stream.

each line on the clip ruler.
Increase Increment

Soundtrack

thumbnail list window adds them to the movie
soundtrack. Once added, sound clips can be dragged
to the desired position within the media stream.
Placing your mouse pointer at either end of a sound
clip makes it possible to trim the play duration of the
sound and double-clicking the sound clip opens the
sound editor, whereby you can also Trim the sound
and control other aspects related to this particular
sound.
