If you try to delete an audio file with linked video, an alert dialog appears, warning that “One
or more linked video objects will also be deleted. Are you sure you want to delete the audio?
You can delete just the audio by first unlinking it from the video.”
Note: Deleting a track from the Audio list removes the associated file from the Media list if
“Automatically manage unused media” is selected in the General pane of Motion Preferences.
Slip and slide audio tracks
When you import an audio file, its start point is placed at the start of the project or at the current
playhead position (depending on the setting of the Create Layers At parameter in Motion
preferences). You can slide an audio track in the Audio Timeline or mini-Timeline so the track
starts playing at a different point in time. And you can slip a trimmed audio track in the Audio
Timeline or mini-Timeline so a different range of media plays at the same location.
