Auditioning and adding SFX to the Timeline
Now that we have imported SFX to the Fairlight Sound Library and created our own Sound Library, let us now add some of our imported SFX to our project:
- Select the audio track you want to add the SFX to by clicking on its header. The audio track header will turn from black to mid-gray to show that it is selected (Figure 5.17).
Figure 5.17: Audio Track Header
- Move your Timeline playhead (Figure 5.17) to where you want the SFX to start. This is usually where you see the visual source of the sound in the Timeline viewer, (e.g., a door closing SFX should start on the Timeline when a door closes in the Viewer).
- Open the Sound Library panel (Figure 5.18).
- In the search bar of Sound Library (Figure 5.18), type the description of the SFX you are looking for, (e.g.,
footsteps). Resolve will search the name and description of the SFX files and list matching SFX entries as you type your search term...
