Working with Audio in the Timeline

Once you load audio into the timeline in Flame, you can perform many of the same editing operations as you use to edit video. You can sync audio with video, cut and trim audio segments, and add fades and crossfades. You can assign audio tracks to input strips in AudioDesk. You can also apply audio soft effects and scrub, mute, and solo individual audio tracks. You can apply these on the fly while the clip is playing.

You can merge two audio tracks in a single stereo track. See Editing Stereo Audio Tracks.

There are more ways that you can work with audio in the timeline, such as:

- You can edit your audio in the timeline. See Editing to the Timeline.
- You can create an edit sync group to keep audio and video in sync as you edit in the timeline. See Maintaining Sync between Elements.
- You can gesturally edit audio clips in the same way you gesturally edit video clips. See Editing to the Timeline.
- You can trim audio tracks on a frame, or sub-frame basis. See Trimming Segments Gesturally.
