Any way to add sound effects(eg rain) as well as soundtrack (music

[Jo M]

I was wanting to add the sound of rain and thunder to my movie, without
disturbing my soundtrack. Is there any way I can do this?

========================================
You have two audio tracks...Audio and Audio/Music...
to view them go to...Timeline View...and be sure to
expand the Video track.

You can add a second sound file to the Audio Music
track. If you wish to add even more layers to your audio...
try the following steps:

If you have sound files in both your Audio and Audio/
Music tracks and wish to add another layer... Save the
project in a movie format...and then reimport the saved
movie file...you can drag it to the timeline and add another
file to the now clear Audio/Music track.

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

====================================
In Timeline view...add your second audio file to the
Audio/Music track...you can drag it right or left to
synch it to the movie.

If you wish to add a third sound file...save the project
as a Movie (File / Save Movie File) and then re-import
the saved movie as a new project and drag it to the timeline.
Now the Audio/Music track will be clear and you can
add another file.
