Audio Player
The Audio Player input source plays audio files in your production — background music, sound effects, intro/outro music, and audio beds. It’s an audio-only source with no video output.
Adding an audio source
- Tap + on an empty source slot
- Select Audio Player
- Choose an audio file from your files
Playback controls
The same controls as the Media Player:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Play | Start or resume playback |
| Pause | Pause at the current position |

Audio in the mixer
The audio player’s output appears in the mixer at its slot number. Adjust the volume independently — for background music, you’ll typically want it quieter than your main camera audio.
