rection to the other tracks. They will then return
to their original volume levels.
Use these controls until you have found your ideal
audio mix.
If you would like the volume change not to be
abrupt, but gradual so that it sounds as if you are
controlling the change by hand with an audio
mixer, click on the button "
Fade " (while the com-
mentary is active). In the following menu you see
two possible settings,
Fade-in
and
Fade-out
.
A fade-in value zero seconds means an abrupt
volume change. A value of one second means that
all volume changes take place gradually over the
course of one second. This applies to the volume
of the affected track (in this case the commentary
track) and also to its correction of all neighboring
tracks.
Set the values for both fade-in and fade-out to
one second. This achieves an smooth volume
transition. After the renewed creation you can
check the result.
The first commentary sample is now complete.
Find the position for the second commentary and
repeat the above procedure.
After all commentaries have been mixed, you set
the volume of the original audio and the back-
ground music. Select the first piece of background
music in the storyboard and play it. In case the
original audio cannot be heard and the back-
ground music is too loud, you can adjust the vo-
lumes using the volume control. You have already
learned earlier in this chapter how to do this.
Audio mixing is now finished. Play the entire film
from the
Finish screen. If necessary, you can make
further corrections.
With audio mixing it is even possible to remove
disturbing sounds, for example coughing on the
original source audio.
In the Record, Edit screen use the " New Sample "
button to create a " Silence " sample with a durati-
on of 1 second. In the
Audio mix
screen insert it
onto the fx1 track under the affected scene and
position it with Range (Position) until the point
in the scene with the disturbing sound is reached.
Click " Correction " and select the camera icon.
Then correct the orignal audio with the dB slider
to the right. Slide to the left until you reach "Mut-
ed". Then click "
Create "
Now the original audio will be muted for second
and the cough will not be heard.
4.4 Tutorial 4: Titling 1
Casablanca Prestige provides high-performance
titling with which you can insert opening titles,
end credits, subtitles, etc. into your video project.
Again, you need an edited video to do this. This
can be a complete video film project, but for this
exercise it is sufficient to have 3 or 4 scenes with a
length of about 10 seconds each.
Click on " Titling ". This screen is very similar to
the " Image Processing " screen, because titling is a
similar task. A segment of the storyboard will be
modified, only in this case the modification is an
inserted text and not an effect.
As you have done when practicing image proces-
sing effects, select a scene in the storyboard for
your first title. You can simply take the first scene.
Step 1: Adding an Opening title
You will now insert an opening title to your video
project. This title will display the name of the
video on three fixed text panels. From the Main
Menu, Click "
Titling
”. Once in the Titling menu,
select " Pages " and add this title effect onto the
storyboard.
Then click the " Enter/edit text " button in the
lower-left corner of the screen.
