i carefully looked at the extract method and found it not very useful.
the extract is done on the whole item in the library. it is NOT done on a clip in the project. so you could not do, for example, find a small speech in a play video, ie brutus in julius cesear, put clip markers on the start and end, select the speech clip, and extract it to an audio editor or send in an email.
I think there may be some confusion here regarding the exact steps.
If you want to extract and work with a section of audio, you can indeed do so from the timeline: simply right-click on the desired clip and choose
Edit Audio... If you have AudioDirector installed, the existing audio track from that clip will be replaced by a .wav file after the editing is finished and a copy of the produced .wav file will also be placed in the media library. No further action is needed to email that .wav file or open it in another program. It's been fully extracted.
If you select Audio Editor to edit the audio from a timeline clip, the changes will be made directly to the clip and there will
not be a separate audio clip at that point.
To get one (or to create an audio-only clip from any timeline clip even without using an audio editor), simply use the Range Select tool to select the entire clip (you may want to move it to the end of the project so it's fully isolated from the other project clips), and then click on
Produce Range and choose one of the audio profiles under the music notes icon.
