Timeline Viewer

Use the timeline viewer, shown below, to edit your movie’s video and audio clips, and

synchronize your audio and video.

Timeline viewer button: Click the timeline viewer button to switch from the clip viewer to the

timeline viewer.

Video track: Select clips in this track to edit or add effects or titles that play over your footage.

Audio tracks: Place and arrange audio clips in these tracks and drag them into position to

synchronize audio with video clips. Use these tracks to add sound effects, music, and voiceover

recordings. Deselecting the checkbox to the right of the track mutes all the audio clips in that

track.

Zoom slider: Move the slider to make clips appear larger or smaller in the timeline. Enlarging or

reducing the size of clips can make them easier to select and edit.

Volume level bar: When you choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels, you see a volume level bar

appear as a line across your clips. Select a clip, clips, or a portion of a clip, and click the clip

volume control icon under the audio tracks to display a volume slider. Drag the slider to raise or

lower the volume of a selected clip, clips, or clip segment. Or directly change the clip volume by

dragging the volume level bar up or down. You can also click the bar to add markers, then drag

the markers to adjust the volume for sections of audio clips. You can use this to make audio fade

in or fade out.

Audio waveforms: You can choose View > Show Audio Waveforms to display representations of

audio intensity in audio clips. Use audio waveforms to align video to audio events such as a

certain drumbeat or the exact beginning or end of the audio.

Audio checkboxes: Select a checkbox to hear the audio in a track. Deselect it to mute the track.
