I use womble for virtually all of my edits. In my latest (in the works) edit I found a way to get around an audio glitch and around using a fade to connect two clips that may produce a hard audio cut
Womble has a cross fade option for audio only if you use special effects.
I kind of figured an easy way to get a cross fade without it (damn program should offer that as a regular option)
ok for this example we are going to have two clips named 1 and 2.
It also should be noted now that womble will allow you to extend a clip if you pull/drag at the end of it
so let us say clip 1 is 2 mins long, but for our project we had to cut it at 1 minute. Even though the clip is 1 min on the timeline, let us say we now need that clip to really be 1min 20 seconds. Drag the end side of the clip (like as if you are going to pull one end of it, womble will only highlight the end of the clip and not the whole thing) and the clips running time will extend for however long you drag it (which you can fine tune)
I mentioned that because it is a needed part
ok so on our timeline we have clip 1 joined with clip two. We have a fade out for clip 1's audio and a fade in for clip two to remove any hard audio cut. Though it would be better if it made a crossfade to blend these two audio sources together and giving you something much better than a fade
here is what we do. Right click on clip 1 and hit copy. Now go down two rows on womble's timeline to the extra audio line. Right click/paste
Womble will allow you if your video has audio to copy and paste the clip on the audio timeline
Match the durations so if your video starts at the 10min 04 second mark, your audio clip should start on this mark as well to sync them.
On the video line right click on clip 1 and select audio and Mute the track
Now clip 1 will be using the audio you copied from the video timeline to the audio timeline and
if you have it start in the same spot the sync should be fine.
here is the crossfade effect. On the video time line take a look where clip 1 and 2 meet. On the audio timeline drag/pull the end of clip 1 a second or two over into the start time of clip 2
this will work as a fake crossfade. You can still fade out the audio of clip 1 because the fade will occur after clip 2 has started. Likewise add a 1-2 second fade in on clip 2
In the end as clip 1 is fading out, clip 2 is fading in but at one point both sounds overlap in a nice mix
I am sure I made this much more confusing than it had to be, but I hope you get the idea
