Adding and placing soundfiles

Hello guys,

I´m trying to cut a video with several different kinds of recordings.
There are common videos, images and a timelapse recording (2 Pics per Second). As anticipated, there is no sound.
So I´d like to add some music to that part.
But for me it seems not possible, to drag the audio to the specific clip. Its not event possible, to drag it anywhere.
Am I to stupid, or isnt there any way to place the audio elsewhere then the beginning?

Thanks in advance!

VirbEdit does not support adding music at a specific point in your video project. You can only start at the beginning of your project, or the end of your previous sound track. Until this feature gets added, you could export your video without any sound and use a third party application to add audio when and where you want it.

Can you please suggest some "third party application"?
Many thanks.

Windows Movie Maker is free, and comes pre installed on many Windows machines and has built in support for adding music and other sound effects anywhere in your video

Would like to add a vote for positioning audio soundtrack clips, as well as the ability to fade them out. Many clips may not fit exactly and while I can fade the video, the audio is a sudden cut off. The same goes for the video audio itself, which does not fade out.

Windows Movie Maker is fine, but using it to edit the existing video created in VIRB Edit causes a re-encode with horrible results.

Audio Transitions and Positioning is needed

I agree with deadkenny. Having audio just cut off at the end seems unpolished. Even if the audio was faded in/out using the same parameters as the video transition, that would be nice. And being able to position the audio along the timeline would be very helpful. I have a song that is much longer than the clip and I want the music to start in the middle of the audio clip. I understand that you can use multiple tools to get this job done, but it seems like something that should be bundled in.

ffmpeg

I just had this same issue. I wanted to delay the start of the music until after the starting beeper went off. I found a post on an unrelated site that led me to this solution:

get ffmpeg. it is a freely available tool that supports most OS. I ran this command:

ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=44100:cl=mono -t 7 -q:a 9 -acodec libmp3lame out.mp3

(the 7 is the 7 seconds of silence I wanted. change this to what length of time you want to shift the audio) this created a 7 second completely silent clip. I added that as my first clip. and then added the next clip afterwards. I was hoping that virb edit had the ability to do this and I just couldn't figure it out but I guess not. maybe include this in the "todo" list?

I am going to create a series of silent mp3 files for the amount of time I want to delay. mine movies are all around 2 minutes so this should be pretty easy. it will let me stay in VIRB edit and do everything from that point forward.. I hope this helps.
