A perfect presentation not only includes impressive effects, but also background music. The Timeline provides its own sound track for Background music.
Click this sound track and the Background music menu is opened.
By means of the plus icon you can insert music onto that menu.
If you click the song, you can make further adjustments.
You can insert one or also multiple tracks. These are then listed below one another in the list. You can change the sequence by clicking the track and moving it in the list with the mouse button pressed down. |

A track can be gently faded in. In this case state how many second the fading in should last until the full volume should be achieved. |
|
Songs can also be gently faded out. In other words, they are getting more and more quiet prior to the end. Here set the time, how long prior to the end the fading out should start. |
|
Specify here at what volume the track should be played back. |
|
You can delay the start of a track. Specify here the length of the delay. |
|
If you do not want the following track to begin immediately, specify here the length of the break between songs. |
|
It is also possible to only play a section of a track. Here you determine from what point in the song playing should start. For example, 20 secs -> The song begins at the 20th second. The first 20 seconds of the song are not played. 0 -> From the beginning. |
|
Here you can determine when the song should end. In that respect, the timestamp in the song is to be selected again. If you want to end the song after 2 minutes, enter 120 secs here. |
Example: Starting and final positions
You wish to only play 1 minute of the song. However, the part of the song which you would like to play back begins at the 45th second.
Starting position = 45 secs
Final position = 105 secs
You will see the music in its own track in the Timeline. The sound wave display will have alternating colors to make it easier to see when a title starts and ends.
The volume of the background music can be set individually. In the next chapter you will learn how this is done.
