HelpingSaveHumanity Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Hi there, So sometimes the music I have that goes under my text slides is very short & I have to repeat it over & over again to cover all of the slides. At the end there's sometimes no sound, so I have to cut that part out so the music continues, but when I split that, I'm also splitting the video which doesn't hinder it, but it's kind of annoying when I play the video back in videopad, b/c it sort of skips around that mark. It doesn't skip when I export it & play it back on VLC, but it does in videopad & that always concerns me. Is there any way to just cut the music (in videopad) without also cutting the video? I figure not, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Hodkinson Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I find this a little niggling too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 It's unclear why it 'skips' but any single track can be split. Click the SPLIT button and make the choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Hodkinson Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Thank you borate, I think I've sorted mine now, I wondered why sometimes it was OK and sometimes it wasn't, it was the way I was clicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelpingSaveHumanity Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ok, but when you find the spot & place the red bar there, it's on both the video & the music b/c I put the background music on a separate track (sorry, forgot to mention that part) so I can lower the volume, so I still don't see how you can only split the audio. Do I have to click on "split all audio tracks" even though it's just one? Well it's more than one, but I have to do them one at a time, right? The software won't be able to cut the tail off of each of the same audio file, right b/c they are each at a different spot even though they are one after another.

borate Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 At the position of the cursor (red line) any single or multiple tracks can be split with the SPLIT button. Note the >. It leads to sub-menus... Check the ones that you want. The red and blue [ ] brackets that pop on when the top of the cursor is clicked will trim the start and end of the project - all tracks.

HelpingSaveHumanity Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Ok, I'll have to remember to come back her & see if I can figure it out the next time I need to do it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Hodkinson Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The best thing, is just set it up and have a play, you can try all sorts of ideas, I do, and it's amazing what you find you can do by just playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
