Using Background Audio (on a video)

Is it just me or did something change? I thought that I used to be able to choose what audio played when I selected "use background audio" on a video that I insert into my order of service? I can select that option but I'm not seeing any way to choose an audio clip to add as my background audio.

I don't think anything changed. It is a little weird though.

'Use background audio' will let whatever background audio is playing, continue to play. Instead of pausing it to play the video's audio.

As for not being able to just add audio to to video, here is a work around that I found:

Add a Content Item before your video and set the background to black. (or white if your video starts with white)
On this item, add an auto advance timer for 1 second.
Also, add a background audio track and set the 'Continue/Repeat Until' setting to 'Stopped'
Then on the service item following your video, click the background audio button and select the audio stop cue.

Now audio will start when you navigate to the Content Item you added, it will then automatically move to your video. If you want to get really fancy, you can add another service item after the video and use this as the stop cue. Then you can set the video to continue to the next slide automatically. Doing this will cause the background audio to stop automatically when the video is over.

Here are a bunch of screenshots with arrows. I hope I made some sense

Thanks!! Yes, this makes perfect sense, and that is how I'll be doing my order this weekend!

Thank you so much!
