caniac Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have a sequence I need to shorten by almost half, is there an easy way to do that? Also have and ending section I need to preserve so I guess I can cut and paste that where I want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under one of the menus is an option to change the total length but it will delete any lighting effects you've programmed after that time period. I've used this on a few songs where the media file has too many seconds of silence at the end. It's a nice way to shorten the silence without having to edit the audio file.Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimswinder Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I would create a new musical sequence and copy and paste...you could also try changing the "Track Time" to 2:06...but it sounds like you wanted to save the end of the song and this would delete those events after 2:06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilrock Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think you can still do what I suggested...I just checked the help file and it's under the Edit menu and is called "Change Total Time". If you use that option and type in 2:06 it will truncate you're sequence to that length. If you need to copy the ending then open up both versions and copy it from the other file after you trucate the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
