To edit this clip into the sequence, you’ll use the Splice-in button on
the Tool palette. Splicing is a film term that refers to joining together
two pieces of film.

Now that you’ve had some experience marking and playing clips, the
instructions will be less specific about which keys to press or buttons to click.
1. In the Project window click the Bins button.
2. Open the Source Clips bin.
3. Open the Narration clip.
4. Go to the head of the clip.
5. Play some or all of the clip.
The clip appears black because it’s audio only.
Using Digital Audio Scrub to Locate a Specific Frame of Audio
The term audio scrub originated in the film industry. It describes the
process of “scrubbing” a magnetic audiotape across the playback
heads to monitor a portion of sound. This process helps isolate
portions of audio to accurately mark edit points.
Your Avid NewsCutter XP system uses a digital version of audio scrub
to locate a specific frame of audio. Use it now to locate the first frame
of audio in the clip.
1. Go to the head (start) of the Narration clip.
2. Press the Caps Lock key to activate digital audio scrub.
3. Play the clip again. Stop at the approximate place where the voice
begins.
4. Use the Step keys to locate the first frame of the voice.
When you use the Step keys, a frame of audio sounds scratchy or
buzzlike. You might need to increase the volume of your speakers
to hear the first frame of audio.
