Creating the Voice-Over
The following procedure provides general guidelines to record audio punch-ins, regardless of your scenario. You should adjust when to add mark IN and OUT points, when to use the Play In/Out button, and when to use the Record button based on your needs.
To use the Audio Punch-In tool:
| 1. | |
Load a sequence in the Timeline.
|
| 2. | |
Select Tools > Audio Punch-In.
|
The Audio Punch-In tool opens.
| 3. | |
Select the input source and input channels that correspond to your
hardware setup, and set other values in the window as appropriate.
|
To select the input channels you want, click and hold the appropriate
Input Channels button.
| 4. | |
Click the Timeline Track pop-up menus, and select an output track.
Select either New Track or an existing track. This allows you to
specify where the Avid system places the audio voice-over in the
Timeline.
|
You can replace part (or all) of an existing track, or you can instruct the
Avid system to create a new track for the voice-over.
| 5. | |
Click the Play In/Out button or press the V key.
|
Loop play begins over the entire sequence. If you set an IN point and
an OUT point, loop play begins from the IN point to the OUT point.
The Play In/Out button blinks bright green while playing.
| 6. | |
When you are ready to start the voice-over, click the Record button or
press the B key.
|
The Record button blinks bright red while recording and the Play
In/Out button is a steady green. The Audio Meter Channel button
becomes an I and changes to orange.
| 7. | |
Continue to click the Record button to record additional voice-overs.
|
During the audio punch-in process, you have the ability to record over
the duration of the sequence or from the IN point to the OUT point.
| 8. | |
Click the Stop button or press the space bar to stop play and recording.
|
Your recorded voice-over is saved and the blue position indicator stops
to get ready for your next voice-over.
 | |
To go to the mark IN point at any time, click the Go to Mark IN button.
|
The system creates one master clip regardless of how many punch-ins
you perform.
The system automatically names the voice-over. You can change the name as you would for any clip (for example, change the name in theábin).
| |
To cancel a punch-in at any time, click the Cancel button or press the Esc
or the period key.
|
| |
There are three Undo functions that can be performed during one session.
The first undo, removes the most recent punch-in, the second undo removes
the second-to-last punch-in, and the third undo removes all the punch-ins.
