To use audio samples in the Timeline window:
1 In the Timeline window’s pop-up menu, choose Audio Units. The time rulers in the
Timeline window and Program view switch from a frame-based to a sample-based scale.
2 If necessary, expand the audio track containing the clip you want to edit, click the Set
Display Style button, and choose Show Waveform.
3 View the audio In point or Out point of the clip you want to edit in detail by dragging
the zoom slider to the right (or by using any other method to magnify the proper clip).
When the Alignment mode is set to audio samples, you can zoom to the sample level of
detail.
4 Trim the clip by doing one of the following:
• To adjust the In point, position the pointer over the left edge of the clip’s audio so that
the trim head tool appears, and drag left or right.
• To adjust the Out point, position the pointer over the right edge of the clip’s audio so
that the trim tail tool appears, and drag left or right.
5 Use the waveform display or play the audio to make sure that you adjusted the In point
properly.
Note: For more about trimming clips in the sequence, see “Trimming clips in the Timeline
window” on page 148.
Using markers
Markers indicate important points in time and help you position and arrange clips. Each
sequence and each clip can individually contain up to 100 numbered markers (labeled
from 0 to 99) and as many unnumbered markers as you want. In the Monitor window,
markers appear in each view’s time ruler as small icons. Clip markers also become icons
within the clip as it appears in the timeline, and sequence markers appear in the
sequence’s time ruler. In general, use clip markers to signify important points within an
individual clip (to identify a particular action or sound, for example); use sequence
markers to specify significant time points in terms of a sequence.

Working with markers is much the same as working with In and Out points; however,
markers are only for reference and do not alter the video (except for markers set up as
Web
links). In addition to setting markers, you can use commands to remove markers and to
cue the current time to the next, previous, or numbered marker.

Adding and changing markers
When setting markers (as with In and Out points) make sure that you’re working with the
version of the clip you want (see “Using source clips, clip instances, and duplicate clips” on
page 47). Markers added to a source clip (opened from the Project window) also appear in
the clip when you add it to the sequence. But changing a source clip’s markers doesn’t
affect individual instances of the clip already in a sequence, or vice versa.
To add an unnumbered clip marker:
1 Do one of the following:
• To add a marker to a master clip, double-click the clip in the Project window to open it
in the Source view.
• To add a marker to a clip in the sequence, double-click the clip to open it in the Source
view.
2 Go to the time location where you want to set the marker.
