QuickTime: Adding Tracks-Adding tracks of equal length
QuickTime lets you combine and add tracks just as in the high
end applications. For example, say you shot some footage with
your MiniDV. Did you know you can add other tracks on top of
that like audio narration, music, or even text? Yup, and it's
easy too.
We'll start out assuming you have a music file and a video
file, both separate movies that you want to combine. For this
example we'll also assume both tracks are the same length. You
could have had the movie playing in the player while you
narrated the video or your music track is the same length as
your video.
Step 1. Copy one of the movies. Since both of these tracks
are the same length we can choose to copy either of the movies.
In this example, let's copy the video-only movie to add to the
sound movie.
To copy a movie, click once on the movie to select it and on
your keyboard click Command-C/Control-C to copy the data.
Step 2. Add the track. Select the video only movie, move the
Playback head to the very beginning by clicking the "Go To
Start" button. Go up to Edit>Add
Step 3. Test your movie. Both the video and sound tracks
should now be playing simultaneously.
Step 4. Save your movie |
