Here's what I would do. Before applying the effect to the clip, extract its audio to one of the sound tracks. When you apply the burst effect, I presume it only affects the clip's internal audio channel. Just set the resulting clip's volume level to 0%, and you will be left with the original audio you extracted (don't forget to enable that audio channel with its checkbox at he right end of the timeline. -- Gordon Alley <*> <mailto:galley at texas.net> <http://galley.home.texas.net>
