aerialcameraman 0 #1 February 16, 2005 Asking those who have used this or are using this software. When you add music can you fade the video sound and turn up the music and then fade the music out when needed.. Something like you can in Vegas and Imovie.... Just asking i can't afford the mac right know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy 0 #2 February 16, 2005 I have Version 8.sumthin... I have to put the cursor on the blue sound line that runs down the center of the audio track you want to adjust,, it'll change from your pointer to a speaker when it's in the right spot, then press the left mouse button and hold it to drag the sound line up or down changing the volume and leaving a "spot" where you made the change. It'll adjust the volume from "spot" to "spot" so don't get clicky happy,, if you screw it up hit the "edit" and undo it and try again,, it's more of a pain then Vegas but you'll get used to it... Hope that helps! Natural Born FlyerZ.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrongWay 0 #5 February 16, 2005 Yes to the fading, yes to the multiple tracks. Never used 9, but I've done a shit ton of work on 8. Wanna hook me up?

spidermonky 0 #6 February 16, 2005 I have studio 9 and 9 plus and I have to say I'm very unhappy with them. EVERYTHING, from sound effects to picture-in-picture to transitions, costs money to "buy" once you've bought the software. There are music, sound-effect audio, video, and video overlay tracks.

mwabd1 0 #7 February 16, 2005 I use studio 9 on my PC, it's not the best program out there but for $100 you can turn out some nice videos! I recently bought a Mac and I am having to learn how to use Final Cut Express, so I feel your pain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YahooLV 0 #8 February 16, 2005 I agree. Smartsound is cool, but why do I have to BUY all that after buying the program?!? WTF? I'm going beck to 8. I found out you can't scroll titles in 9 (SE, forgetaboutit) as well as you can in 8http://www.curtisglennphotography.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy 0 #9 February 16, 2005 I decided not to go to 9 after finally getting all the bugs worked out of 8, which took an assload of time. Vegas, Premiere, whatever, allow you to be more creative and saves time by not screwing with all the Pinnacle "idiosyncracies." They do seem to be less consumer oriented. Many were pissed by having to buy 9 after getting 8 fixed, and not being allowed to upgrade. Natural Born FlyerZ.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
