Can you use this feature when you have some audio in the "Sound effect"track.

I remember some =thing here showing files in the Sound effect track but can't find it now.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about a slide show presentation or do you want to shorten a video clip to the length of a music clip?   Why are you using the Sound Effects track and not the music track?



Perhaps a little more detail in what you want to do?

Doing a mixed photo and video on VW.  Alternating the music on music track and Sound effect track.  I wanted to use "Fix video to audio" function.  This was was not available.

Thanks

I tried and it appears that function (Fit Video to Audio) works only if you have one audio track.

The workaround is to use the Sound Editor to mix the two audio files that you are using and export the modified file. Use the new modified file as your single audio in VW. You can then use the "Fit to Audio" functionality.

I don't ever remember being able to use the Fit video to audio function with video, in any version of EMC.  You can try what malatekid suggests.  I would be interested to see if it works.

I try to embed a short video (*.wmv) within still images(pictures). And the duration of the wmv file is shorter than the duration of the audio.

The Fit to Audio works provided the duration of the video (the actual vide clip) is shorter than the duration of the audio itself. So it leaves the duration of the video as it is and adjusts the duration of the rest of the images/transitions to accomplish the Fit Video to Audio.

Yes, you can do it that way, but not the other way around.  And that is only good, if you don't want to hear the audio of the native track of the video.
