displayed as a wave form at the top of the En-

of all soundtracks for a better overview.
(b) The volume of the selected audio sample
can be increased or reduced selectively in the
volume display directly beneath the wave form
display by means of the rubber-band function.
In this case, rst specify the editing points within
the audio sample at which the volume is to be
increased or reduced. Insert these points either
by left-clicking in the volume display close to
the desired position, or by clicking on the Add
button beneath the volume display.
Now activate one of the new points either by
clicking on it directly, or by selecting it with the
aid of the scrollbar and the function for stepping
through individual frames on the right-hand side
beneath the volume display. The colour of the
active point changes from r
ed to green. The point can then be positioned
exactly as follows.
• Positioning in the volume display
Click on the activated (green) point again. It
changes colour from green to blue. Drag the
point horizontally to the desired time position
in the volume display. To increase or reduce
the volume, move the point upwards (louder)
or downwards (softer). Note that the rst and
last points in the volume display cannot be
moved horizontally, i.e. against time. Left-click
again to conrm the position of the point.
• Positioning by means of the Level slider
After clicking on Position, the active point can
be moved horizontally to the desired time po-
sition. Next drag the Level slider to the right to
increase the volume or to the left to reduce it.
• Positioning against the video background
To determine the position of a point according
to its location within the video, click on Range
The start position can be determined either
by Position or by stepping through individual
frames. Click on the right-hand trackball button
to adopt the selected setting. Use the Level
slider to select the volume at the desired point
in time.
Follow the same procedure with the remaining
points in the volume display until the desired
result is achieved. Then create the result.
