Select the Music for the Soundtrack


To enhance the mood of this clip, we'll add music to our project. If you have installed the trial version of SmartSound Quicktracks, you will be able to select the song we'll be using directly from the Quicktracks window from within Premiere Elements. If for some reason you won't be using Quicktracks, we have supplied you with the same track, generated from QuickTracks, on the DVD that came with this book.

Tip

The Quicktracks music file, SmartSound - Underwater - Ascent [00;31;24].wav, has been added to your list of media for this project.

Important

If Quicktracks has also added SmartSound - Underwater - Ascent [00;31;24].wav to the Timeline, you may need to move it to the Audio 2 track. If so, do that now and adjust the clip so that it is aligned with the beginning of the Audio 2 track, as shown in the illustration on page 78. In addition, if the insertion of the music track created gaps, simply right-click on each gap and select Delete and Close Gap when it appears.
