AUDIO EDITOR: CHAPTER ONE 347
samples a file contains the better the audio reproduction; the down side
is increased file size.
3.
Select the number of channels to use from the Channels group box.
The number of channels in an audio file refers to whether the file is
mono or stereo. Stereo provides for better sound but is twice the file
size of mono.
4.
Select the sample size you want to use from the Sample size group
box.
The sample size specifies how much memory is allocated to store the
audio data. In most cases 8-bit files produce adequate results without
sacrificing too much in quality. If you want the best possible file then
choose 16-bit. This does, however, result in a file twice the size of an
8-bit file.
Saving files
Save your audio files using the Save and Save As commands. For
previously saved files, clicking Save instantly overwrites the existing file
with the new data. Save As opens the Save Audio File dialog box where
you can specify a new name and/or destination. The Save Audio File dialog
box also allows you to append subject and description information as well
as assign a thumbnail image to use as a visual representation of the file in
any preview enabled dialog box or browser.
There is also an option where you can directly save the audio file into the
Production Library of Video Editor, saving you the trouble of having to
import it when using Video Editor.
Note: If the saved audio file is included as a track in a Video Editor project, the
track is automatically updated.
Saving files to a video
Apart from saving audio as a wave file, you can also save it as an audio
track to an existing AVI or MOV file. If the file contains an original audio
track , the track is overwritten with the new data. (If the waveform is
longer in duration than the video, it is truncated to the video length.)
