Auto Ducking

  • The Auto Ducking feature reduces the volume of the soundtrack/video when the voice plays, depending on the set level.
  • The higher the level, the lesser the volume of the soundtrack.
  • The blue color in the vertical slider indicates the volume when the voiceover is being played, and the orange color indicates the volume of the soundtrack/video when the voiceover isn't being played.

Special Case:

Moving soundtrack to a timestamp of choice.

By default, the soundtrack is added to the beginning of the timeline. Media blocks in the timeline are always left aligned to one another. This means that there cannot be a gap between two consecutive blocks. Adding an empty soundtrack or silence to the timeline will help in cases where the soundtrack is to be played later in the project.

  • Head to Add Media > Murf Library > Search 'Empty' > Import.
  • The soundtrack gets imported to My Uploads as "silence_10_ch2.mp3".
  • Select and add to the timeline.
  • Use "Move Left" or drag the empty track to the beginning of the timeline.
  • Drag the sliders to increase or decrease the track's duration to match the timestamp from which you wish the following audio file to start.
