Editing With Audio

Final Cut Express HD lets you mix up to 32 tracks of audio
with the flexibility to add music or your own voice.

As long as you pay attention to the principles of linked clips and sync relationships,
adding music or narration is easy.

About Linked Clips

When you capture video and audio together, they’re linked by default, appearing in
your sequence as linked items. When you turn on linked selection in
Final Cut Express HD (by clicking the Linking control), it ensures that if you select one
linked item in the Timeline, all other audio and video items linked to it are also
selected. Adjustments you make to one item are applied to the others.

This linking is especially important when working with clips in which the video and
audio need to remain in sync.

selection on and off.
Green indicates linking
is turned on.
