Best way to cut out a sound byte?
[Post New]
Hello,

What is the best way to cut/copy a piece of sound from a sound clip. I want to grab just a certain portion of a sound clip.

I am having a lot of difficulty being accurate. I find when I expand the timeline then hit play - it whips buy really fast making it hard mark and clip the beginning or end of the sound byte I want to grab. So I am having a hard time grabbing the exact audio I want.

Is there a way to slow down the sound clip then the time line is expanded so I can hit pause when I think the sound byte I want started and ends?

Or is there a smarter way to do this?

I did search on Youtube like 'cutting out a sound byte' and 'trimming audio with Power Director'
I found PowerDirector University pretty good, but not exactly what I want.

Thanks,

Mr. V

Easy. Just position the slider where you want manually with the mouse by dragging that slider instead of trying to start and stop it like you are doing now. Mark it however you want.

Hello Veepo,

As tomasc has indicated, it's quite an easy process.

If you're trying to extract a very short snippet, it's helpful to first remove most of the unwanted audio from the timeline. This will give you a clearer view of what you're editing.

Hey - your video clips are AMAZING!!!!

The visualization really helped!

I am looking to grab little bits of voice and music from other clips. Did not think about remove all the other stuff first....I hope there is an undo function!

Thanks again!
