Hey JD Make sure you highlight the audio track you want to edit. Then just apple-T (edit) the track. Make sure you don't have those volume lines turned on (y'know, those bars that only let you turn the sound down, not edit)-- when the lines are showing, you cannot cut the track.
Hope that helps! schlomo http://webzine2005.com http://schlomolog.blogspot.com --- In [email protected], JD Lasica <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A quick question: > > I put together an 11-minute video about mashups on Ourmedia.
