Sound in music track undulates

buzzme wrote on 3/21/2004, 8:03 AM

During playback, whatever I put in the music sound track undulates (the volume varies slightly up and down). Pretty annoying. Sound from the camera track and the sound effects track sound great.

It's not in the original mp3 or wav files.

I swapped the files in the music track to the sound effects track, then the music sounded good BUT the sound effects undulate. Has to be something I am doing with the music track. Volume levels are all set to 0 decibels.

Any ideas?

Check the FX that you have on the music track. Make sure you didn’t add an Amplitude Modulation FX to it (which is what it sounds like)

I am using Screenblast Movie Studio 3 and love it. I am relatively new at movie making but have muddled my way through most situations without having to bother you folks out there. My question is this: when edtiting an event and want to--say--remove the last frame of the clip--is there an easy or exacting method of accomplishing this. When I grab the the clip (event) with the mouse and try to move it back to the left one frame, I usually move it too far and it requires several attempts. The split features doesn't work this close to the end of the event. Something tells me that there is better way to achieve this and this will be one of those "DUH" answers and I will have some egg on my face when I hear it.

Thanks in advance for your help. Anyone?

Since this is a different topic than undulating sound, you should probably start a new thread using the Post New Topic link. This way people will see your subject and respond accordingly.

You can move trough the timeline one frame at a time by holding the ALT key while using the arrow keys. You can also zoom in until the timeline is frame accurate (which is easy to do using your mouse wheel, or up arrow) but I find the ALT-arrow keyboard combination to be faster for this level of control when there is no other reason to zoom.

Put the cursor wherever you want to start, <alt><right arrow> moves one frame forward, <alt><left arrow> moves one frame back. You can zoom in on the time line with the mouse wheel or the controls under the right side of the time line to get a clearer idea of what's going on.

Thanks guys for the tip on editing. I apologize for entering this question on this post--it was by mistake. I happen to be browsing this post at the time and thought and I was posting a new thread while all along I was replying to this one. I did however start a new thread and got the same answers--It was unanimous. Thanks to all that responded. A GREAT FORUM!

> It was unanimous

Either that or it was mass hysteria? (It’s been know to happen you know.) ;-)

Glad we could help.
