Tone (PB only)


    This effect synthesizes simple tones to create effects such as the low rumble of a submarine, a telephone ringing in the background, sirens, or a laser blast. You can add up to five tones for each effect to create a chord, for example, in a composition. When you apply this effect to audio footage, the dry (unprocessed) audio is ignored, and only the tone plays.

    You can also apply this effect to a layer that has no audio, such as an Adobe Illustrator object, to synthesize audio. When you render the movie, make sure that you select an output format that supports audio--for example, QuickTime or Video for Windows.
