Changing The Length Of Audio Material - Roland Direct Linear DV-7DL PRO Quick Start Manual

Arranging Audio Material

■ Changing the Length of Audio Material

You can set an In point and an Out point in audio material and use just the portion you need. When
captured audio material is too long, you can adjust the length of the audio material to match the video.
* For more information about In points and Out points, refer to "Changing the Length of Material" (p. 20).
Changing the In point and Out point for material on the Timeline Palette
Dragging the edge of a piece of material with the mouse lets you change the position of the In point or
Out point.
In point
When you move the pointer close to the edge of a piece of material on the Timeline, the shape of the
pointer changes.
The shape of the pointer depends on whether it is at the top or bottom of the edge of the material, as the
figure shows.
The shape of the pointer determines how adjacent material behaves when you shorten the length of the
material.
* When you lengthen (extend) material, subsequent material is shifted toward the end by an amount corresponding
to the extended length.
When the pointer has this shape,
shortening the material leaves an empty
space in the area where the material used
to be. Also, the position of subsequent
material does not change.
When the pointer has this shape,
shortening the material makes subsequent
material shift forward.
* This pointer appears only at the place where
