It is possible on a clip to have an .mp3 in selected portions of the scene? For example, I have music only, then audio from the movie and then a mix of both? .mp3 in the background while there is a dialog?
Probably the best way to do what you want is with Audio Volume Envelopes. Look under the Insert menu. You can place a volume envelope on the audio track, then doubleclick the line that appears to add control points. move these points up and down to fade the musice in or out.
