Adobe Audition: Basic timeline editing and clip trimming

Demo summary
The demo shows importing media, creating a sequence, and using the Ripple Delete and Q/W shortcuts to trim clips on the timeline.
Step-by-step
- Double-click the media folder to view footage and sound effects.
- Drag a clip onto the timeline to create a sequence.
- Go to Sequence > Sequence Settings to adjust time base (FPS) or frame size.
- Ensure the 'Snap in Timeline' magnet icon is blue to snap clips together.
- Select clips and right-click 'Unlink' to separate video from audio tracks.
- Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to zoom in and out of the timeline.
- Drag the end of a clip to the playhead to manually trim its duration.
- Right-click a gap between clips and select 'Ripple Delete' to close the space.
- Press 'W' to delete all footage after the playhead on a clip and ripple the following clips.
- Press 'Q' to delete all footage before the playhead on a clip.
Options
- Change time base (FPS) in sequence settings.
- Adjust video frame size (e.g., 1920 x 1080 HD).
- Modify video preview file formats or codecs to improve playback performance.
- Utilize multiple video tracks (V1, V2, V3) by dragging clips vertically.
Watch out for
- If the 'Snap in Timeline' icon is not blue, clips will not automatically snap together.
- Unlinking is required before you can delete audio tracks independently of their video.
Tips
- Keep your footage at the same frame rate throughout the project for the best results.
- Use 24 frames per second for a realistic, cinematic look with motion blur.
- Use 30 frames per second or higher for a very crisp, smooth look.
- Set your color space to Rec 709.
- Use the Q and W keyboard shortcuts at all times to speed up your editing workflow.
Highlights
“q and w are great shortcuts that you need to know and need to use in your workflow at pretty much all times”
