Audio Re-dub, The Second Chance to Change Sound

In the new v3.0 SCREEN2EXE/SCREEN2SWF, a new function called ‘Audio re-dub’ is introduced in editing. This article will tell you why add this function and how it can help us adding/replacing the sound of a program.

The original idea of this function is coming from a very common issue that, when recording a tutorial with sound, it needs operating on computer while making speech at same time. Most people can not focus on both of them, so they either make mistake in sound or in operation. And have to record again and again… painful, isn’t it?

What if we split the recording into 2 steps?

Step 1, focus on recording on-screen part. And maybe you can record a reference sound too, it maybe not good enough for final using, but can help you catch the right beat.

Step 2, give sound to the recorded movie. In this step, focus on recording sound.

Obviously, That is easier now, right? So we developed this ‘Re-dub’ function. When clicking on ‘Start Re-dub’, the preview will start, and recording start too. It will play while recording sound until the movie end. Then the new sound track will replace the precious.

This function is also useful to:

1, Add sound to projects, which are recorded before without sound.

2, Translate the sound part to another language.

3, Editing the sound, replace it with a new one.
