184 LESSON 8 Working with Sound

Creating a split edit

At times, you may want the audio to begin before the video or to extend after the

video into the next clip (or vice versa). Trimming linked audio and video separately

is called a split edit. Usually, when you

create a split edit in one clip, you must create

one in the adjacent clip so they don’t overlap each other. You can create two kinds

of split edits:

• A J-cut, or audio lead, in which audio starts before linked video, or video

continues after the audio.

• An L-cut, or video lead, in which video starts before linked audio, or audio

continues after the video.
