ONE WAY TO USE IT · ILLUSTRATION

Give a longer song a shorter job

For a post, dance rehearsal or first-dance idea, keep a chosen opening and the original ending. Preview whether the combination feels right.

Shortening is more than cutting off the end

A simple trim keeps one continuous excerpt. An arrangement can remove an interior section and retain a later moment. Choose the approach that serves your idea.

If the song has words, listen for unfinished phrases. Optional lyric timing can help protect timed phrases, but you still decide whether the edit makes musical and lyrical sense.

A few things you might be wondering

Does shortening speed up the song?

Cutting sections leaves their playback speed unchanged. Tempo adjustment is a separate optional control.

Can I keep the original ending?

Yes. Turn on Keep the original ending. The editor checks that the final section reaches the source end. Choose how much ending to retain in the advanced controls.
