Step Nine:
Okay, now that our clips in are order,
let's add some music (and make sure we
like how the order flows once we drop
a background music track in). Go to the
Timeline panel, click-and-hold on the
little musical notes icon to the right of
Audio Track, and from the pop-up menu
that appears, choose
Add Audio
. Select
your background music track (we'll use
the same one we used back on page
392), click Open, and it's added to your
movie (audio tracks appear in green).
This music track is actually around 4 min-
utes long, so go ahead and trim this
back to around 1 minute (audio tracks
trim the same way video tracks do, but
since there is no video, instead of a pop-
up video preview, you get a pop-up with
the length of time at the current end
position, so just watch that number until
you get down to around an End at 1:00,
as shown at the bottom here).
Step 10:
You'll probably want the music to fade
out at the end (rather than just cutting off
abruptly), and you do that by clicking on
that little triangle at the end of the audio
track. That brings up the Audio settings
dialog with controls for when the music
fades in and out. Choose a second or two
before the end of your movie for the Fade
Out, then click anywhere outside the dia-
log to close it and accept your Fade Out.
