When trying to move an audio selection in the timeline, there seems to be an invisible line which causes the audio to shorten. If I move the selected audio away, it expands to its full length. I've included some screen shots in an attempt to explain myself. Does it make sense to anyone? Can anyone show me the answer? I'm sure it's something simple. Any help appreciated.

Expand out your time line with the slider above the time line to the right. That probably will resolve it. When you have your timeline shrunk down all the video clips look the same size when some may be of much longer duration than others. When an audio clip is under a very long duration video it will look much smaller.

Rich...can I ask you one additional question without starting a new thread?
For the audio tracks, I can fade in and out at the beginning and end of a track. But, is there a way to at a midpoint in an audio track to bring the audio level down and then bring it back up (this would be when a parallel video clip has audio that I would like to be heard and not over driven by the audio track)?

Take a look at this link to the Online help menu that explains how to change the volume of part of a clip:

Ahh...the magic timeline slider...that solved it. Thanks (again) Rich. Much appreciated.
You are very welcome! :)
