Handling QuickTime Movie Audio Tracks

Once a movie has been opened in a project, you can make use of the Import Audio from
Movie or Export Audio to Movie commands, found in the File menu.

You can adjust the audio level and output device in the Video project settings (see

Video

Project Settings

).

Importing Audio Tracks From QuickTime Movies

You can import audio from QuickTime movies to your project.

To import audio from a movie

1

Select the required audio tracks.

2

Do one of the following:

• Choose File > Import Audio from Movie from the main menu bar (or use the

corresponding key command).

• Control-click (or right-click) the global Video track area, and choose Import Audio from

Movie from the shortcut menu.

3

Click OK in the dialog that appears.

The selected audio tracks are bounced to an AIFF file, and placed in the Audio Bin. A new
audio track is also created at the top of the Arrange area, and the imported audio from
the movie is added to this track. The movie name is retained and used for the resulting
audio files.

Exporting Audio Tracks to QuickTime Movies

You can export audio from the part of your project that is encompassed by the QuickTime
movie to the movie file itself, effectively overwriting the original movie soundtrack. This
is useful for sending a rough mix of your film soundtrack to other members of the
production team, for example.

To export your project to the QuickTime movie

1

Open the Sound Settings dialog by doing one of the following:

• Choose File > Export Audio to Movie from the main menu bar (or use the corresponding

key command).
