Audio tips

Here are some AV ideas:

File formats supported:
AAC, M4A
AIF, AIFF
MP3
AVI, WAV
---------------------------------------

Use Garage Band to create and edit sounds FX.
Share > Save to Disk as AIF files.
Import into AE.
---------------------------------------

Drag an audio file from the Project Panel to the Timeline.

View the Waveform
---------------------------------------

• SCRUBBING VIDEO
Hold OPTION and drag the CTI to scrub through the video.

• SCRUBBING AUDIO
Hold COMMAND and drag the CTI to scrub through the audio.

• SCRUBBING AUDIO & VIDEO
Hold OPTION & COMMAND and drag the CTI to scrub through the video and audio.
---------------------------------------

USE RAM PREVIEW, not SPACEBAR to hear the audio previews

Audio tips:
• you can resize the clip in the Time Graph (changing the length of the bar)
• place the clip in the Time Graph ( Move the bar)
• adjust audio levels ( fade in, fade out music)
• add multiple tracks (FX/foley, narration, music)


I will have a video tutorial up later this week.
