Adding audio to a timeline


    When you place an audio file in the timeline, Adobe Encore DVD automatically snaps it to the beginning of the track. You can change the start point within the source audio file, but the file must start at the beginning of the timeline.

To add audio to a timeline:

  1. Click the Project tab of the Project window to bring it to the front.
  2. Open the timeline to which you want to add audio. Adobe Encore DVD opens the Timeline window.
  3. Drag the desired audio clip from the Project tab to the timeline, just below the video track. Adobe Encore DVD creates a new audio track and places the clip at the beginning of the timeline.
  4. If required, choose the appropriate language code in the Language pop-up menu on the left side of the track in the Timeline window.

To create a new timeline for an audio clip:

  1. Click the Project tab of the Project window to bring it to the front.
  2. Do one of the following actions:
    • Select the audio clip in the Project window, and choose Timeline > New Timeline. Adobe Encore DVD opens the Timeline window and creates a new timeline with the audio already placed on the audio track.
    • Choose Timeline > New Timeline and then drag the desired audio clip from the Project tab to just below the video track of the new timeline. Adobe Encore DVD creates a new audio track and positions an audio clip at the beginning of the timeline, regardless of where in the timeline you release the mouse.

To add audio tracks:

  1. Open the timeline to which you want to add audio tracks (or click its tab in the Timeline window if it is already open). Adobe Encore DVD displays the timeline in the Timeline window.
  2. Choose Timeline > Add Audio Track or right-click in the audio track and choose Add Audio Track. Adobe Encore DVD adds an empty audio track to the timeline.

To remove audio tracks:

  1. Open the timeline from which you want to remove audio tracks or click its tab in the Timeline window if it is already open. Adobe Encore DVD displays the timeline in the Timeline window.
  2. Select the audio track you want to remove by clicking its name on the left side of the timeline.
  3. Choose Timeline > Remove Audio Track or right-click the audio track and choose Remove Audio Track. Adobe Encore DVD removes the track from the timeline.
  4. To include audio in a menu, see Adding audio to a menu.
