Making pictures sing


Video tells a story all by itself; even though your short film lacks any kind of sound, it would still get its message across to the viewer. However, that's not good enough for a Hotshot book, so in this section you will add some simple audio effects to the Timeline. These audio effects should have been gathered inside the Audio folder on your designated video drive as laid out in the instructions given in the Prepare for Lift Off section at the start of this project. If you skimmed that section a bit, but want to add sound, then go back and read it again. Return when you have completed the suggested preparations and gathered enough media to complete this task.

This section shouldn't take you long to complete; it's just going to be a matter of drag-and-drop, with a little bit of trimming. But it's still worth doing as sound adds an extra dimension to your projects, which is worth going the extra distance to achieve.
