Music

Instruments, feel and volume, performing the music, and turning it off

MUS-1MusicAll pages ↓

Camcorder has no music library. The app plays a score under your film, made for its length and its cuts, and you steer it. The music note is the button under the film.

Instrument

Turn the ring around the music note, or tap an instrument on it. The choices are NONE, PIANO, GUITAR, HARP, BEATS and AIR. NONE leaves the film with only its own sound. With NONE on, a tap on the note while the film plays picks an instrument for you.

Instrument sound options

Tap the instrument at the top of the ring. Each one has five.

Feel and volume

Drag the music note: farther out is louder and livelier, around is the mood. Near the center the music is very soft. Each project keeps its own setting.

Perform the music

Double tap the note, then drag as it plays. Red records, yellow plays it back.

  • The note is white while the app plays your setting by itself.
  • A double tap starts recording your movement, and Recording Movement shows for a moment.
  • It keeps recording wherever you leave the note, until you tap the note, pause, or reach the end.
  • Yellow plays back what you performed, and the note moves by itself.
  • To fix a stretch, push the note while it plays and perform over it.

To turn the music off for a stretch, hold the note still at the center while recording. It snaps there and goes hollow, and the music fades so voices come through.

Back to automatic

Double tap the note again. The card says This deletes what you performed. Delete puts the music back the way you set it. This is the only way to clear a performance.

Where it goes

When you export or upload a film, its music goes with it, performance included. An exported selection of clips has no music.
