Video and Audio

[Gary Randall]

When I add a video clip to VMS Plat and I want to trim the clip I drag the edge and the video is trimmed but the audio that is assocated with that clip does not trim. (It does not move) How can you trim a video clip and audio at the same time?

Sounds like you may have "Ignore Event Grouping" turned on so it's treating them as two separate pieces instead of one grouped piece. It should be a button on the toolbar. Just turn that off and try again.

you could also highlight both items (hit the "d" key until the cursor looks like a dotted box) and then click and drag around both clips. Hit "G" to group them. They should now be tied together. If the clip group has any "J" or "L" ends sticking out (ie audio clip is longer than video, vice versa) then resizing the longer clip will not affect the shorter until the clip edges are aligned.
