Audio layers
Section titled “Audio layers”An Audio layer is sound with no picture. Placing an audio file in a composition makes one. To take just the sound of an item that has a picture too, right-click the item in the Project panel and choose Add audio only.
An Audio layer has no visibility switch.
Waveforms
Section titled “Waveforms”In the Timeline, a Footage layer draws its audio waveform in its lane, and clips inside a Sequence layer draw theirs inside their own box. The drawing is trimmed and retimed along with the layer.
There are several options in Edit ▸ Settings ▸ Interface for how to display waveforms.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Waveform frequency stack | Splits the waveform into low, mid, and high frequency bands. |
| Waveforms from the bottom | Draws the waveform from the bottom of the row instead of centred. |
Beat markers
Section titled “Beat markers”Lumit can read a composition’s audio and place a beat marker on each detected beat.
- Composition ▸ Detect beats runs the detection.
- Composition ▸ Clear beat markers removes all beat markers in the composition.
