Duplicate Audio Montage by Recreating Audio Files Dialog

You can create a copy of the audio montage in which the actual audio files are duplicated to create a new self-contained audio montage. In this dialog, you can specify how the selected audio montage is duplicated.

  • To open the Duplicate Audio Montage by Recreating Audio Files dialog, open an audio montage and select the File tab. Select New > Audio Montage > From Current File, select Duplicate (Recreate Audio Files), and click Create.

Name of Audio Montage Duplicate

Specifies the file name of the audio montage duplicate.

Location

The location where you want to create the audio montage duplicate and its audio files.

Exact Audio File Duplicates

If this option is activated, the cloned audio files are exact copies of the original files. Unused ranges are not removed.

The files are recreated and saved in an uncompressed format. For example, an MP3 file that is included in an audio montage will be recreated as a PCM file. In other words, the content is recreated, not the file format.

Combine Audio Files into as Few Audio Files as Possible

If this option is activated, all used ranges in the original audio files are copied and combined into a single audio file to which the clips in the clone refer. The file gets the same name as the audio montage clone file.

Note

If the audio montage contains both mono and stereo clips, there will be two combined audio files, one for mono material (with the suffix “M”) and one for stereo material (with the suffix “S”).

Remove Unused Ranges

If this option is activated, the same number of audio files is created, but any unused ranges in the files are removed. This reduces the file size.

Split Files to Remove Unused Ranges

If this option is activated, unused ranges in the files are removed, and the file is split into several new files when a range is removed.

Create One File per Clip

If this option is activated, every clip in the audio montage clone refers to a unique file, containing only the audio that is used in the clip. The files are named after the clips. A number is added if several clips have the same name.

Create One File per Clip (Avoid Duplicates)

If this option is activated, every clip in the audio montage clone refers to a unique file, containing only the audio that is used in the clip. The files are named after the clips. However, if two clips use the same audio range, a common file is created for these clips.

Clip Margins

Allows you to add a number of seconds before and after the beginning and end of the clip range in the created audio files. This allows you to lengthen the clips in the cloned audio montage at a later stage.

Use File Names as Clip Names

If this option is activated, the clips in the cloned audio montage get the name of the corresponding audio file.

Copy Audio File Markers

If this option is activated, the markers in the original audio files are included in the recreated files.
