How Do I Cut Audio Only in Premiere Pro?

You can cut audio only in Premiere Pro by using the Razor Tool.

Here's how:

1. Select the Razor Tool: Click on the Razor Tool icon in the Tools panel or press the "C" key on your keyboard.
2. Position the Playhead: Move the playhead to the point in the timeline where you want to cut the audio.
3. Cut the Audio: Click on the audio track at the desired position. This will create a cut point, separating the audio into two clips.
4. Delete or Adjust: You can now delete the unwanted portion of the audio or adjust the cut point by dragging the playhead.

Practical Insights:

• Use the Ripple Edit option to automatically adjust the remaining clips after deleting a portion of the audio.
• Use the Shift key while using the Razor Tool to create multiple cut points simultaneously.
• You can also use the "B" key to mark a cut point and then the "N" key to mark another cut point. This creates a selection that you can then delete or move.

Example:

Imagine you have a video with background music that you want to shorten. You can use the Razor Tool to cut the audio at the desired point, delete the unwanted portion, and then adjust the remaining audio to fit the length of the video.
