Editing Sound
Usingthe Soundentry inthe Addmenu enables youtoimport avariety ofdifferent types ofsoundfiles, includ-
ing MP3s, WAV files, and the soundtracks of video files. In the Sound panel of the Sequence Properties shelf,
you can set the sequence strip to display the audio waveform and adjust other qualities of the sound strip, as
shown in
Figure 11-15
. You can also pack the sound file here using the Pack button. When the sound data is
packed into the file, it is no longer dependent on the external copy of the file. This panel also contains a nu-
merical field for controlling the volume of the currently active audio strip and another field for controlling the
left-right stereo panning of the sound. A 0.0 value in this field represents an even stereo sound, 1.0 causes the
sound to come from the right speaker, and -1.0 sends the sound to the left speaker. The Volume, Pitch, and Pan
attributes can be hover-keyframed like everything else in Blender.
