Similar to adjusting the clip volume, muting individual clips is essential for achieving a balanced and professional sound in a project.
How to mute and unmute a clip in the Audio Editor:
Navigate to the Audio Editor and right click on the clip you wish to mute.
Within the popup menu, click on the volume button to mute the individual clip. To unmute, just select the volume button again.
How to mute a clip in the Video Editor:
Right-click on the audio clip in the timeline.
Select Mute from the dropdown menu.
This is especially helpful when working with multiple layers of audio and video in your project.
