Editing the video's audio track

When you add a video that contains an audio track to a project, a new track appears in the timeline containing the video's audio track. You can edit the video's audio track like other tracks, solo or mute it, change its volume level and pan position, and add effects.

The video's audio track is named Video Sound. You cannot change the track's name.

To edit the video's audio track, do any of the following:

Use the Solo and Mute buttons to hear the track by itself or silence it.

Use the volume slider to adjust the track's volume level.

Use the pan dial to adjust the track's pan position.

Add and adjust effects in the Track Info pane.

If you mute the Video Sound track, the video’s audio will not be included when you send the movie to iDVD or iWeb or when you export it as a QuickTime movie.
