Agaubthe fast forward

Post by lynnwil0 » Wed Mar 24, 2021 11:50 pm

I know there have been previous posts, I am absolute beginner just wanting to host a pop quiz Zoom (late to this party) but I have recorded 10 clips with 30 secs breaks ( recorded silence) between answers to allow quality thinking time. When asked to go back to a clip how do I fast forward to clip of choice? Seems like a basic prpperty of a package to have but on reading previous posts and having a fiddle I can't intutitively find a way. Any hl p much appreciaed, its for my 50th Birthday Pop Quiz, so forgive the grey mater.

Are those separate clips, or one continuous track with audio separated by silence?

I'm not sure that you can. However, if you label each clip (Ctrl+B), you can use Alt-RightArrow or Alt-LeftArrow to skip between the clips.

I hope this helps. :D

Double click on the clip, then press "Play" (or "spacebar").

If your "clips" are actually clips in the Audacity sense (separate, moveable chunks of audio within a track) you can use the following menu commands to move between clips:
Transport > Cursor to > Previous Clip Boundary
Transport > Cursor to > Next Clip Boundary

In Keyboard Preferences you can assign shortcut keys to these commands.
