ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE
Background music
The mood of your movie is determined as much by your video as it is by the background music
you use. Whether you choose Classical, Country, or Chinese folk music, the decision is entirely
up to you. The source of this music can be any CD in your collection.
To use the audio from a CD in your movie, you first have to record the music you want with
your computer. This creates a WAV file, which is the digital audio data from your CD. Ulead
VideoStudio now supports a number of additional file formats, including MP3. MP3s are an
exciting new way to share music over the Internet and there are thousands of songs available
for you to download.
After you have recorded a clip, the controls
on the Options panel have changed
somewhat. The top numbers now represent
the total Duration of the inserted clip. As
with other types of media clips, you can now
trim the inserted music file to better fit your
movie.
The Record button turns red when recording.
The Play button changes to the Stop button
when playing a CD.
