Dragging-and-dropping to Video Editor
Audio Editor allows you to take an audio file and then drag-and-drop that
file into Video Editor for further editing or to make it a part of a video
project. To do this, first open or record the file in Audio Editor and then
click the Drag button on the Toolbar. Holding down your mouse, drag-
and-drop the file to an audio track in Video Editor. If you wish to edit this
file at a later date, double-click on it and Audio Editor will open with the
file in the workspace. Saving then updates the file accordingly.
Recording sound
In Audio Editor, you can record sound to any open edit window; this can
be an existing file or a new ‘empty’ edit window. Depending on your
system’s configuration, you can record from a variety of sources such as
a CD player, MIDI player, microphone or MIDI file. Before you start
recording, you need to specify the driver of the external audio source you
will be using, such as a microphone or VCR. To do this, open the Win-
dows Control Panel and double-click the Multimedia icon. The Multime-
dia Properties dialog box opens and in the Preferred device for recording
option, specify the appropriate sound card driver (for audio sources) or
video capture board driver (for video sources). For example, if you are
using a SoundBlaster32 then you would set the Preferred device for
recording as ‘SB 32 (220).’
