you insert samples, the guide lines are “magnetic”, which

makes it possible to position them with great accuracy - more

on this later. The lines are only displayed where there is no

transition effect between the scenes.

3. There are different possibilities to identify overmodulation of

the audio. A click on this button will test the audio and tell you

if clipping is occurring. If clipping is indeed occurring, a mes-

sage will inform you and you will be able to jump directly to the

relevant position on the timeline. You can then deal with the

problem easily. Additionally, areas with clipping will be colored

red in the narrow blue strip on top of the original sound track.

If there are several clipping areas, you can edit these one after

the other by repeatedly clicking the test button. If a very long

project has not yet been tested at all, the test can take some

time.

The Timeline mode view displays the audio modulation in the

audio mixing samples. Should sound clipping occur, this will

be indicated in red in the top border of the sample.

4. There are several buttons next to the sound tracks. In ad-

dition to the existing buttons for selecting tracks (right) and

selecting effects (left), a new button has been added at the

left-hand side. It displays a stylized symbol of a speaker. With

this button, the sound of any track can be switched on or off at

any time. Clicking on such a symbol opens a window in which

you can set the volume of the sound track. There are also but-

tons with which you can mute the sound or set it at 0 dB. This

way, you could temporarily mute the original sound while you

are concentrating on the comments. Changes to the tracks are

also taken into account when a project is ﬁnalized (exporting,

DVD burning...). This makes it easy to create several different

versions (with/without music, German or English comments...).

You should be careful not to accidentally “forget” a track.

5. / 6. The individual sound tracks contain sound samples.

The sound samples are shown in the top half of the so-called

sound curve. This is a general indication of the sound volume

changes. The lower half displays the sound envelope. This

allows to apply transitions and other sound volume changes as

you see ﬁt. Details will be described later.

Sound samples that are subject to transition effects are dis-

played differently in the original sound track (5.). The transition

between the sound samples is displayed here as a diagonal

line. The sound curve display can be switched on or off in the

settings.

7. This button is used to call up the audio settings. In addition

to the existing functions, there is an additional button on the

right for each of the tracks. If it has been activated (checkmark

present), the corresponding sound track will be shown in the

mixing display. If the button is deactivated, the track will not

be displayed. Switching off the display of individual tracks

sample is playing, for example the background music is to be

softened for the duration of a commentary, indirect volume

control is the most convenient solution. Modifying the audio

samples by means of the wave form or splitting the music

manually would also entail a disproportionate amount of work.

• If unwanted noises are to be eliminated from a audio sample

or over-modulated passages of an audio sample adjusted to

the general volume level, the wave form represents a power-

ful tool, albeit one which is not particularly easy to use. Once

an audio sample has been edited by means of the Wave Form

function, indirect volume control is however subject to certain

limitations.

5. Smooth-fading audio samples in and out

6. Adding audio effects

Audio effects (standard effects, surround effect, supplemen-

tary effects) can be added to individual audio samples in the

same way as to complete sound tracks.

7. Rechecking audio mixing

Add the remaining audio samples in turn and adjust the vol-

ume, fading and effects as required.

8. Creating audio

Create the sound. The color control bar immediately beneath

the storyboard should no longer contain any yellow compo-

nents.

4.13.2.1 Screen elements in the timeline view

Using a screen shot of the audio-mixing screen, the individual

elements will be described below.

1. The menu view is set with this button. This allows you to

switch between the timeline view and the storyboard view

at any time, making it possible to make use of their speciﬁc

advantages.

2. Use this button to lengthen the yellow guide lines from the

video track that optically separate the scenes from each other

to the full height of the sound tracks. They indicate the start

of a scene and improve clarity when arranging the samples on

the various sound tracks. When you move samples or when
