I am trying to set up a fireplace video with fireplace sounds muted in the background with Christmas music over it. But not so muted it isn't there...
I tried searching here and looked at the tutorial but it was no help. Unfortunately the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. I've used Wavepad for many, many years and Videopad for simple school projects with my youngest before and never had an issue.
I must be missing something simple. The main panel is not muted for Track 1 (fireplace sounds), none of the individual audio files (8 of them) are muted or at anything but 100%, neither audio track is set for solo, yet only the audio Track 2 (Christmas music) plays (and the sound meter lights up).
The noticeable difference is that Track 1 has the FX, speaker and Unlink symbols on each audio file while Track 2, which plays, does not. This is all in Timeline mode. In Storyboard mode Track 1 doesn't appear at all.
One factor that might be important is that the fireplace sound was linked to the video when I imported it into the editor. I played it and first heard the sounds (I hadn't expected them). I was able to mute the sounds successfully in Timeline, then added the Track 2 with the Christmas music and lost Track 1.
What does that tell you experienced folks (if anything)?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
