Corel VideoStudio Help | Adjusting audio duration

Adjusting audio duration

VideoStudio lets you stretch an audio clip to match video duration without distorting its pitch. Normally, stretching audio clips to fit the project results in a distorted sound. The time stretch feature will make the audio clip sound like it is just played in a slower tempo.

To adjust the duration of an audio clip

1 Click an audio clip in the Timeline.

2 Open the Options panel.

The Music & Voice panel opens on the Basic page.

3 Enter a value in the Speed box or drag the slider to change the speed of the audio clip.

A slower speed makes the clip’s duration longer while a faster speed makes it shorter.

You can also
Specify the time duration of a clip	Enter values in the Audio Duration boxes. The speed of the clip is automatically adjusted to the specified duration. Note: Specifying a shorter time duration does not trim a clip.

When you stretch an audio clip by 50-150%, the sound will not be distorted; however, if you stretch the clip below or above that range, the sound may be distorted.

You can also stretch the duration of an audio clip in the Timeline by holding down Shift and dragging the handles on the selected clip.
