Basically, video sound, too, can be edited using all features of Wings Vioso RX. For this purpose, the sound is extracted from the video and is then made available as a sound object in an audio track.
Click one Media Pool category Video.
Now drag the corresponding video from the Media Pool into an audio track. This causes the audio data to be extracted, the display data to be rendered and a corresponding sound object to be created. On the hard disk and in the Media Pool an audio file is created.
This sound object can be edited as desired. See Sound editing.
If you start by dragging the video from the Video Pool into an empty space of the timeline below the last track, Wings Vioso RX will automatically create a new video and audio track, extract the audio from the video and place both in perfect synchrony in the corresponding location. Moreover, both objects are then grouped.
If you are having problems using extracted sound you can have it extracted again by right-clicking the video object and selecting Special Functions - Extract audio file again.
Column Format / Audio in the Media Pool category Video shows whether a video contains multi-channel sound by specifying the number of channels.
Any possible multi-channel sound is extracted in the form of several stereo wave files and added to new audio tracks in the timeline if you drop the video into some empty timeline space. The output channels need to be assigned to these new audio tracks in accordance with your the multi-channel setup. See also Multi-channel sound.
When you drag a video containing multi-channel sound into an audio track the audio is extracted and the first file, i.e. normally channels 1 and 2 for the front stereo speakers, is placed in the audio track. After extracting the audio the other audio files are displayed in the Media Pool.
Sound and video objects can be synced in time via certain functions, such as Aligning objects or via the magnetic Locator. However, this is no longer possible after you have cropped the objects separately as the reference in time of these objects has been lost. In such cases, however, you can still align the content of the objects which works also with a number of differently cropped objects.
Cut the sound object roughly to match the length of the video object and move it to the approximate location in time of the video.
Mark the video object. Right-click the pertaining sound object and select Special Functions – Align content. Following this, picture and sound will be in perfect synchrony.
Length as well as fade-ins and outs of video and sound objects can be edited further. Before moving them, both objects must be marked.
In order to be align the object contents the object must be shorter than the media file, i.e. it must be trimmed.
However, also the video pictures can be synchronized with sound. To do so, mark the audio file, followed by right-clicking the video object and choosing Special Functions – Align content.
You can modify the sound in length and adjust it to video scenes via timestretching. See Changing playing speed and pitch.
