Aside from trimming, you can also cut audio clips. Drag the Jog Slider to the
position where you want to cut the audio clip then click Cut clip based on Jog
Slider position. You can then delete the excess part of the clip.
Tip: To play the trimmed portion of the clip, click Play Trimmed Clip.
Note: VideoStudio also has an Auto-trim function. When you insert an audio clip
between two existing clips in the Timeline, it will automatically be trimmed to fit the
available space.

Stretching audio duration

The time stretch feature allows you to stretch an audio clip without distorting its
pitch. Normally, stretching audio clips to fit the project results in a distorted sound.
The time stretch feature will make the audio clip sound like it is just played in a
slower tempo.
Note: When you stretch an audio clip by 50-150%, the sound will not be distorted.
However, if stretched below or above that range, the sound may be distorted.
To stretch the duration of an audio clip:
1. Click the Music & Voice tab in the Options Panel.
2. Click Playback Speed to open the Playback Speed dialog box.
3. Enter a value in Speed or drag the slider to change the speed of the audio clip.
A slower speed makes the clip's duration longer while a faster speed makes it
shorter.
