Importing audio is all done from the Explorer Panel into the Timeline Panel.

The radio play is the recorded script including each line of dialog, sound effects, and music to be used in the project. You don’t have to create a radio play before using Filmatick although it’s strongly suggested.

  1. Import Audio

    1. On the Explorer screen, click on the Import Audio button

    2. An explorer window will open. Click on the correct file you wish to import.

      1. Currently, FILMATICK only supports .mp3 files

    3. A new window will open, asking you where you want to put the audio file.

      1. Under Source name, you can change the name of the audio if you wish.

      2. Under Audio Track, you can choose where you want to put the file in the folder structure.

        1. Choose between None, Dialog, Sound Effects, or Music

    4. You can choose to import more audio and continue these steps or move on to the next steps to bring the audio into the timeline.

  2. Add audio files to the Timeline

    1. Filmatick acts similar to other Editing packages where you can select audio files from the Media Library and drag them into individual audio tracks on the timeline.

    2. Although Filmatick has Tracks named for Dialog, Sound Effects, and Music, the user can put the audio files wherever they wish.

  3. Edit files in the timeline

    1. Filmatick is not as robust as NLEs but the user has the ability to extend, shrink, cut, move all, and delete files.

Note

If you import a piece of dialog with the same name, a warning message will pop up in the module. You may ignore it and use the newer piece of audio if you wish.
