How to stretch a ambient sound to fit a timeline

[Sanjay Borra]

Newbie here

I shot a couple of clips at a train station with a consumer camera.. It has lot of background noise.. During the shooting i captured ambient sound using an external audio thinking that I could use it as a background sound in the final edit.. Want i want to do is extract couple of seconds from the recorded audio and stretch it till the end of the timeline. Any suggestions how to do this please ? TIA

How long is the timeline? You can't really just use a couple of seconds of sound to fill several minutes. But it is a bit difficult to tell you what can be done without knowing what the sound is. However if your timeline was 30 secs and you had 38 secs of sound then you could stretch it to fit. You might be better off going online and down loading a suitable free sound effect for your video.
