Viewing and Removing Audio Files
Once you've got audio in your movie, you can easily check to see the
status of all the audio files in a single place. You don't have to open
each individual element's audio properties window. You can play the
files, or you can remove them from your movie. You can also export
the MP3 audio files you've created in Captivate for use with other
programs.
Note: You cannot change the audio properties from this view. To
make changes to the audio, such as replacing a file or adjusting tim-
ing, go to the audio file properties as described in the section called
“Editing Audio Files.”
To view the audio for your whole movie, follow these steps:
1.
From the Audio menu, select
Advanced audio
to display the
Advanced Audio Management window.
