*****Arrow button switches location of gallery and Event Library ****The processes of stabilization and analyzing video for the presence of people can take a long time.
*Project browser, select the audio clip you want to give priority, select the Ducking checkbox, and then move the slider to reduce the volume of competing audio by a specific percentage.
*For example, if the selected audio is a voiceover clip youve recorded in your project, by ducking the other audio tracks, the voiceover can be heard clearly above the competing sounds from background music and sound effects. **To change the duration of the title, click on the blue icon and drag on one of its edges (a title can span several clips). To delete a title, select it and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
