To copy a section of audio using In and Out points:
1 Set In and Out points in the Timeline to identify the range of audio you want to copy.
If necessary, turn off the Auto Select controls of tracks with overlapping audio you don’t
want to copy; you can Option-click the Auto Select control of the audio track you’re
copying from to solo it, and you can Shift-click any video track’s Auto Select control
to turn them all off. In this example, we’re copying some background ambience to
continue building an ambience track.
