adding sound to a clip

[lobbiesforme]

Hello all:

I am a Video studio PROx4 user. Recently, I had some old 8mm films transferred to video and now I'm editing them in Videostudio prox4.

I have a few clips where I want to add sound; HOwever, when I drag the sound clip to the Voice track or the music track, the clip remains silent. The original clip seems to have a audio track already. I can split the audio and the delete the track from the voice track, and then unmute it and re-submit the music track I want to use but it somehow doesn't do the trick.

Does anyone know what I need to do here? thanks!

Hi

I assume the sound clip is in the library, you should be able to play this clip from the library, does it play.?

[lobbiesforme]

yes, the sound clip plays without any problems.

Can you please right click on the sound clip either in the timeline or the library window, and copy its Properties here... Then we might have a better idea of what to suggest.

hello, here is a JPG of the properties for that clip.

hello again:

Well, i figured it out. Apparently, my sound clip was longer than the video clip. I shortened the audio, and all is fine.

Please forgive me; I am still a bit new to the VideoStudio program; but its great!
