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-and-Drop 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, there are two methods to record an audio file. The first is
by recording sound to any open edit window (this can be an existing file or
a new "empty" edit window). The other way is to copy a sound file directly
from a CD. Depending on your system’s configuration, you can record
from a variety of sources such as a CD-ROM, 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 Windows Control Panel. Depending on the
operating system you are using, double-click the item that manages
Multimedia settings. 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)."
