Hi, thanks for this. Of course the method you described of trimming to the marked beats is exactly what I was aiming for but couldn’t get to it and still can’t trim the video track independent of the audio track, even with the generous attempts of a few people to make suggestions on COW. To you and others, I’m sorry but I have no idea what ‘primary and secondary story line’ refers to! Remember, my last editing years were with FCP 7. I’ve become so desperate I even oped Adobe Premiere to try to accomplish this SIMPLE editing task and I’m amazed that Premiere at least LOOKS like an EDITOR!!! However in Premiere I can’t get the waveform to show up on the audio track… What has happened to video editing?? How do you guys function?? I admire your initiative!
