Drag the start point (left edge) of the video portion of the clip to the right, effectively trimming it

with a ripple edit.
The example below shows the video start point of the close-up of the man being dragged to
the right.

This creates a J-shaped split edit, with the start point of the audio overlapping the preceding clip.

4

To complete the split edit, show separate audio for the preceding clip, and do one of the

following:

•

Drag the preceding clip’s end point to the left so that the two audio clips no longer overlap.

•

Adjust the audio (fade) level of either clip so that the audio overlap sounds natural.

5

If you want to turn off the separate audio view to “clean up” the affected clips, do one of the

following:

•

Choose View > Collapse All Clips.

•

Select the clip in the Timeline, and choose Clip > Collapse Audio/Video (or press Control-S).
