In-Depth Information
If you're working with an audio file that isn't
attached to an image, its playback controls
will appear in an HUD over the image in
Viewer. To change your audio file's in and out
points, click Trim, and Aperture displays in
and out handles around your audio file that
you can click and drag to trim your file. Click
Trim again to confirm your changes.
9.6 An audio attachment's playback controls are
in the Metadata Inspector.
Attaching and
detaching audio files
If you use your camera's built-in microphone to record a voice memo, it will most likely be auto-
matically attached to an image. But if you use it to record an audio file or use a separate audio
recording device, you will just have an audio file, such as an MP3 or AAC file. It's possible to associ-
ate this audio file with a specific image or to detach an audio file from an image so that you can
leave them as separate files or attach them to a different image.
Attaching audio files
There are two ways to attach an audio file to an image. The first way involves attaching an audio
file that you've already imported into Aperture with an image in the same project. Do the
following:
1. Select the image to which you want to attach the audio file.
2. Click the Metadata menu and choose Attach Audio File. Aperture opens the Attach
Audio File sheet, as shown in Figure 9.7.
3. Select the audio file to attach.
4. Click Attach. Your audio file disappears from Browser because it's now attached to the
selected image from Step 1.
If you're attaching an existing audio file to an image, the two items must be in the
same project or the audio file won't appear in the Attach Audio File sheet.
Caution
The second way to attach an audio file involves bringing a new audio file from the Finder into
Aperture and attaching it to an image. To do so, simply select an image and display it in Viewer.
