Nothing is worse than having a narration track that is just a second or two long. Or a commercial where you need to shoe-horn 33 seconds of copy into 29.5 seconds. Or, you have a LOT of legal caveats to race through as fast as possible. Well, you could spend a lot of time editing, but Soundtrack Pro has a better solution: the Time Stretch tool.

In this short, step-by-step tutorial, Larry Jordan shows you what the Time Stretch tool is, how to select and adjust the length of a word, then how to select and adjust the length of a phrase. By the time this tutorial is complete, you’ll be able to match wild audio to lip-sync, or adjust the length of an entire clip so that it fits into exactly the time you need.
