Shortening timeline after editing audio Jan 18, 2017 By Keith Carter Hi all does anybody know of a quick way to shorten a time line after you have inserted and edited audio. I quite often insert a large piece of audio then delete out the parts i don't want. but the timeline stays at the full length of the original audio. the only way i can find is to manually drag it. I'm sure there must be a quicker way
