Edit narration track (Jim Goodman)

[Jim G]

I made a video by adding narration to a slide show. Using Videopad I added a sound track. all good.

I now want to change some of the narration but the slides and the narration are synced. can anyone suggest how to unlink slides from narration so that I can edit the narration track

thanks

If the narration is a separate track right-click on it and UNLINK FROM VIDEO.

You can then split-out and mute portions of the original, or delete the track entirely and create new narration which can be positioned on a new track.

thank you. I have clicked Unlink. Can I lift that narration track to Wave pad to edit the narration. If so ,how can I do this

Without using Videopad, you can right-click on the clip in the PC folder and EDIT IN WAVEPAD, then import the result to Videopad.

If the clip is already loaded into VP, prior to unlinking there should be a right-click option to EDIT IN WAVEPAD, along with the option to SAVE AS NEW AUDIO FILE - even after unlinking.

The former will launch WP.  When closing it the edited clip should be auto-replaced in VP.  But save your changes first for protection.

The latter creates a new WAV file that can be imported to WP, edited, then manually imported back into VP.   The file is normally stored in your MUSIC folder.
