Step Five:
Besides your background music track,
you can add a narration track (or a voice-
over track), or even sound effects (maybe
a car revving its engine?). To add another
audio track, click on the music notes icon
again (to the left of your existing music
track), and choose New Audio Track
(as shown here at top). This adds a blank
audio track below your background music
track, and it will be empty until you go
back under that same pop-up menu and
choose Add Audio , then find a narration
or voice-over track to add. Here, I chose a
voice-over track, and you'll see it appear
in the new audio track right below the
background track (seen here in the cen-
ter). If you were to click the Play icon right
now, our background music would start,
but our voice-over would start immedi-
ately, as well. If you want your voice-over
to start a little later (maybe after a few
seconds of background music), just click-
and-drag the voice-over clip to the right
(don't try to trim it, you want to move the
whole clip), until you get to the point in
time you want it to start (at the bottom
here, you can see I dragged it over so it
will start around the 7-second mark).
Step Six:
If you are going to have a voice-over
track, you'll probably want the volume
of the music to lower once the talking
starts (this is called “ducking” in the
video world). To do that, click on the
background music track, then click-and-
drag your playhead over to a second or
so before the point where your voice-
over starts. Now, click on the Split at
Playhead icon (it looks like a pair of scis-
sors and is circled in red here) to split
your background music into two sec-
tions. Then, Right-click on this second
section and, in the Audio settings dialog,
you can lower the volume from 100%
(full volume) to maybe 50% or 60% (as
shown here).
