Audio processing and functions
Detect Silence
• If the selected clip (or the clip played by the selected event) has several edit
versions (i.
e. there are other clips referring to the same audio file), the following
alert will appear:
As you can see, you do not have the option to Replace the original audio file in this
case. This is because that audio file is used by other clips. Select “New File” to have
a new file created in the Audio folder within the project folder.
Detect Silence
The Detect Silence function searches for silent sections in an event and either splits
the event, removing the silent parts from the project, or creates regions corresponding
to the non-silent sections.
• To open the Detect Silence dialog, select one or several audio events in the
Project window or the Audio Part Editor. On the Audio menu, open the Advanced
submenu and select “Detect Silence”.
If you select more than one event, the Detect Silence dialog allows you to process
the selected events successively with individual settings or to apply the same
settings to all selected events at once.
Adjustments in the waveform display
The upper part of the dialog displays a waveform image of the selected audio event. In
case you have selected several audio events, the waveform of the event that you have
selected first is shown. You can make the following adjustments:
• With the zoom slider below the waveform to the right, zoom in and out on the
waveform.
You can also click in the waveform, keep the mouse button pressed, and move the
mouse for zooming. Move the mouse down to zoom in and move it up to zoom out.
!
After a Freeze Edits, the clip refers to a new, single audio file. If you open the Offline
Process History dialog for the clip, the list will be empty.
