muting volume on tracks

thepack6 wrote on 3/26/2015, 7:13 PM

Hey, I asked a similar question earlier and was told the way to mute audio was to open up the mix board and take fader for the track down to 0. That didn't work. I figured out that if you click on the object you want muted then right click you can mute it, but I was wondering how you can do this for many video's in a row that you want to put a song over. Any thoughts?

 

thanks

Hi again,

You should have continued with the same thread so that everything stays together.

Why didn't it work? Did you adjust the correct track?

Get audio and video on separate tracks. You can set this to happen automatically in the program settings Y, or by using Ctrl+H on an object. Audio and video will still be linked together. There will be a handle in the middle of the audio object. Drag it down to turn the volume down or off. To do more than one at a time, select the object that you want to modify and drag the handle down; all selected objects will be affected equally.

Look up in the manual how to do damping or ducking. This requires opening and modifying the volume curve. I don't know if you can do this in MEP basic, but you can in Plus / Premium. You can also do volume automation.

You can also search here and under the Forum tab, ...Movie Edit Pro for damping.
