Editing Your M edia
You can also use it to quickly remove unwanted portions of a media clip, or if you
want to insert other media between the two portions.
Unlinking Video/Audio Clips
When you add a video clip with audio to the timeline, its audio portion is visible on
its corresponding audio track. You can unlink the two portions of the clip, allowing
you to modify them separately, remove one completely from the timeline, or use it
elsewhere in your project.
To unlink the audio from a video clip, right-click on it in the timeline and then
select Unlink Video and Audio. To link the two files back together, select them
both, right-click on them, and then select Link Video and Audio.
Trimming Video and Audio
Clips
Use the trim functions to remove unwanted portions from your video and audio
clips. You can use the Single Trim function to trim off the beginning and/or ends
of a video clip, or the Multi Trim function to remove multiple portions at once. The
Trim Audio function lets you trim audio visually, using its waveform.
