I bring my video clips into the editor. Cut and move around as needed. Once I have everything where I want it then it's time to set music to it. I mute all the audio on the video clips. I then open SmartSound, find my music, set the time limit, and drag it down into the audio track. Now, I do a preview to make sure the music stops exactly when I want it to. It's fine. After watching it through once I get to see if there are any more edits that need to be done. So I go back to the video clips, edit what needs to be edited....whether that is adding a title or cutting something out, then I go back to the beginning and watch it over to see if the changes I made turned out the way I had hoped. This time around, the SmartSound music doesn't play. I've found that if I drag that SS clip up into the VoiceOver room it will play with the video. Then, when I check to see if it's still going, the music doesn't work. So I drag it back into the audio track and it works fine. Then the process repeats itself. It's not really anything other than an inconvenience but it didn't happen like that in PD9. The videos on this channel are short, usually around a minute, silent comedy. The stopping time of the music is integral to the punchline so, as you can imagine, I listen over and over and over to make sure it's right. Any thoughts on this? I can actually make a video showing exactly what is happening if you'd like. Again, the music plays, I just have to drag it back and forth between the audio and voice over tracks for it to work each time.
Thanks in advance,
