After a long day of editing, your workspace might start to look
fragmented, with pieces of audio clips appearing in their tracks
with long stretches of empty space. This is not necessarily a
bad thing, but it does sometimes allow for accidental moves of
precisely timed sound cues and it also may reflect a number of
disparate files on your harddrive even though you consider the
track one instance of music.
By merging clips, you can change a number of clips into one
consolidated file on your harddrive:
Select the clips within a track that you want to merge into
one.
Click the menu and select
.
In the Merge/Export window, enter a
new name for the merged file and save it to a logical
location on your harddrive.
The merged audio clip immediately replaces the old files
in your project.
