Adding Sound Effects
iMovie HD comes with a selection of short sound effects that you can use to enhance
your movie. Use the Audio pane, shown below, to add sound effects.
To add a sound effect:
1 Click the timeline viewer button (it has a clock on it) to open the timeline viewer.
2 Click the Audio button to open the Audio pane.
3 Choose iMovie Sound Effects from the pop-up menu.
A list of sound effects appears.
4 Drag the sound effect you want into one of the audio tracks in the timeline viewer. The
sound effect appears as an audio clip in the track.
5 Adjust the position of the audio clip by dragging it until you see the frame in which
you want the sound effect to begin.
Tip: You can also create your own musical sound effects in GarageBand. If you want a
trumpet call or bass drum beat at a particular point in a movie, create one as a short
song in GarageBand and export it into iTunes. You can even create whole soundtracks
for your movies in GarageBand, if you want.
