315 Chapter 17: Insert Menu - Multitrack View U se the Insert Menu to import wave files, MIDI files, video files, and audio from video files into Adobe Audition's Multitrack View. Both active files (those already opened in Edit View) and inactive (not already opened) files may be easily inserted. Wave from File This command activates Adobe Audition's Open a Waveform dialog. It allows you to choose one or more supported wave files to be placed at the insertion point in the Session Display. You can open several wave files at once by selecting them with the Shift key pressed (for contiguous selection) or Ctrl key pressed (for non-contiguous selection). Multiple waveforms are placed at the insertion point, each on its own track. Note: More information on the Open a Waveform dialog can be found in the File Menu - Edit View dialog. MIDI from File Use this command to initiate the Choose a MIDI file dialog (which is very similar to a standard Windows Open dialog) which can be used to pick a MIDI file (files with a .mid or .rmi extension). Once you press the dialog's Open button, the MIDI file is placed at the Session Display's insertion point. Note: Only one MIDI file may be inserted at a time, but you're welcome to re-run this command as many times as desired to place multiple MIDI files in a session. Video from File This command brings up the Choose a movie file dialog (which strongly resembles a typical Windows Open dialog) so that you can pick one video file for insertion into Adobe Audition's session window. A filmstrip graphic that represents the video appears on one track, while the audio from the video is placed in the track below. If you want to actually see the video's visual data, make sure Adobe Audition's Video Window is open (View > Show Video Window). Note: Keep in mind that once your video file is inserted, the video block and its soundtrack are completely independent entities in the session. Moving or changing one will have no direct effect on the other. Also, the soundtrack wave block is considered to be a newly created audio file since it was extracted from the video, and will be treated as such. Note: Just one video file may be open in Adobe Audition at a time. If you try to insert another one, you'll be prompted to close the currently open video file.
