Adjust the volume of video slides
In Aperture, you can add video clips as individual slides in your slideshow. You work with video clips in the Slideshow Editor and Browser in the same way that you work with photos. However, there are additional controls in the Selected Slides pane of the Slideshow Editor for setting the volume of a video clip. For example, you can mute the audio clip in the main audio track while the video clip is playing. You can also change the duration of the fade-in and fade-out of the video clip’s audio to smooth out abrupt transitions between the video clip and the audio clip in the slideshow’s main audio track.
Note: To trim a video clip or duplicate it so that you can use multiple portions of it in the same slideshow, see Work with audio and video in the Viewer.
