Additional music tracks for instant movies

Postby flyingsilvia » Fri Oct 16, 2009 5:43 pm

Hi All, and please forgive me if this has been asked before.

I am creating an instant movie and cant seem to find any way of importing more than one track for the background music. Is it possible to turn off the music track and drop the imported music onto the sound timeline and then render both as a work around, or perhaps there is a better way?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers Tom

Hi Tom,
Welcome to Muvipix :meet:

After creating your instant movie you can still add additional music and clips to the timeline.
Import the music file to your project and add it to the soundtrack or narration tracks or any other audio track.

Thanks Chuck, I presume I have to do it before I render?

Depends on what you mean by render. Rendering the timeline preview or rendering the video for DVD or export.
There is no need to render the timeline, it is not a requirement. Unless your preview is not playing correctly.
This will depend on your system specs, especially processor speed and amount of RAM.

Actually, I would encourage you to render often as you work, regardless of whether or not you're having playback problems. It helps keeps the program stable and keeps your project running clean. I render every five minutes or so.

But, as Chuck says, video rendering has nothing to do with audio -- so you can render your video and continue to tweak your audio, and even add additional audio tracks, all you want without affecting your rendered visuals.

And welcome to Muvipix! Isn't this a great community?
