Removing Vocals; Creating Titles - Ulead MEDIASTUDIO PRO 8 User Manual

Removing vocals

You can apply the Vocal Reduction filter to remove the vocal from a sound track.
To remove vocal from audio:
1. Select the audio clip in the Timeline.
2. Select Clip: Audio Filters.
3. In the Audio Filters dialog box, select Vocal Reduction from the Available
Filters list.
4. Click Add>> then adjust the Strength and Vivid mode settings in the Vocal
Reduction dialog box.
Vocal removal or reduction is an art, and it has a trade-off. Usually, there are
musical instruments at the same pan location (position in the stereo sound
field) as the vocal to be removed. Vocal Reduction gives you control over how
much bass and treble music frequencies you keep that are at the same
location as the vocal.

Creating titles

Adding text to your video is essential in many situations. Titles often appear in the
beginning and at the end of the movies. You can also put titles along the action to
complement on-screen action.
Title clips are treated as any other media clip in your project. They can be altered
with any of the transformations and effects from MediaStudio arsenal.
To create a title clip:
1. Place any clip (video, image or color) into the Video1 track. This is the
background for your titles.
2. Click Insert: Insert Title Clip (alternatively, right-click anywhere in Timeline
and select Title Clip from the drop-down dialog box).
3. Double-click the text editing area in the upper right of the dialog box.
4. Type the text that you want in your title in the Title text box.
5. Adjust the settings in the left pane of the dialog to achieve the desired look and
apply animation.
