Audio
Controls and functionality related to audio mixing have been
extensively revised and expanded . Many of these changes will
only become visible when you opt for the Timeline view in one
of the higher resolutions .
• When you play sequences while mixing audio, all tracks will
be correctly mixed with all changes to volume and envel-
ope, without calculating them first . Only effects must still be
calculated .
• The sound curve will be displayed in combination with the
envelope for all samples
• The envelope can be changed directly for each sample that
has been displayed
• The number of sound tracks that is being displayed is freely
configurable (up to 3, or up to 6 with the Pro Pack)
• It is now also possible to mute individual sound tracks
• Sound samples can be inserted wherever you want in the
tracks, and you can then freely move them around within and
between sound tracks
• Several functions can be selected directly at the sound track
via a selector switch
• The small left trackball button can be used over the envelope
to activate several additional functions

changed while dubbing

or all tracks in parallel

effects

longer be removed when editing the video

1280x720 are now also supported
• It is now possible to record HDV and AVCHD in SD projects
and to record DV in HD projects . If necessary, everything will
be converted while recording .

matically be recognized and displayed

other formats in addition to AVCHD

scenes at the start and at the end, in order to remove images
with errors

HD projects
