Not if you figure it out, and for the clip extension, you CAN merge the clips before you add them.

I don't need to figure it out. :) *plays around some more* Oh yeah, Ctrl-M, forgot you could do that.


There's more than just that, you could always CUT the clips to be where you want. (imagine that! :shock: )

Or, here's an idea. Synch one whole complete minute, save it, reimport it. Next synch another minute (to the next part of the song or wherever), save it.

Next put them both on the timeline, merged together, you have to tracks both merged perfectly with the synch if you timed it right. You just have to think outside the box with WMM.

Yes, because real editors make their own clips. :? Are we talking about different things here or something?

It's still the same episode. You can "make" your own stuff in WMM, but it cuts it up.

Yes, I think we just have a different way of thinking.

And who cares how the clips are cut if they both look the same at the end?

True, as long as you're equally happy with the methods available.
