Adjusting the Sound Length and Timing
T-SBFND-009-012
Most of the editing must be done to your sound before it is imported into Storyboard Pro. There are however, a few tools to help make minor adjustments.
You can snip the beginning and/or end of the sound clip.
You can play back the sound to hear the edited version of the clip. The original sound clip is not modified. You can drag the edges of the edited clip to expand it to its original length.
NOTE: Verify that sound is enabled and that the audio track you want to work with is not muted. You may find it easier to edit sound when the waveform is visible.
How to adjust the length and timing of a sound clip
- Do one of the following:
- Position your cursor at the starting edge of a clip. Drag to the right to shorten it at the desired timing. As you drag, the timing is displayed.
The beginning of the original sound file is cut from playback.
- Position your cursor at the ending edge of a clip. Drag to the left to shorten it at the desired timing. As you drag, the timing is displayed.
The end of the original sound file is cut from playback.
NOTE: When trimming a sound clip with volume keyframes, volume keyframes that are left before the beginning or after the end of the sound clip will be preserved so as to keep the existing volume envelope.
