Voice-Over Narration
Audio punch-in allows you to record up to two channels of audio directly into the Timeline for voice-over narration. This feature saves you the extra steps of recording the narration to tape first, capturing, and then editing the audio clip into the sequence. The narrator can also watch the sequence and hear playback of edited sound tracks while recording.
You can "rehearse" the voice-over while you listen to the sequence. The voice-over is not recorded while you are rehearsing. You can continue to rehearse until you are satisfied with the results. While recording, you can watch and listen to the sequence and hear playback of edited sound tracks.
