fading sound

[markmh]

Does anyone know a way of fading sound out then back in again during the playing of a music track in a movie in MX. The sound starts at the beginning of a movie, runs for 2000 odd frames, but part the way through an Mpeg with sound comes in for about 100 frames, its at that point I want the backing track to fade out then back in again once the mpeg has finished....

thanks in advance

Is the sound in the main movie a soundObject, or is it set as a "stream" timeline sound?

Hi
Thanks for helping, the movie runs along the timeline on its own layer if thats what you mean. It was just imported onto a keyframe from wherever.

I was talking about your main backing sound track?

I'm sorry I don't understand your question. It was just a wav file or similar, that I imported. then dropped on a keyframe.

Well that's the sound you want to fade down when the video plays right?
Then it's either got to be a seperate soundObject so that you can control it's volume independently from the video's sound, or set it as a Sync "stream" sound so that you can physically fade it down when the video plays, and back up again when the video finishes...

A soundObject would probably easier to set up...
