Normally shorten a file is very simple in cinelerra.
You go to the track point with the mouse the end or the beginning. you'll have an arrow showing back or forth according where is your mouse arrow. You clic and move the file left or right ... That's all.. Normally there's a bug there sometimes it will shut down while you're doing this. So you better save everything before doing it. And don't forget to disarm other tracks anf arm the good one.

Hi all, I have been using Cinelerra to do video for a couple years. I really like the program I like the way it feels and looks. I really like the camera and projector features a lot. I do have a now and then problem with sound and maybe someone can help me with it. A little about my system is: I have a 2003 Hp box with an asus mother board dual core Amd 64 bit. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with the standard kernel. A sound problem I have is that if I put a sound file on the time line and click on the farthest end from zero to shorten the clip it seems to move the beginning toward zero though it is not visible on the time line. It begins playing the clip the amount I shortened the clip at the front end although it is not visible there. Not only that even If I delete the track and reinstall the audio file I end up with the sound way ahead of the visable track. Some times the sound may even be before zero on the time line. I am using drag and drop to install the sound file one the track. Maybe this is wrong?? My work around is to make a clip exactly the length I want and place it on the timeline. This works but is a little unhandy as the first clip I make is usually not exactly the length I want and I have to make a second one. I feel that there is a problem with this in Cinelerra or I am doing something wrong as this is an old problem for me and have this problem with several different installs of the program. I would like to be able tho drag the file to shorten it just for convince sake. If any more info is need please let me know so I can supply it or if someone knows of a link can get a solution at. Thanks, Doug

I left this out so I replied to my own post. I also tried Ubuntu Studio thinking there might be some magic in it for Cinelerra :-) The problem existed there as well. Doug

HI Haldun, That is what I have been doing. I click on the end or beginning of the sound file in the track and shorten the file by dragging. It appears to work. When I play the file from zero it starts playing ahead of where it shows up in the audio track. Now If I drag the back end of the track back out to lengthen the file to it's original full length it stops Playing at the point where I had originally drug it to when shortening the file. I hope this make some sense. In this case the file is the original length now but plays ahead of where it shows in the track. Doug
