| The final, and necessary, touch to a good opening credits sequence is to have some music playing "under." On the DVD that accompanies this book we've provided you with just the thing, a mellow little tune called jazz-theme.wav. This is a a small sample from the SmartSound Quicktracks collection (www.smartsound.com). We'll add this to the Audio 1 track and adjust the volume a bit so that it's not too overpowering, and our sequence is complete. Add a Little Music for the Final Touch - Click the Get Media from button on the Media panel to access the Get Media from view, if it's not already active.
- Select DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader.
- When the Media Downloader displays, click the Advanced Dialog button to switch to Advanced mode.
- Select the jazz-theme.wav clip for this project.
- Click the Get Media button. Premiere Elements copies the jazz-theme.wav clip from the DVD onto your hard drive and adds it to the Available Media list for this project.
- From the Media panel, drag and drop the jazz-theme.wav clip onto the Audio 1 track on the Timeline.
- Grab the tail end of the jazz-theme.wav clip and resize it so that it matches the length of the video clips.
- In the Properties panel, adjust the overall volume of the clip by typing -12 dB (note the minus sign) in the Clip Volume control of Volume effect.
- Click the Fade Out button for the Volume property.
