Time for action – adding an audio track to Blender
Now, it's time for an introduction to the Video Sequence Editor, ironically, by adding an audio file. You will learn how to position the audio file on the timeline and display a representation of the waveform to help you in timing your animation in the following steps:
- Put your cursor on the boundary between 3D View and the Timeline windows and get to the double arrowhead. Use your mouse and hold it while you move the boundary up so that the Timeline window is about three times as tall as usual.
