Arranging M edia in Yo ur Production
Note: the Crossfade option does not overwrite the content on the track,
instead adding a transition between the two clips. The Crossfade option is
only available if the end of the new clip is not over any existing content on
the track.
Replace: select to replace the current audio clip on the timeline with the new
audio clip. Use this option if you don't want to change the structure of the
current content on the timeline.
Note: if the duration of the audio clip you are replacing is shorter than the
newly added audio clip, CyberLink PowerDirector automatically trims it to fit
the original clip's duration.
If the timeline slider is in a gap between two clips on an audio timeline track when
inserting audio, you are prompted to use one of these ripple editing options to
insert the clip:
Trim to Fit: select to have CyberLink PowerDirector auto trim off the end of
the audio clip to fit the gap to the right of the timeline slider.
Speed up to Fit: select to have CyberLink PowerDirector auto speed up the
audio clip so that it fits the gap to the right of the timeline slider.
