Final Cut Pro - Module III
V. Audio transitions: Page 1 of 3
Audio can serve as a transition from one clip to the
next. In the work thus far on this module, "Taps" serves as
a transition from one scene to the next, as viewers follow the music.
But there are other techniques to help make sound work smoothly as transitional
material. In this step, users will learn turn down the volume on individual
clips and use a silent video clip to help smooth the transition between
two audio clips. One of Final Cut Pro 3's transition effects will also
be used.
- Double-click on the Musket
clip in the Timeline. It loads into the viewer on the left side of the
screen.
- At the top of the viewer,
click the Ch1 tab. This is the audio track that is turned on in the
Timeline sequence.
NOTE: If Ch2 is the track that is turned on,
select the Ch2 tab.
- Next to dB, drag the slider
to the left to turn the volume down on the Musket track to about -20.
The loud voice of the commander talking in that track detracts from
the overall mood of the piece, but the musket fire enhances it. Turning
the volume down slightly will help overcome this problem.
- Double-click on the March
clip in the Timeline sequence to load it into the viewer on the left
side of the screen.
- Click on the Ch1 tab. Drag
the dB level to the left, again to about -20, to turn the volume down
on that sound track alone.
