Making music longer

[Christina P]

I am not sure how to make the music longer. I am confused with how the time works on the clock.

Sound:

To open the Adjust Media dialog for a sound file, right click it and choose Adjust Duration. If you have selected a sound file, you will have these controls:

 

• Play, Pause, Go to Start, Go to End: Use these controls to navigate through your sound file.
• Start Time: Click the Start Time value to specify the place your audio will start playing from. Alternatively, navigate to the place you would like it to start playing from and click the red Set input point to here flag button. You can also drag the red Start Time arrow on the timeline below the preview.
• End Time: Click the End Time value to specify the place your audio will stop playing at. Alternatively, navigate to the place you would like it to stop playing at and click the blue Set output point to here flag button. You can also drag the blue End Time arrow on the timeline below the preview.
• Save as new media: Pressing the Save as new media button will save your sound file as a new media with the Start and End Time positions you have chosen. You can find the new media in the Media List.
• Zoom in/out: Use the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons or the shortcuts Num + / Num - to zoom in or out on the timeline. You could use this to help you position the Start and End Time positions at exactly the right place.
• Shift+G: Press Shift+G to set the timeline position.
• Fade Points: The blue line in the middle of the sound wave preview shows the volume level the audio will fade to. For example, to gradually increase the volume, drag the end of the line upwards. Dragging in the middle of the line will create a new fade point. Right click to remove fade points.
• Fit Slides to Audio: Select from the list if you want to apply Fit Slides to Audio Duration, Loop Audio thru Slideshow or Fade Audio at End of Slides. Fit Slides to Audio Duration will adjust the video/image slide length to fit the duration of audio clips. Select Loop Audio thru Slideshow to repeat the audio clip through the end of the slideshow. Fade Audio at End of Slides will trim the audio to fit the video/image slides duration and apply a 1 second fade out at the end.
• Volume Control: Move the volume slider to adjust the volume of the sound clip.
• Amplify: Apply Amplify effect to the sound clip.

 

When you have finished adjusting your media, press the Apply button to save your changes and close the dialog. If Amplify has been applied, the effect will be added to the track effects list and the amplify settings will be reset.

Opening the Adjust your slide dialog from the media tab will include an Add and Apply option, which will save your changes and automatically add the slide to the timeline.

It will not allow me to go past 9 seconds. Is there a way to fix it??

I added the first song to 42 secs and now it won’t let me add another. How do I add another song after doing one?

What occurs when you try to add it? Do you get any error message? You just need to drag the audio file from the media bin to the audio track in Timeline and put it is the position you want. In case you still have issues, you can submit a support ticket using this link: https://www.nch.com.au/support/

Does ITunes not work through it?? I tried to convert the file to something else but that doesn’t work either. What other music companies are there that works instead of iTunes
