Hello again; Okay, i figured out what i was doing wrong on adding the title. I wasn't holding the command key firmly enough when pressing v to do th paste. now, my title is appearing before the video like it should. one down one to go. but now my audio i add is playing the whole length and riding over the audio from my video. am i supposed to interact with the title before pressing command v? hate to be such a bother, but there must be something I'm just not getting. thanks so much, max On Jun 9, 2012, at 10:17 AM, Blinkin wrote:
