Editing Process - Sound

I did this part of editing in VideoPad at home because it was easier to do and it could be transferred into final cut if needed. I had done this by saving the track in which I wanted to use and the rest of the process is shown below:

At this stage all I had to do was go to the toolbar at the top left hand side of the page and click the 'add media' button and this then came up with all the sounds or videos in which I could add. At this stage all I needed to add was the soundtrack as the rest of the trailer was already complete. I then selected the soundtrack in which I had wanted to use and this was then visible in the available documents on the left hand side column.


All I then had to do was drag this down into the 'soundtack 1' column and then change the volume to 50% so that it did not overpower the voice-over or the dialogue itself. This was a pretty simple step because it fit exactly with my trailer and it seemed fairly professional. However, I then had to split this using the 'split' button on the left hand side to cut the soundtrack short as it was a bit too long.
