Audio and video cut simultaneously.
Instead of cutting the audio and the video
simultaneously, you might decide to let the speaker’s
voice overlap into the following scene. This makes it
clear to the audience that the new scene they are now
watching illustrates whatever explanation the speaker
has been providing.
Notice that the video and audio clip boundaries in the
completed cut form an L-shape.
Audio cuts after video. The resulting “L” shape is
outlined in this illustration.
There are many effective uses of this technique. It can
be considered whenever the second clip’s video serves
to illustrate the first clip’s audio.
To perform an L-cut:
1. Adjust the Timeline so you can easily count off the
number of frames or seconds you want to overlap.
