Working with Audio

Deleting an Audio File

There are two ways to remove an audio track from your project.

To delete an audio track:

m

In the Audio tab, select the audio track, then do one of the following:

 Press the Delete key.
 Click the Delete button (–) at the top of the Audio tab.
 Control-click the file you want to remove, then choose Delete from the shortcut

menu.

If you try to delete an audio file with linked video, the following alert dialog appears:

Note: Deleting tracks from the Audio tab removes the associated file from the Media
tab if “Automatically removed unused media” is selected in the General pane of Motion
Preferences.

Working with Audio Tracks

When you add an audio file to your project, Motion creates one or more audio tracks
for the file. In the Audio tab of the Project pane, you can turn audio tracks on and off,
select tracks, mute and solo tracks, and control their volume and pan settings.

Any changes you make to an audio track, such as renaming or trimming it, do not
affect the source audio file.

Turning Audio Tracks On or Off

When you add an audio file to your project, it becomes a track in the Audio tab and is
turned on by default. You can turn individual audio tracks on or off in the Audio tab.
Turning off an audio track silences it during playback, and means the track is not part
of your final mix when you export the project.
