What should I do when editing video clips together if the audio overlaps or cuts off mid-sentence?

When adding multiple clips together, make sure the audio from one clip doesn’t interrupt or overlap with another. The key is to clip or split your video at the end of a complete thought or sentence, not in the middle of speaking. Before finalizing, use the preview button (a triangle on the middle-left side of the editing screen) to play through your reel and hear exactly where your audio cuts and transitions happen. This lets you catch any awkward cuts where you’re interrupted mid-sentence, and you can adjust the timing so each clip ends cleanly before the next one begins. This creates a smoother, more professional viewing experience.
