Yea, but I want BOTH ... I just want to be able to set in-out points based on the audio track (it's easier to see where the audio gets quiet that way). For example, below is a screen shot of the clip preview that shows both the active frame and a film-strip-like sequence of all the frames. What I'd like is if the red-circled area could be switched out to show the associated audio track. Is there anyway to do that?

so if it's unlinked from the video, will the in-out point ALSO apply to the corresponding video too? Or... will they be separate because the audio has been unlinked? And, BTW, thanks so much for the speedy responses on this thread!

I see no way to view an audio wave-form while looking in the CLIP PREVIEW. How do I find the audio sequence you mention above in the CLIP portion? Note, I do know how to do that in the SEQUENCE PREVIEW, but the sequence preview only allows me to split and not set in-out points, and doing this on the sequence helps a lot, but all the time... sometime it's more desireable to do it on the clip preview.

I'm a new (purchased!) user of video pad and I'm finding the user interface a bit counter-intuitive. I am trying to precisely set in-out points for a clip I'm editing based on the AUDIO portion of the file. The video is a screen recording of a powerpoint presentation and the speaker bungled a bullet point, paused a bit and read it again. I'd like to cut out the bungled portion and the pause and pick up from the 2nd "take". This is spectacularly easy if I can SEE the waveform of the accompanying audio, but when I'm setting in-out points on the clip I can not see the audio wave form. I have to believe this feature exists and that I'm just not finding the proper menu item to reveal it. Note, I can see the waveform in sequence mode, but the clip in-out buttons are not available when I'm viewing the clip that way. So... it's really puzzling and very frustrating. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Mike
