What's the deal with incompetent freelancers? You're not
paying them to make your life harder, you're paying them
to make your life easier. If they can't follow a simple
instruction like "save the files in this folder," then
how can they be trusted with something more complex like
"trim x seconds off the start and y seconds off the end
and save out at x bit depth with y Khz?" How somebody
could support themselves freelancing if they lack competency
is beyond me. You'd might be better off with interns. ;)
AFAIK, you can't export audio the way you describe.
BTW, why do you need to export audio files that you imported?
What happened to those files?
You could edit the audio files in Director by opening
an external editor from within Director and trim them that
way. To break them up, you'll have to do the same thing that
you would normally do (copy and paste), but with the benefit
that you are viewing the exact Director member name during
the edit so you can save them with correct names. A more
effective method is to make all the audio files linked,
and then all your edits are updated automatically in
Director. When you are done editing, simply make the
linked files internal again.
