound clips .
• If you wish to import multiple texts from the CD, make sure
to activate the box by placing a checkmark . Mark the desired
text items and start the import procedure by clicking onto
“Import active track” (the window will remain opened) or “OK”
(window will close) . The tracks read in beforehand are now
displayed in the list of audio samples .
• If you whish to import all titles from the CD, first mark all titles
by activating the horizontal stripes in the box, or click onto
the button for ‘All’ . It is unimportant which title in the list has
already been selected .
If you cancel the operation while the titles are being read, then
all titles that have been successfully read are displayed in the
list . When the sound clips have been loaded, you will see their
titles displayed in the list of sound clips .

Click on this button and a screen called “CD compilation” ap-
pears . This screen allows you to select samples for your audio
CD . You could burn your audio comments or extracted original
sounds to CD or even load a music CD and re-burn it with a
different track order .
On the left, you can see a list with sound samples (“All sam-
ples”) . Select the desired sample and press “Add” . The sample
activate the “Insert as scenes in storyboard” by marking the
little box . After splitting the sample and confirming with “OK”
or waiting until the end of the sound, the video data will be
created . The sample parts are automatically copied in the form
of empty scenes, containing the respective parts of the sound .
These empty scenes are placed into the Storyboard in the Edit
screen . They’ll be easy to spot: Black scenes with a little music
note symbol .
Additionally, you can now press the “Replace” (or “Insert”)
button (see chapter 4 .7, item (17) / (13)), so that the selected
empty audio scene takes the place of the selected scene in the
scene bin . If the video scene is too long, it is trimmed to the
right length at the end .
This function is great for audio pre-editing as you can com-
fortably make your cuts and then implement the rhythmically
cut up audio piece to any video footage . Once you have split
your audio sample, the sample list shows that copies of it have
been made and that your original sample is still available .
(10) Use the Trim function to remove unwanted components
at the beginning or end of the recorded or split audio mate-
rial . Coughing in the commentaries and residual material from
adjacent CD tracks can thus be eliminated . The Trim function
is also familiar to you from video editing, and functions in the
same way with audio . The wave form and audio scrubbing
cannot be disabled in this menu .
(11) Click on the Delete button to delete the selected audio
sample .
(12) Click on the Undo button to undo deletion of an audio
sample . The last ten samples deleted can be recovered in this
way . Deleted scenes cannot be reactivated following a restart .
When the sound clips have been loaded, you will see their
titles displayed in the list of sound clips .
(13) The name of the audio sample clicked on in the sample list
is displayed automatically in the name field . The name can be
changed in the manner familiar from video . Click in the name
field to call up the keyboard . The length of the audio sample is
displayed in the adjacent field .
(14) The text field at the bottom right contains the group name
that has been assigned to the sound sample . Should you want
to change the group or assign it for the first time, click in this
text field to activate the “Assign Group Name” button . This
menu is also activated when you click on the “Opt .” button .
This menu is explained in item (19) .

tions for the audio sample highlighted in color in the audio list .

scrollbar below the volume display (1) while recording is run-
