Assignment 12b

I have not completed my final project yet, but I can discuss the process on creating a DVD that I used for my midterm project, and for some of the videos that I am preparing to use for my Pop Culture presentation.
I used Premier Elements 4.0 because besides using pictures I added video segments to my project. For my midterm project I have to unlink video and sound, so I can delete the video audio and add Engines of Ingenuity original sound file.
This Adobe software gives several options to share a created project and one of them is to burn a DVD. The hardware I used was the DVD burner in my laptop. The rendering of the file took a while because of the file size, but the DVD plays perfect on my computer or my DVD player.

Assignment 9 Mix audio files

Here is the url to my audio file:

Download assignment 9 Ltorres.mp3



I used Goldwave to mix my files. First I downloaded Goldwave and a file that contains a speech of president Kennedy and the civil rights. For the background music I used American Anthem song that I have in my music files. I imported both files to Goldwave and trimmed the speech sound to around 1 minute since it was 9 minutes long. Also I have to increase the volume in a short area of this file, followed directions given to mix two files and reduced the music volume so it will not overpowered the speech. The site where we uploaded the file gives several options to post it to our blog, I chose the url to download it and the embedded audio player.
