Using Embedded Audio<br />

Some video and movie files contain an audio track in addition to the video. In<br />

this case, the sound will play from the same display computer(s) as the video<br />

does. If you don’t want this, cut the sound track out of the movie and place it in<br />

a file of its own, thereby ending up with two media files; one containing the<br />

video and one the audio. This allows you to place them separately in<br />

<strong>WATCHOUT</strong>, making the sound play from any computer. You’ll need two<br />

separate cues along the timeline to start them at the same time.<br />

You can use QuickTime Pro or any QuickTime compatible video editing software<br />

to split the audio and video tracks of a movie into two separate movies.<br />

In QuickTime Player, open the<br />

composite movie then choose<br />

“Extract Tracks” on the Edit<br />

menu.<br />

This extracts the sound track<br />

into its own movie, which you<br />

can then save.<br />
