To import an audio file, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the clip that you want to import the track into.

2. Open the Clip Properties. (list ways) and select the Track tab.

3. Click the

Import

button.

4. The Windows Open dialog box displays the following:

NOTE: If you’re using a PC running Control Point software to access a K2 Summit/Solo
system, your view of the “local” Windows file system is a view of the Control Point PC.
However, the “local” drives (such as C:) that AppCenter uses for importing .wav files are not
the local drives of the Control Point PC. You cannot import directly from your Control Point
PC to the
K2 Summit/Solo system unless you map a network drive. To do this, go to the source
or destination machine, create a shared folder, then on the Control Point PC map that shared
folder as a network drive.

5. Browse to the .wav file to import and click

OK

.

When you import a file, the new track appears at the end of the working asset’s track list. The
file name is used as the initial audio track label. After the file has been imported, you can highlight
the track and rename it with the

Rename

button.

Adding a video or audio track

This feature is part of the licensable AppCenter Pro option.

You can view, edit, add or remove video and audio tracks in an clip. The tracks should be of the
same format. (For example, if you have an NTSC clip, do not add a PAL track to it.) You can have
up to four video tracks or 32 audio tracks in one clip. Added tracks are aligned to the start of the
clip.

Clips may contain tracks of different lengths. The length of the overall clip is limited to the length
of the original track. For example, if you have a clip that is thirty seconds long and you add a
two-minute audio track, AppCenter adds only the first thirty seconds of audio from the added track.

NOTE: If an additional track is longer than the original track, any material beyond the length
of the original track is not played as shown in the illustration below.

If an additional track is shorter than the original track, video plays black, ancillary data tracks
are blank, and audio is silent as illustrated below.
