Chapter 7. using audio

Adding background music that your audience enjoys is the easiest way to help them enjoy watching your movies; worst case, if they don't like what they're seeing, their toes will be tapping.

Premiere Elements makes it easy to add background music to your projects. Then, you can either mute the audio captured with the camcorder so that your viewers can hear only the music, or mix the two tracks so the audience can hear both. In my project I'll do both.

This 11-minute project has five background music tracks (including the one inserted beneath the slide show). That's about right in my book (and this is my book).
