3. Select a Variation of the selected music. Click Play to listen to the music with
the variation applied.
4. Set the Duration for the music. Alternatively, select Fit to project length to
make the music clip the same length as your project.
5. Click OK, then insert the music into an audio track in the Timeline.
Inserting Video Editor projects
You can insert another Video Editor project (.DVP) file into the current project by
clicking Insert: Project File, or by dragging a project file from the Production
Library or Windows Explorer and dropping it into the Timeline.
Before insertion, you can choose first how DVP projects will be inserted into the
Timeline through the Edit tab of the Preferences dialog box.
By default, a DVP project will be inserted as a Virtual clip. That is, all the media
files, transitions and effects in it will be combined as a single clip and placed at the
insertion point in the Main Timeline. Once the virtual clip has been placed in the
timeline, you can treat it as any other ordinary video clip. For details on what
operations can be applied to virtual clips,
page 57.
If you prefer to have the DVP project expanded on the timeline, select Part of
current project from the Append project as drop-down menu. In this case, all
of the media clips, transitions, and effects contained in it will be completely placed
at the insertion point in the Main Timeline and you can replace or edit them.
Push Away insertion
Push Away insertion is related to Ripple Editing and controls how inserted clips
affect other clips in the Timeline. You must be in No Ripple mode for this to work
and it only works on a single track. The key to this technique is to press [SHIFT]
while inserting clips.
To use Push Away insertion:
1. Click the No Ripple button, then click the Insert Video File button in the
Timeline Toolbar.
2. In the Insert Video File dialog box, select a clip (click it once) then click Open.
3. While you press (and hold) the [SHIFT] key, place your clip in a video track.
Push Away insertion also works on clips that are being dragged from one location
to another or that are being pasted into the Timeline.
