Import a sound

The QuickTime movie has no sound track. You can make the scene more interesting by adding sound to accompany
the video. The easiest way to add sound to a Director movie is to import a sound cast member and place it in one of
the sound channels in the Score. Whenever the playhead plays frames that include sound sprites, the sound plays.
You can also play sounds by using Lingo instead of the sound channels, which you will learn later in this tutorial.

Add a sound to the Score

Now you can add the sound to the Score. Because sounds are heard and not seen, they do not appear on the Stage.
You place sound sprites directly in the Score.
