Audio overview
You can add audio files to your project and use markers and keyframes to sync the audio with
other events in your project. You can import several types of audio files, including the audio
tracks from QuickTime movie clips. For each mono audio file you add to a project, Motion creates
a single audio track.
You can import multichannel audio files and have Motion create a single audio track for each
channel. Individual audio tracks have independent controls you can use to turn tracks on and off,
to select and play individual tracks, to mute and solo tracks, to control links between audio and
video objects, and to control volume and pan settings.
At the bottom of the Audio list, a Master track provides controls for the overall mix (all audio
tracks combined into a single mix), with its own set of controls for controlling volume, pan,
muting, and audio linking.

Import audio files overview
You can add different kinds of audio files to a Motion project. In addition, Motion lets you
preview files before adding them to your project and lets you view the audio files in a project in
several ways. Motion supports audio in a variety of common file formats, sample rates, and bit
depths. For a complete list, see
File types supported by Motion on page 165.
