You can use the
Attribute Editor for a selected audio node in order to adjust how an audio clip plays in the
Camera Sequencer. You can edit when the audio starts and stops playing in the sequence, change which part of the audio source is used, or add extra frames with no sound at the beginning of the clip.
Note: If you encounter jittering or stuttering in the audio playback while using multiple tracks, use
MAYA_SEQUENCER_ENABLE_AUDIO_FIX in the
Audio Variable topic to correct for this.
