In Render, you can divide the reference audio into smaller translatable portions. After you listen to the entire reference audio, the Divide button—a knife—will become active.

Watch this video for a demonstration.


Steps of cutting a passage:


1.First, click on the Knife button. You will be brought to the Divide page:




2.Click on the yellow play button.


3.Click pause where you would like to make a division. If you paused too early or too late, you can press play and pause again. Alternatively, move the scrubber (the green line) to the spot you would like.


4.Click on the Knife button. This is what your page will look like this:



The dark blue shaded box is the cut portion that will now be your translation reference.

6. If you need to change your cut slightly, hold down the white triangle and move it to include or exclude the necessary portion. If you need to make a significant change to the cut, click the Undo button—the circled arrow—and repeat steps two through five.


7. Once you are satisfied with the placement of your cut, press Submit Division.

You are now back at the Translate Record page.
