Cutting footage…

[Johannes Floor]

If you cut the footage in the video track, just make sure you cut the audio in the audio track underneath it aswell. For example, put the your timeline marker at the position where u want to cut your video footage. Select your razor (c) and click on that video clip at the marker to to cut the clip. Cut the audio also at the same place where you have placed your marker.
Bottomline is that if you cut video you must cut the audio underneath it aswell otherwise the rest of your audio will messed up in your prohect. Hope you understand.

If you used “Clip Volume” rubber bands to adjust volume, the above suggestion will work fine…just set in and out points in the timeline and use the Extract command to remove the selection and ripple delete all tracks to the left.
If you used the audio mixer write feature, you will have to re-write ALL keyframes for the entire sequence!

Thanks guy for your response. Well I understood… the case is that audio tracks 2 & 3 are background music and if I cut all will listen a “jump” in the music continuity… this is terrible.
I can imagine the tracks as 3 extended ropes with aligning knots; if I cut one of the ropes the knots will go out of secuence. So, applying this to the tracks can’t see any solution.. isn’t it?

Not always possible but it is good editing practise to edit first then apply effects and transitions later as a final stage. (Including audio levels)

Hector – there are a lot of editing tools available in PrPro and you need to find the one to do the job of editing the Video track(s) only. I would not use the razor tool ( and rarely do anyway).

How would it work out for you if you “nested” your edit in a new composition, and then cut the front of that …?

Thanks all for the support… Yeah I need to learn more about Premiere & how to identify what I can do & what dont…
I bought a complete training but… when something happen and got stuck its no easy to examine or look forward in which DVD is the answer…or if there any answer at all…
You, guys definitively is the best bet
