STUDIO
LIQUID
Performing L- and J-cuts
To perform these cuts, lock the audio Track.
As in Studio, audio fades can also be subse-
quently applied in Avid Liquid to create smooth
audio fade-ins, fade-outs or transitions.
See page 44.
Unlinking audio and video clips
Until now, you’ve been editing video and audio
together on the Timeline (for example, when
trimming). Now click the button so it’s no
longer yellow. Video and audio clips that actually
belong together (original audio) can then be
selected and edited separately.
Audio clips on separate tracks
You don’t have to do this but it helps improve
clarity: Click (and unlink) one of the audio clips
involved and press
CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW.
Trimming audio clips
Make sure Overwrite Style is activated. Drag
one of the clips by the red handle until you’ve
achieved the desired J or L overlap.
Can’t trim (drag) the audio?
Then you’ll first have to trim the entire clip (video
and audio) a little (if desired, in the Trim Editor).
Or trim the video and shift the video and audio
( activated) together to create the overlap.
12 Trimming Video and Audio: Split Editing
What are known in Studio as “L-cuts” and “J-cuts” are no problem for Avid Liquid. You simply need to
unlink the video and audio clips.
