You may want to do further editing and timing of the audio clip in the overall Timeline. It\u2019s simpler to do this if you utilize both the Timeline and Xsheet together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, select the Audio Layer by simply clicking on the layer, in the region to the right of the Layer Name. By doing so, you will have selected the layer. This is then represented as a blue-highlight in the Xsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do so, so, use the mouse\/curser to select the start of a block of frames (e.g., Frame 1), hold down the Shift Key and select the end of the block (e.g., Frame 20). Doing so will highlight the group in blue. With the mouse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
