With the help of the Sound Wizard you can record spoken comments and sounds via a microphone connected to the PC. There are two ways to use the Sound Wizard: •With the Toolbox object Sound recording you insert a Sound object into your project, for which you start a microphone recording directly with the insertion. •Use the Wizards menu item to call up the Sound Wizard, which shows you the images in your project that you can add a sound comment to. |
 Sound recording When working with the Sound recording object, you get a Sound object that you can move and arrange freely in your project. When recording via the Sound Wizard, the sound file is not directly visible in the Timeline, Storyboard or the Image list, it is linked to the image. |
