Setting an Audio Region

You can use a region of an audio file in your project instead of the entire file. To do this, use the Start and Duration fields in the Audio panel. The Start field defines the beginning point of the audio clip, while the Duration determines the total length of the audio clip.

The new audio track, by default, starts at the first frame of the current operator. For example, if you set the Start field to 00:00:00:30, the audio starts from its 30-second mark when you start the video playback from the beginning (00:00:00:00).

To set an audio region:

1. Show the Audio panel.

To set the timecode in the audio file where you want the audio to start, set the Start field, or click and drag the black line on the left end of the waveform.



2. To specify how long you want the audio to play, set the Duration field, or click and drag the black line on the right end of the waveform.

Note: If the audio is linked to an operator, the audio duration cannot be set to longer than the duration of the linked operator. See Linking Audio.

3. To limit audio playback to the specified region, enable Play Region.
