Getting Started
Editing the Announcer
Now that the announcerÕs voice begins at the correct time, we will
remove any pauses or breaths. This will allow us to Þt the entire read
into the allotted time. To do so, we will split the audio and delete the
silence in the same way that we trimmed the preceding event.
The silence has been deleted, so now we should move the audio that
followed it.
4. Click OK.
Now our audio event bears the name Edited V/O, which is more
descriptive. Next, we will remove the pauses between sections of the
script. You may want to save your work before continuing.
