19 – 424 The Audio Montage
Resizing by trimming
If you need to remove unnecessary material at the beginning and end of a
clip, this can be quickly done by trimming:
1. Make a selection range within the clip (see “Selection ranges” on page
413), encompassing the audio material you want to keep in the clip.
2. Right-click to open the clip speed menu.
3. Select Trim to selection.
The clip is resized to contain only the selected audio.
Sliding the audio in a clip
If you want to adjust the position in the audio file to which the clip refers,
you can do this by “sliding” the audio within the clip, without resizing it:
1. Position the pointer over the clip, in the mouse zone to which you have as-
signed the “Select/Move clip” function (by default the lower or bottom
clip area).
2. Press [Ctrl] and [Alt].
The pointer takes on the shape of a double arrow.
3. Drag left or right to slide the audio source.
• It is also possible to assign a separate mouse zone to this function.
This is done on the Edit view : Options menu, by selecting “Slide audio source” for the de-
sired zone on the Mouse zones submenu. In this case, you don’t need to press [Ctrl]-[Alt] in
step two above. Be careful not to slide the audio by accident, though.
