split edit question

Hi,

A split edit question. When I want to perform a split edit and want to get rid of the whole video from the incoming clip it always leaves one frame. Like in the attached screenshot. Is there a way to avoid this without detach the audio?

If you want to get rid of the picture, why don't you want to detach the audio?

Hi Tom,

Cause it's an extra step. And when I change my mind I have to find the video again. But it sounds logic to leave only the audio.

You could use the position tool and drag the remaining bit of video out of the primary and then roll out the remaining gap with the adjacent shot. Though I'm not sure if it isn't easier to Shift-F to the original clip should you need to retrieve the video at some stage.

The shift-f tool is really handy. I'll try your suggestion
