Hi -

Movie Maker is great, but it's audio controls appear to be
lacking. I want to have background music in my video, but
I cannot see how to control things like fade in or out or
volume with any kind of precision.

There are no controls on the audio/music track in the
storyboard that let's me visually see where volume changes
or fade in and out occurs, so I cannot precisely
synchronize with the video and audio track.

Any tips about how better to control the audio settings?
Are there any add-ons I can buy that will help with this?

Seems like you've looked closely enough at it. Third party add-ons are
available for video effects and transitions, but not for audio track clips.

The Editing... General page of www.papajohn.org includes a screen shot of
the audio tracks, when they are viewed in a such as way to see the changes
in volume.

The fade in and out occurs in less than a second when you opt for that. For
more sophisticated audio controls, you'll need to use other software.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look at higher-end programs.
