Using the Insert Silence Command to Insert Space in Video Tracks

The Insert Silence command lets you make a selection on a track (or tracks) and insert precisely that amount of space. You can also select across video and audio tracks, and use the Insert Silence command to insert audio silence and space simultaneously.

In Shuffle mode, all video data on the track is shuffled later in the track by an amount equal to the selection. In Slip, Grid, or Spot mode, the Insert Silence command works just like the Edit > Clear command.

To insert space into a video track:

1 Make a selection in a track or tracks. The length of the selection determines the duration of the space inserted.

2 Choose Edit > Insert Silence.
