Working with a Video’s Audio

You can edit the audio clip of the video’s audio as with any audio clip in the project.
You can move and resize the video’s audio, split and join it, or open it in the File Editor
for processing or analysis. You can also change the name or icon of the track containing
the video’s audio and use the controls in the track header to adjust volume and pan,
mute or solo the track, change the time format, or enable the track for recording.

If you remove the video from the project, the audio clip of the video’s audio is not
deleted, but remains in the project. You can delete the clip separately if you want to
remove it.

Using the Time Display and Time Ruler with Video

When you import a video file into a Soundtrack Pro project, the Time display and Time
ruler adjust to show the timecode format of the video. The Time display and Time ruler
can display time in seconds, frames, drop frames, or non-drop frames. You can choose
the format for timecode display, and can set the video frame rate for projects not
containing a video file. You can also set the default frame rate for new projects in the
Project Preferences pane.

To choose the units shown in the Time display and Time ruler:
