Chapter 13

Working With Audio

Note: Although you can import files that contain multiple audio tracks into Motion,
when you export your project, all tracks are treated equally and mixed into a single
track on export.

To import a multi-track QuickTime movie file using the drop menu:

1

Drag the file from the File Browser or the Finder and hold the file over the Canvas.

A drop menu appears.

2

Do one of the following:

To import the movie with a single audio track, select Mix To Stereo, then release the
mouse button.

The file appears in the Audio tab as a single audio track and the video appears in the
Canvas (and Layers tab). The link icon in the Lock column of the Audio tab indicates
that the audio object has a corresponding video element.

Note: When a multi-track QuickTime file is imported without using the drop menu,
Mix To Stereo is the default import method.
