7 Press Delete to delete the video portion of this clip.
Note: Instead of deleting the video portion of the two-pop, you can also replace it with
a more appropriate video generator, such as a circle shape generator.
8 Cut the stereo beep and paste it 2 seconds beyond the beginning and end of each
audio track you will export.
Step 3: If necessary, arrange audio clips so they don’t overlap
When you export audio files, there is no automatic way to include “handles,” or extra
audio at the beginning and end of each audio clip. If you want extra audio before and
after the In and Out points of each audio clip, you need to manually change the In and
Out points of each audio clip in your sequence.
Note: When you add handles, be careful not to move the placement of clips in your
sequence. In some cases, you may need to move your audio clips on two adjacent
tracks to create an overlapping checkerboard pattern of audio clips that
include handles.
Step 4: Remove audio filters and delete any audio level or pan keyframes
To remove any dynamic mixing, remove all audio filters from your audio clips, flatten
the audio level overlays to 0 decibels (dB), and remove any stereo panning you may
have introduced.
Only the audio portion
remains as your sync beep.
This shows the sync beep
at the beginning of an
audio track.
