Adding or editing image audio
ACDSee supports images with embedded audio and images with
associated audio files.
Images with embedded audio are TIFF or JPEG images with audio
saved inside the image file. You can embed audio inside an image
file by adding audio to the image.
Images with associated audio are image files paired with
separate WAV audio files. Image files and their associated audio
files contain the same file name and are located in the same
folder. You can associate any WAV file with an image file by giving
them the same name and placing them in the same folder, or by
adding audio to the image.
|
|
If you move or rename either an image file or the
audio file associated with it, both files must be renamed and in
the same folder or they will no longer be associated. This does not
apply to images with embedded audio.
|
To add audio to an image:
-
Do one of the following:
-
Select an image in the Browser.
-
Open an image in the Viewer.
-
From the Tools menu, select Image Audio | Edit.
-
In the Edit Audio dialog box, click the
Browse button.
-
Select a WAV file and click Open.
-
If you would like to truncate or clip the
audio file, select the Use markers check box, and drag the
Start marker and
End marker sliders. Do one
of the following.
-
Click the Truncate button to remove the beginning
and end of the audio file (the sections outside of the start and
end markers).
-
Click the Clip button to remove the section of
the audio file inside the start and end markers.
-
To hear a preview of the file, click the
Play button.
-
Click OK.
Recording audio to an image
You can record your own audio files and add them to your images.
When you add audio to a JPG or TIFF image, the audio is embedded in
the image. With other file formats, the audio file is associated
with the image; the audio file is saved in the same folder and is
played when the image is viewed.
